Hi Mom,

We had a fun and busy week. The Taylor Swift concert on Tuesday night was the most fun. We ate dinner at Noodles & Company on the way down town. The concert started at 7pm at the Pepsi Center. There was a warmup band that we missed. Then Kelly Pickler came on around 7:45 and sang for about 45 minutes. She was cute.

Taylor started at 8:30pm and played for almost two hours. She was a great performer and entertainer. The girls had a blast. It was loud but I didn't think it was too loud. There were probably around 16,000 people there (mostly screaming 13 year olds). It was a late night. I think we all fell in bed around midnight. Needless to say it was a tough start on Thursday morning.

The weather has been gorgeous this weekend. I got out for a 10 mile run on Saturday and a 40 mile bile ride today. Watched lots of Masters golf. Happy to see Phil win again. Seemed pretty emotional after the year with his wife and mom.

I also played on the worship team at church this morning. That's always a lot of fun. Aaron Britton, our worship pastor, is a great song writer. We sang 3 Aaron Britton originals and 2 Chris Tomlin songs this morning.

We've also watched two movies this weekend. New Moon the second in the Twilight saga. And Meet The Morgans. Both were pretty good.

Theresa has been furiously washing and working on the women's retreat all weekend. The new washing machine was delivered on Thursday. Needless to say we had a little bit of a laundry backlog. The women's retreat is next weekend. Theresa and Franci are headed up Thursday morning. So far I think they have 59 women. Pretty close to their 75 quota. They might actually sign up a few more stragglers this coming week.

Megan is doing intramural volleyball at school right now. They have over 70 girls playing and have divided up into 10 teams. There is a big tournament on Tuesday to wrap things up.

We did get all of the boxes you shipped. I think they came on Wednesday. We haven't even had time to open them up yet but we will. I know it's hard getting rid of stuff :-(

I'm reading a great book right now called "Born to Run" by Chris McDougall. It's fantastic. About a running tribe called the Tarahumara in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. I remembered you took a train trip through that part of Mexico.

Well time for bed. Gotta be rested to start it all over again tomorrow.

luv u,

Jeff
