A Rock and a Hard Place!

I survived a very busy weekend. It started with the stake high council party on Friday night. It was a fun evening with good food, great company and a fun white elephant gift exchange. We chose a good gift that someone quickly took, and in return got a box of screws and fasteners. We were pretty bummed when we left the party. Spencer called to let us know he was coming with the team even though he was injured. He wanted us to go out to the hotel to visit with him on Sat. evening. We picked my parents up and off we went to the Westin Keirland Resort. We had a nice visit with him and one of his teammates and it was a beautiful place for the team to stay. We didn't get home until around midnight and Rich had early meetings at 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 o'clock church. We had decided not to go to the game because number one it was on Sunday and number two he wasn't playing. We felt like we were in a bad spot because the team had him come because he is from Arizona so he could see his family. Anyway, after lots of going back and forth we decided to go to church and then out to the stadium. The game was horrible, typical Denver Bronco football. As I was sitting there watching all the people drinking, yelling and occasionally cussing it made me realize why we don't do these things on Sunday. It was impossible to feel any kind of spirit in that kind of environment. After the game we got to go see Spencer before he left back to Denver. As parents we will do anything for out kids to see them happy. As we went to bed last night we felt a mix of emotions. We had so much fun seeing our son and watch him on the field with the team, but we knew that isn't where we should be on Sunday. I'm glad we went but we probably will never go again. Life is all about choices and sometimes we make good ones and other times we kind of mess up. We did have a ton of fun being with our family and Spencer was so fun!
