Happy May Day!
Bill left at 6:00am to take a group from the middle school to a Get Real conference in Pueblo. I had a volleyball match at 8:00am and Jamie had soccer games at 9:00 and 10:00. Found out this morning that they were also supposed to take soccer team photos at 9:40...wow, what a morning!! Turns out the photographer didn't see our 9:00 game on the schedule...d'oh!
My volleyball team won, so we play again next Tuesday. This is the end of season tournament so it's just one game at a time. So far, so good.
Jamie's team won their first soccer game and he scored 3 goals. They lost the second game and Jamie scored 1 goal, with team/individual photos in between. He was so tired afterward!!
I'm having so much fun with my new camera! Today I played with the continuous shooting mode...check out the 5 shot sequence of Jamie scoring one of his goals.

After soccer, Jamie & I headed to Pueblo, where we picked Bill up and then went on to Colorado Springs. We needed a little time away from Alamosa and I needed to do a little shopping that I couldn't do in Alamosa. A few weeks ago I signed Bill up on the Red Robin mailing list and he got a coupon for a free burger for his birthday, so we also needed to do some birthday celebrating!One thing I was shopping for is a dress to wear to Scott & Corrie's wedding. I figured that I'd have to go to dozens of stores to find a dress I liked that fits the wedding color scheme and that was in my price range. We got to Pueblo about an hour before Bill's conference was scheduled to finish so, our first stop was Kohl's. Bah! I didn't see anything there I liked...period! Then we went to Ross and, viola...a green & pink dress, in my size, that I liked, for less than $20!! SCORE!!
Once in Colorado Springs, we checked into our sweet hotel room at the Hyatt Summerfield Suites...a cool $38 deal I got on Priceline.com. I LOVE Priceline!! The room has a full kitchen, a separate sleeping area, a living room with sofa sleeper and they have a free full breakfast buffet in the morning! Sometimes I think it would be so nice to live so simply...no stuff, no clutter. So, I did the math...$38 per night for 30 days (1 month) is $1140. Factor in the free breakfast (and free evening social hour Mon - Thurs) and daily maid service and I think it would totally be cheaper than our house payment, utilities and groceries. Sounds nice but, I'd probably miss my stuff after a while! (Not the clutter, though!)
We thought about going to a movie but couldn't agree on one so, we just headed to Red Robin for Bill's birthday dinner. He got his free birthday burger (a salmon burger!) and an ice cream sundae, plus an enthusiastic round of "Happy Birthday" sung by the Red Robin staff.
Everyone else is already asleep and I'm not far from it myself...what a crazy, busy, albeit FUN, day! Tomorrow we are meeting up with Michelle & Spencer Hamilton for some bowling. It'll be interesting to see Jamie & Spencer interact...they were bestest buds from birth (Jamie is 9 days older) until Spencer moved away three years ago. I think they've seen each other once since then. Jamie is really excited!
