Getting Back to Normal

The rest of the week after my birthday went quickly. Thursday I had the temple, Friday the investors working with Hi-Z threw a party for the company so Lisa and I went to that. We also took Brandon and Serene, after all, Brandon is a "former" employee of Hi-Z. That was a fun evening visiting with everyone. Saturday we did some clean up around the house and yard plus we kissed Brandon and family good bye.

Sunday was a nice calm day. Today was work as normal and it was strange not having Alex there. I gave him the last few days off work on the condition that he gets everything ready for his move. Let's see if he actually pulls through.

I'm trying something very unusual for me. I've asked Ben to start up a Fantasy Football League for the family. This is very unlike me but I figured that if most of the family is into football a little competition could be fun. Trevor and Alycia obviously bowed out since they're on their honeymoon and they have things other than football on their minds and Brandon bowed out because he thinks football is "barbaric", Mom bowed out and I didn't even think to invite Sarah. Our teams are Me, Ben, Sharley, Justin, Kira, Alex, Pat and Nate. Pat and Nate are like family members so they count. Wish me luck, the draft is on Tuesday. I really don't know what I'm doing but it should be fun.
