How did this happen?! How did Clayton sucker me like this? How did he make me... gulp.. LIKE CHESS?! Who just said that? Okay, so the second time around learning to play chess has been a lot better than the first. I did beat him today, but only b/c he helped me! lol Otherwise I'd have lost, again! I think my determination to beat him has taken over.. I HAVE to beat him! So, I think this time, he'll be sick of playing before I am. I'm getting a little better... I just plain stink at the thinking ahead a few moves part.. meanwhile his "detective" brain is all over that. So true for us as a couple.. I think in the right now, he's always thinking a few moves ahead! Guess at least one of us is always thinking then! :)
We had a great morning today. Clayton called one of the new troopers and his wife (that live here in town) and asked if they wanted to meet us at the park to play. (they have a 1yr old little boy named Joseph) They said sure, but Joseph was with his grandparents... so just the two of them met up with us. It was so much fun! They are a great couple and I really want to hang out with them more. He's just out of troop school and super eager to work. Clayton is still happy and excited about work so I'm sure the two of them will hit it off great! The woman is a stay at home mom too, and I invited her to join our playgroup Tuesday morning. I really hope she comes! She seemed excited about it! So, we all might have a new friend soon!
Clayton is napping right now getting ready for his long weekend. He's off to work at 5pm tonight and I don't expect him back home until 4 or 5am tomorrow. Pray for his safety and my ability to sleep!
Guess where we're going on the 26th! THE CIRCUS! Yippie! The Ringling Brothers are going to be at Altel then and we took madison when she was 3 and are so excited to go back! It's such a great show! They say "It's the Greatest Show on Earth!" ;)

I also invited someone new-Jenny S. to the playgroup.Although I unfortunately will not be able to come this Tuesday.I have always wanted to learn to play chess....:)
So your not starving so that you can go to Nickelback. Circus or Nickelback, I don't see a problem with choosing! Hope you are enjoying chess...I think it a tad boring. Mark loves to play. We could get the kids together, we can talk, and they can chess it! Anyone ready?
of course we're ready! :) If you guys are up for a weeknight get together.. Clayton probably won't have weekends off again for months. :P But we're always up for company when he's home!
WHAT????? I can't believe you joined the other side! You LIKE chess now? I feel so betrayed!
lol.. maybe you and I could play LeeAnn.. it would for SURE be more fun with me as your opponent than with Tay! ;)
Anytime I don't work I'm there. This week is going to be very bad though. I have to take my Boards on Tuesday and then I work Wed, Thur, Fri. Yuckie. We'll plan a good time!
