Headin' Home

Still in Phoenix today...the team is playing tonight.  The hockey arena, Jobbing.com Arena, is right next door to the University of Phoenix Football Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL and also home to Super Bowl XLII in a little over one week.  They have been very busy building up around this area...and the parking lots and businesses are bustling even now.  This whole area has changed so much since the first time I came here in '03...the hockey arena was a lone standing building surrounded by fields and one goat farm.  Apparently the goat farmer is now a rich man somewhere because his farm is gone.

I will fly home after the game and get to Nash-Vegas around 3 am.  

Our sweet niece, Hannah, is coming to town tomorrow night!  She will be with us for the weekend, then take off with Sandy and the twins on the cruise to Mexico.

Zach had his last meet of the season last night.  He has been wrestling exhibition, which means his matches don't count for or against the team score.  He has to do that since he wrestled varsity last year at BGA as an 8th grader.  He used up one year of his high school eligibility. Anyway, he pinned his guy in the first period.  The team is really looking forward to Zach being there next year, and his pins counting! 

Sandy has stepped away from working with Nicole's clothing line for awhile.  It had turned into a factory job with her going in everyday and sewing on jeans.  It was affecting her friendship with Nicole in a negative way, so we'll how that shakes out.  They didn't get to talk and have fun like they used to, so they decided that Sandy would get out of the office and just work creative. 

Sandy is working on her second drama that I will be acting in this Sunday at church.  She dances, she acts, she is incredible.

I'll let you know how it goes!  Signing off from the Valley of the Sun!
