Big Weekend...

In case you didn't realize it, this is a VERY big weekend. It is a weekend full of being thankful, celebration, and either being really happy or really ticked off.

Thursday is Thanksgiving - I'm hoping you've figured that out already. This year we are having two T-Day dinners. One with Beth's family on Wednesday and mine on Thursday.

Friday, well, it's a means to Saturday - but we don't have to work. :) That's always kinda nice.

Now Saturday, this is where the celebration comes in. Saturday is Beth and my 6th Anniversary. Yep, six wonderful years of marriage. After six years, we've never had an argument. Never disagreed on anything. And have never been anything but perfectly happy every day! While that might be a bit of stretch, it's still fairly true. We've had six great years of marriage and we've enjoyed them very much. We have our disagreements, etc, but we love being married to each other. So that is cause for much celebration.

Now, the reason I'll either be elated or ticked, is because Saturday also happens to be the 100th Apple Cup - the annual rivalry football game between God's team, Washington State University, and the symbol of all that is bad, the University of Washington. And kids, I'm sorry, but good does not always triumph over evil. In fact, good has lost many more times than it has won. Yet, we try again on Saturday to prove that there is still good in the world. We will have plenty of Crimson in our house on Saturday as we cheer on our Cougars. However, it looks like we'll have some purple in our house as well because we'll have some UW friends over. Remember, Jesus hung out with the sinners too. But with all the pent up frustration through the year of living in Seattle near the UW as a Cougar fan the emotions run high - and a WSU loss it a tough pill to swallow for me.

So, it is a big weekend here at the Soderlund home. It has already started and we're looking forward to the rest of it. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Beth, Happy Anniversary. And to everyone else... Go Cougs!
