This Week

Since Kira hardly ever writes on here, I guess I will. This week we had Thanksgiving. We invited some friends over and had it with them and then played some card games and watched football. We watched a couple movies this week which we usually do almost every week. Neither of them were that great. We watched "Outsourced" where someone's job was outsourced to India and he had to go there and train his replacement, and then the job is outsourced again to China, so the Indian people lose their jobs. It seemed like a very low budget film. We also watched the new X-Files movie. I like that last X-Files movie better. This film wasn't much different than the psychic shows that you can watch anytime on Tru-TV.

We also went to our last football game at Alabama, the Iron-Bowl between Alabama and Auburn. We tried to sell our tickets, but nobody bought them in time to convert them. Alabama set up a ridiculous system where students have to convert their tickets for $50 bucks in order to sell them and let someone else use them. The last day to convert this last week was on Wednesday. We got calls and contacts for the tickets after 5:00pm on Wednesday, which was too late, even though the game was still three days away.

The game was pretty cool though, so we are glad we ended up going. We've been to a bunch of Alabama games, but this one was one of the most intense for the crowd, because of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. I thought I was going to lose some of my hearing, it was so loud in the stadium. There were a lot of Auburn fans there. Alabama hadn't won a game against Auburn in six years and this year Alabama was number 1 in the nation. We went home during the third quarter and watched the rest on TV, because Kira has been a little sick the last few days.

We had to do the primary program at church today. The theme of the month is being grateful to be a child of God. We played a game where we put a number on the back of each of the kids. The kids were supposed to try to get close to the kids with the highest numbers on their backs and stay away from the kids with the lowest numbers on their backs. We then read the book "You are Special" by Max Lucado, where wooden Wemmicks spend all of their time putting stars on Wemmicks that look good and do good or impressive things, and putting gray dots on Wemmicks that are unattractive or mess up and do dumb things. The theme was the theme of the game and the book that as children of God He loves us no matter what we look like or what mistakes we make or no matter what others say just because He is our father and he created us. I thought it went pretty well.
