First Job/Painting pains

Jordan doesn’t get to ever sleep in on Saturdays anymore since he got his first job refereeing Jr. Jazz basketball. He has to ref 5 games from 8am-1pm every week. He gets $12.00 for each game so it’s a great job for him right now. Once in a while he gets an extra shift during the week. It’s so nice that we don’t have to get up early to take him anymore since he can drive himself! Brendan and I got up on Saturday and realized that we had nothing on our calendar for the day so we decided to paint the living room. We have had the paint for over a month, but Brendan’s hands had never quite recovered enough from painting the family room and kitchen. He said that he was finally up to it. We opened up the paint and put a couple of strokes on the wall and cringed. It was a horrible bright gold color that looked nothing like the swatch. So we ran out to the paint store and spent an hour finding just the right color. We were in the middle of painting when Ed called to see if we wanted to join their family and go see a movie. We couldn’t stop painting then, but I drove Jake and Allison to the theater so they could have fun with them. We discovered that we needed more paint about a half hour AFTER the paint store closed, so we were totally bummed about leaving our living room half painted and a disaster until Monday. That night we went to Brandon Sehestedt’s Eagle Court of Honor. Kerri is amazing and she put together a great ceremony.
