Valentine's Weekend

We didn't do too much to celebrate Valentine's Day this year. (We figured after 5 years and getting married, we should be showing our love for each other every day!)

On Friday, I went with Chris to his roster turn-in for the Shawnee Soccer Club. We got there at 5:15 (it was supposed to start at 5:30) and the place was already packed with coaches! We went in and got settled (he is coordinating the U5 and U6 Boys teams) and started accepting rosters. He has this complex spreadsheet and online system that he is using to coordinate everything. We were there until 8:00 and let me tell you, it was a busy night!

After it is all said and done, he has around 300 kids (ages 4-6) that need to be put on teams of 6 or 7. He had quite a few coaches come in with rosters, but he still has several teams he has to create and find coaches for. He has been working on it every night since last week when the registrations were due. It has been very time-consuming, but he really enjoys it! Once he gets all the teams arranged, his job is pretty much done. They have someone else in charge of scheduling and he won't be coaching a team (at least as of now he isn't!).

On Valentine's Day, we just hung around the apartment and Chris worked on his soccer stuff while I tidied up a bit in the apartment. We also had a video chat with my mom while opening our Valentine's gifts from them! We LOVE the video chat function on gmail - it is just too cool! We then went out to celebrate the day with an early dinner at Johnny Corino's at the Legends and went to the movie, The International. It was a good movie, but it was pretty slow and you really had to pay attention!

We're getting excited for our ski trip...we leave on Wednesday! Colorado, here we come!
