thursday, june 28th...

This morning John left to meet with some potential clients in Provo, so I stayed home, and went swimming at the Murray pool with Rania, Clint, Kailey, and Kailey's little friend, Alivia. The water was nice and warm, but the wind was cold, so I was tempted to immerse myself in the water, and stay there the entire time...

Later, I took Ruby, and we went swimming with Kim and Erica at Kim's in-law's house. We didn't last too long, because once again, even though the water was warm, the wind was still cold, and we were freezing! (That's what I love about swimming in Arizona. I don't even bring a towel half the time, because the sun just warms us right up, and dries us off really fast.) Ruby had fun showing off her underwater breathing skills, and even jumped off the edge of the pool a couple of times.

We joined John's family at Spaghetti Mama's for dinner. That's usually where we go every time we go out with them. It's pretty funny because really the only reason we go there, is because they have a great big round table that everyone can fit around, which allows us to all take part in the conversation. (I think one of the most frustrating things about going to eat in a big group, is that they always put you at a long rectangular table, and you usually end up talking only to the person right next to, or across from you.) So anyway, this time, we had a really slow waiter (I guess he was new), and the food was pretty marginal, and they kept messing up our orders...so John's brother Paul, finally said "hey, how about we start looking for a new restaurant with a big round table"? I thought that was pretty funny, but then again, tonight, I thought everything was funny...
