Our Weekend...






This past Thursday John went in for hernia surgery. I guess the only way to stop him from running around is to put him under the knife, because he is finally relaxing. Poor thing, apparently it really hurt at first. Now that it's been four days, he's up and "slowly walking" around. It's so hard for him to sit still, but he's trying.

Friday night was Johnny's final high school football game. If you recall, he dislocated his shoulder mid-September, so he's been recuperating since then, and hasn't played in any games. That is, until last week. So....he got to play in two games the entire season of his senior year in high school. How sad is that?! He did REALLY well Friday night and he personally thought that he played better than he ever had. Unfortunately, we lost 26-27, but it was a good game. It was also Senior night, so the families of the seniors walked out on to the field and we were recognized with our son as they presented him with a small plaque. It was a very special night. For those who are wondering, Johnny didn't always wear #50, but it was a last minute change the coach made and he was just happy to play, it didn't really matter what number was on his chest.
The final thing that happened this weekend was that we had some banking to take care of. Apparently last week somebody obtained our ATM/Debit card information and made a purchase in Vista, California at a Chevron station in the amount of $220.90. Thank goodness it wasn't for more, but at least we caught it in time and took care of it. Chase listened to our situation and refunded our total amount, which was fantastic. The reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to watch out. I THOUGHT we were careful, but apparently you can't be too careful these days. We tend to think that either a waiter/waitress took down our information (out of eyesight) or somebody installed a "skimmer" at a gas station and when we swiped our card at the pump, all the information was taken. From now on, we will walk inside to pay at the gas station, and try to always carry cash to pay in a restaurant. Be safe!!
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie

  2. Oh Genie, good heavens you have had so much going on. I'm sorry about Johnny, Nate had hernia surgery, it is no fun. How is he doing? I hope he is getting up and around. It really is tough on them. I am sorry you got your account hacked into, that stinks and I know how stressful it is.. it is a good reminder for us all to be extra careful, especially with the holidays coming up. I'm glad Johnny got to play a little this season. Love you and miss you and boy did I have some catching up to do!

  3. What a great photo to remember a special night. You must be so proud of Johnnie.
    Our credit card got to go to Italy and buy art last year. Unfortunately Scott and I didn't get to join it. We keep very close tabs these days on our number too. Thanks for the reminder. Love you and the tribe.
