[how the weekend really went]

Dinner at Pizzeria Bianco was fabulous! If you live in Phoenix and have yet to go there, it is a must. The food is unbelievable. But get reservations, otherwise you will wait in line for hours. We had a great time chatting about the Lost finale, guns, predicting who our new bishop will be, and anything and everything in between.

After dinner, I kissed Rex good-bye and sent him on his way to St. George. About 10 minutes later, I got a call from him telling me his car had just overheated and we needed to turn around and pick him up. (Big bummer for him and kind of funny for me because he was leaving without us). Long story short, we got the car fixed and his trip was only delayed for about 12 hours.

But the Jetta car troubles didn't end there. We decided he should take my car because I was nervous about his car making it. That was a good call since it quit running on my way home from church on Sunday. At this point, I certainly was not laughing about it anymore. Looks like a new car is in the very near future whether we want it or not.

The girls were great from Mom. Lucy went to her first day of nursery like a champ and Kennedy was a great helper. We watched Emma (because it's never too early to introduce the wonderful world of Jane Austen), popped popcorn and spent lot's of time playing around the house. But we would not have survived without the *R family! We hung out at their house practically all weekend swimming, jumping, and watching the Suns game (broke my heart to see them loose).

And I am pretty sure Rex had a good time doing all his favorite things: golf, movies, and eating good food. Him being able to have a weekend with his brothers was definitely worth all the car troubles and being a single parent all weekend. We all missed him dearly and are so glad he is home!
