Chicken Strips and BYUH

This morning as I was getting breakfast going, Micah proclaimed, "Awwwwh. I don't want to go to school today. (growl). But I want to eat chicken strips!" Needless to say, I laughed out loud and so did Randy. The dilemmas of a 5 y.o. For those of you still scratching your head at that statement, Micah was referring to what was on the menu at the cafeteria for lunch today. He did go to school with some resistance but then conceded to another day of school. He has improved. He does go now on his own. Yay Micah!
After dropping the kids off to school, Randy and I drove down to his work. There was a meeting at BYUH for all the faculty, staff and administration, where they would welcome the new employees. The spouses were invited to attend. So I took advantage of having no kids and joined my husband. I have just enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces from friendships before. I also enjoy just being on the campus. After being and working in other places for Randy and I, you really appreciate how special BYU-Hawaii is. After spending all morning with him, we had lunch. I know, I'm spoiled. I then headed home to pick up the kids from school (they have early release on Wednesdays). We got home, did some homework, then headed back to BYUH to go swim in the pool there. The kids really enjoyed that good old chlorine water. After swim, we headed home to relax. That evening we went over to the elementary school for Kara's open house. She had made a dinosaur diorama. She had done a good job. My little ar-teest!


I took the kids home and headed out the door back to BYUH (it's 7 mins from my house in case you were wondering), for a dinner they were having for the new employees. Let me just say they have some good chefs there. It was great food! It was a busy day but a fun one. It also helped me to see what a blessing it is, not only for Randy, but for the rest of us, for Randy to be working at BYUH.
