As I was sitting at McKay's orchestra concert, Elisa comes up to me and Tiffany O. "Hey let's go to the valley, Fry's is having a great sale until 11:00 P.M.." "Right now" I said, "Well after the concert." Ross just shook his head and couldn't believe that we would even think of this. It is 7:00 P.M. at this time. Usually concerts last an hour. So we are thinking we will be out of Heber at 8:00 and be to Fountain Hills at 10:00 (Elisa is driving). Well the concert lasted FOREVER!!!! It was really good but toooo long. I keep forgetting that the H.S. went to regionals and all the other stuff that they do. So he had to give out awards for that and the Jr. High also. Anyway, I get home a little after 8:00 after McKay played and Rick is not home yet. I am really nervous about going. Rick left his cell phone home and I had no idea if he was still at work or what. I looked at my cell phone and there was a missed call, it was Rick's boss he had worked over and was almost home. So whew now I think it's o.k. to go. He walks in and I have a coat on, my purse and YES my handy coupon book. He just starts laughing. "What in the world are you doing" As my daughter proceeds to say "Ask the crazy lady what she is doing? The crazy lady is going to the valley with the other crazy ladies."
Elisa finally picks me up and Ross met us at the road with Tiffany and we are off to Fry's at 8:40 P.M. The one Fry's we were going to closed at 11:00 so we decided to find another one that was farther down Shea Blvd. Keep in mind the dang sale ended at 11:00. We entered the store at about 10:40 or so. So we are running through the store. We ask a lady "Does this sale end at 11:00" Nope I change the sale items and I will let you shop. YEAH!!!!! Oh and by the way Elisa and Tiffany's crazy cousin Leah met us there. We all had our coupons handy and rushed through the store. I ended up beating those 2 and saved more money. HA HA HA just kidding girls. The cashiers were laughing at us that we drove all this way too.
Now off to IHOP. What the heck it's closed at midnight. So now off to Denny's for breakfast. We laughed and laughed at what we had done and that Tiffany got to enjoy her meal without all the boys wanting to eat off of her plate. Also, our waitress was so dang dingy she was fun though. Headed home and we thought the chips and caprisuns were going to blow from the altitude. Thank goodness they didn't. Oh by the way I walked in my door at 3:15 A.M. Thank you again Elisa, Tiffany and Leah for an adventureous evening.
Here is McKay at his concert:

McKay does such a good job on the chello. He says that he is going to quit when he get's into HS. Guess what I'm still the mom and you'r not quitting. Keep it up.
