Catch-up post #5

I went to Yakima!  Ben's high school varsity team made it to the state playoffs so Lonnie, Ben and I drove a couple of hours east to watch them play.  Cindy recently started a new job so she didn't get to go with us so it was just me and the boys (scary, I know.)

There was a lot of snow on the pass but the roads were clear.

  

Ben stayed awake exactly 17 minutes of the car ride, I think.

We went to Miner's and Ben did his best to put away a double Miner's burger.

Lindbergh won their first game (yay!) and we had to wait until 9 PM the next night for their next game.  We went shopping to kill some time and while we were at the mall, someone stole my iPad and jewelry out of the car.  I was super sad.  Beyond sad.  Thankfully, I either left my car unlocked or they had some other way to open it without breaking any glass or anything.  It would have been a huge pain to have to get that fixed (gotta look at the bright side.)  I'm also thankful we didn't have anything else of value go missing and I'm especially grateful I was wearing my Tiffany key necklace so it wasn't in the bag of  jewelry that was taken. 

But seriously! Why do people have to be such jerks???  Sheesh.  Get a dang job and buy your own stuff and quit stealing from people!

We had gotten to the stadium to watch one of the other games when I realized my stuff was gone and I made the boys go inside so I could cry alone.  They got tired of waiting for me so they came back to the car, told me jokes to make me smile and then took me to Sonic.  Now, if you remember, I'm off DC so I got a yummy raspberry limeade to help ease my pain.  So dang good.

Ah...Sonic. 

The basketball team lost their next two games so they ended up taking 5th in state, which is awesome.  Even though I lost three pairs of earrings, two necklaces and, sigh, my iPad, I really did have a great time. And yes, I've ordered the new iPad but that's another post for another day.
