I find that a lot of my friends spend a lot of time outside doing fun stuff and enjoying the sun because they have kids. I'm always jealous of them and their fun, since we don't have kids we have no reason to get up and go outside and do something fun. I find I spend a lot of time inside relaxing and being lazy. So today when my friend Jeff texted me to see if I wanted to go watch Kathy's kids play soccer I jumped at the chance! Brandon was at work tonight, so I would have spent the time inside alone, so it was a nice change.

I worked at Roots for just over 7 years, when I left there this year, I took away with me a lot of Roots clothes that I've collected over the years and many good friendships, and Jeff is one of them. He worked with me when I was assistant manager, and filling in as acting manager over the holidays, he was a life saver then. We developed a great friendship, and found we had a common love in coronation street and reality tv shows. Even when Jeff left Roots we've stayed close, and I'm so thankful for him and his friendship. Kathy also got to know Jeff though Roots and we've had many fun wii nights and visits with the Nelson fam, we have a blast when we are all together. If you don't know Jeff you should, he's the best!

Anyway so Jeff and I headed over to Cole Harbor tonight and worked the soccer circuit with Kathy... we started at Jacob's game which was fun. Our friend Akayjah was on the other team, I was excited to see them play each other, but when they split the kids up to play they were on different little fields, but I got to get some shots of both of them playing. Jake scored a goal tonight, and is a great little player. The other team had a little guy who was super pushy, it drove us CRAZY... he scored a goal, put his shirt over his head an ran down the field like an airplane... I think he's been watching the world cup a lot. Jeff won Cooper over tonight with his gadgets- digital camera and black berry- he bravely let Coop use them.

We then headed over to the girls game and watched them both play a great game. I believe the final score was 2-2. We got some play ground time in too, which is always funny, especially when Miss G in involved. Due to the goal scoring and just a great time in general, we all headed over for some ice cream.... I got a waffle cone, double scoop, I know this sounds yucky, but I had one scoop of cotton candy and one scoop of carmel apple crunch... both were delicious! It was a fun night at soccer and a nice time catching up with my good buddy Jeff. Here are some pictures from the night.

On a sad note... I was bummed today. I was supposed to have my first substitute teaching day tomorrow but the school had to cancel. I was so excited because it was at my practicum school, and I would have gotten to see my students, she felt so bad when she called to cancel, and said that everyone was so excited to see me. Much disappointment, but hopefully I can sub there lots in the fall! Also at the gym today I was reading people magazine from a few months ago and found out that Ceasar Milan's dog and sidekick daddy died, he was such a great pit bull, and him and junior made me fall in love with that breed of dog- Daddy had helped a lot of people, so I was sad to hear he'd passed away. I know I'm crazy, but I love that show!

Hope you all had a Happy Tuesday, off to make some cards that need to be done by tomorrow!

Sarah chose the best icecream flavor. I am so in love with bubblegum icecream. Looks like you guys had a fun night. I want to meet the Jeff friend. We haven't been acquainted. Maybe some day I'll come to a soccer game too. I suck.
Thanks for making cards for me!! and I like your new blogging goal. It's a great journal when you get going consistently.. mind you, you probably still write in your planner like a mad woman so your all set in the journal department.
I'll come by and see you tomorrow night to get the cards and bid you farewell.
Seee you then!
Such fun pictures from the night. So glad that you guys were able to make it. Jacob said that he didn't rest tonight because he was staying out until he scored 10 goals. What a kid!!! I can't believe how HUGE Cooper looks in that picture of him and I on the swing......hope you can come hangout again soon!!
