Relaxing Weekend

This past weekend Jacob went backpacking with Siler dog while I stayed home. Since I have had such a crazy few weeks at work, all I wanted to do was be lazy and. It was a nice weekend but Monday did quickly come.

Friday night I met Carie at UABC to help with their annual fall festival. I was assigned this big, inflatable slide to manage. There were several teenage boys that just loved this slide and kept jumping and doing somersaults on it. I really didn't have any control over them... After it ended at 8:30 Carie and I went to High Point Coffee where I had a something or other mocha. I'm not a coffee drinker but whatever I had was quite yummy. I think it was mostly sugar. We stayed up talking until 11 (way past old Carie's bedtime) and then I went home to my quiet house. I slept in the guest bedroom because it has a warm down comforter and I was cold without my snuggle friend.

Saturday I woke up at 10 and I am quite proud of that. I needed it. After I woke up and got showered and shaved my hairy legs, I met Carie at her house before heading to Costa Vida. A YUMMY place. We then went shopping and I bought a shirt, blue jeans and two picture frames for my pictures on my shelf (as previously posted). I always get frustrated when I go shopping for jeans. It doesn't happen very often and I only had 2 pair that I wear (one pair was my dad's from the 70's). I realized again that it is hard to find pants for short, stout women like me...so you know what I did?? I bought myself a pair of men's blue jeans and I love them. They fit perfect. After our shopping trip we went to Carie's house to pick up Chris so we could meet Tonya and Jason at the Fox and Hound to watch the Clemson game and grab a bite. The Tigers rocked against Georgia Tech, putting them in the Top 10!! After we ate and watched the game we went to Tonya and Jason's for a little while and just talked. We don't have much time left with them before they move :( .

Sunday I woke up and went to church. After the service Pastor Mike announced that he may be resigning because he feels God calling him to another church in Arkansas. It was shocking and sad news for everybody. We have only been visiting UABC for a little while but we really enjoy his preaching. Plus, after all we just went through at GBC we are ready for some consistency and to "settle" in at church. I have to keep reminding myself that you don't join a church because of the Pastor or Staff but rather for the biblical teaching and the way God is using the church to spread the Gospel. I know if God called Mike to another church, he will have called somebody else to come to UABC. Please pray for that situation. Mike will tell us on Sunday what the decision is.

After church I cleaned the house a bit until Jacob got home with TWO dogs in tow. We then went to Sam's to do our monthly grocery shopping. We returned home and watched the Amazing Race and did some other things around the house.

In the next post I'll tell you about the new (temporary) dog we have, the strange owl we found in the backyard and about the Chilympics that were held yesterday at work. Until then, I have to return to work...lunch is over.
