Little Buddha

Wow this was a great week!  Monday was busy with driver's ed and high school track awards night.  Jordan got one of the outstanding track athlete awards. Tuesday began the week of events to attend.  After school on Tuesday we took Jordan to Adrian's and bought most of his missionary clothes.  I was very impressed with the gentleman that helped us (Dave Farnsworth?) I will need to go back and find out his name.  After getting the clothes total came to $1000 (which both sets of grandparents split down the middle, thanks this really helped us out) Jordan went to high school graduation practice and Sunny and I went to the temple to go through with Easton and Kazden Jolley.  It was a great session and glad we could support them.  They have both been really great friends to Jordan. Also on Tuesday I submitted my application for one of the two assistant principal/athletic director positions in the district.  Wednesday was high school graduation.  Before that we had an assembly at the intermediate school Jansen was recognized for his work in orchestra.  Graduation was fun, it was at the Burns Arena in St. George and I did pretty good holding my emotions in check.  After graduation we took Jordan to get some garments in preparation to going through the temple on Thursday. Eileen had a party for Jordan later that afternoon.  The real fun came around 10:30 that night when Sunny and I went to help out with the grad night party.  It was a fun evening even though we were out until 4 in the morning, helping with a ring toss game.  I had never been to a grad night but thought the event was excellent for the kids.  Thursday morning I was pretty tired but was able to make it through the last day of school, fortunately it was only a half day.  Thursday afternoon we went through the temple with Jordan, this was a really great experience.  My parents were there along with McKell's, Larsens, and Johnsons.  There were also many of Jordan's friends and their parents.  Erik Mitchell also went through on Thursday.  After the session we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  Friday morning I had an interview for the assistant principal position. Also on Friday my parents packed up their camper and headed home. Friday evening we went to the temple with Cody Lebaron after that session we went to dinner at Chili's.  Saturday we helped Gary trim his hedge.  It was a pretty big project.  Sunday we had normal meetings. I taught Teacher/Priest Quorum. I had a stake leadership meeting Sunday evening.

Just some easy miles around La Verkin.  Ran in a pair Mazuno's that my father in-law gave me.

Ran out to the Toquerville Cemetery and then back home.  I spent most of the day doing driver's ed after that.  I did 6 miles this afternoon from my house over to the pickleball courts and back, very hot outside.

Basketball this morning and then weights and a 5 mile run down through Pah Tempe and up the river.

Got up early and went over and did a tempo run with the running club.  I felt ok, legs a little tired.  Did 1.5 warm-up then 5 miles from Confluence Trailhead over to River road and then back on the Mayor's Loop.

Decent run from Virgin chapel out to Dalton's Wash and then up the road for awhile and then back.
