We had a great first week. He had to spend a couple days at work in-processing. But he and I got to go to lunch a few times while the kids were in school. It has been nice to have some alone time with him during the day and then I don't mind sharing him with the kids in the evenings. Mario has been so tired from the time change that we have been going to bed pretty early. A few nights ago, we were sound asleep when the phone rang at 9:30. I answered the phone half-asleep. The caller asked for Mario and I forgot that Mario was back and I told the caller that Mario wasn't home. Then I saw Mario move on the bed and I said, oh wait, he is home. I am sure he was wondering why I didn't know if Mario was home or not. Mario got up to talk to the guy but then had to call him back the next day to repeat the conversation since he didn't remember any of it.
Mario was home in time to watch Eric and Erin's first cross-country meet. They both did so well. Erin has been waiting a long time to join cross-country. She loves running like Mario and I. Eric never seemed to like it but he would run an occasional 5k with us. I was surprised when he told me he wanted to join the team. My first reaction was there must be some cute girls on the team. Erin came in 6th place out of the 3 schools competing. It was amusing to see the little groupie girls that were following Eric around at the meet.
We took Mario up to Phoenix to the hotel that we had spent a couple nights at over the summer. It has a little water-park that is included with the room price. We enjoyed a night at the water-park and then an hour the next morning before we had to pack up to take Eric on a Youth Temple trip. Then in the afternoon, Mario and I were able to attend the Temple. The endowment sessions were backed up so they were looking for couples to do Sealings. That was so nice to sit across the altar from Mario. Then we got to spend a few minutes in the Celestial Room, something we had both looked forward to for 6 months.

What a relief to have Mario home! Sounds like you guys had a great week. Good luck with your surgery!!! I know Mario will take great care of you.
That's so funny about the phone call. I'm glad you all had a good time at the resort and the temple. Congratulations to Erin in her first cross country meet. Congratulations to Eric for running in the cross country race also. What a relief to have Mario home from Afghanistan.
Good luck and lots of faith in your knee surgery. I know Mario will take good care of you, the family and the house.
