It's tough at the bottom

Allie had her first tournament with the Splash volleyball team. It is a national traveling team which she tried out for in December. We were actually a bit surprised that she made it considering that she let them know up front that she did not play on Sundays.
The team went to Phoenix last weekend and Allie found out how tough a team like that can be. She is used to getting a lot of playing time and she only got to play about 1/4th of the games. She did well when she was in, but didn't get many sets. It was hard, but she muscled up the strength to have the best attitude she could and got through it. We hope the next tournament will be better.
Baily and I had a good weekend alone. We both decided that we didn't like being such a small family. It was way too quiet. She had friends over on Saturday night to watch a scary movie - PG13 of course. On Friday night we went to "The Gauntlet" rivalry basketball game at the high school. I was there to work concessions and she was there to make noise. It was a lot of fun.
Ryleigh had a visitor down in Provo. Jordan Berezay went down to visit. He had never been there before so between her, Joey Plumb, Nikki Bean and Alek Feistner (and maybe others) they had a great time. Ryleigh is staying busy down there and doing great.
Bret and Britt are plugging along just trying to get Britt through school. The roofing business is slow right now so Bret is trying to get on with Hollywood Video again. They want to hire him as a shift leader but their computer has a glitch and they can't seem to get his paperwork. Hopefully they will get it straightened out soon.
We have been very blessed to have renters in the duplex we just finished building and are ready to start building another. We have a partnership with Dave and Lisa Bowers. They are great people to work with.
All in all, life is good.
