Sunday Already?!?

I can't believe its Sunday night already. Where did the weekend go??

Yesterday morning we all headed out to the Christian bookstore in our city because it was having a going-out-of-business sale - 25% off everything. Ian bought some resources to use with the Jr High kids, the children each got new bibles and I picked up a book as well. It's called Conflict Free Living, by Joyce Meyer.

Oh look... there it is. ;-)



I'm looking forward to reading it.

My neighbours had a huge party for their daughter's first birthday yesterday afternoon. Our children were invited and they asked Ian to do a magic show for them. They were expecting over 20 children! Jordan and I headed over to my mom's for the afternoon to escape the noise.

When we came home there were people everywhere! I dropped Jordan off with Ian and headed to the pharmacy to get some Tempra because Jordan had developed a fever and had been throwing up. On my way home I stopped for some take-out for dinner. I almost died when they handed me this receipt. **click on the picture for a larger version**



Take a look at the tip they entered.

I don't think so!

The party next door was still going on in full force and every visitor parking spot was taken and their guests had started parking on the street. Well..except for this dude.



Yes...this car is parked on the lawn. My girlfriend Jenn didn't think I would have the nerve to take this picture while there were people around, nor did she think I would post it on my blog. When I asked her what was in it for me she said she'd buy me a Frosty.



See you on Thursday, Jenn. Bring your wallet. ;-)

This morning I attended the Protection Policy Seminar at the church, and once I have my police check done I will be good to go to work with the girls group. I am getting more and more excited every day. I will be meeting with the other two leaders and the Associate Pastor on Thurday morning to go over the agenda for the year, etc.

Have I mentioned how excited I am about this?

This afternoon the children were at another birthday party for a friend of theirs on our street. Needless to say, my party animals are partied O-U-T.

Looks like another busy week ahead. My new calendar is keeping me very organized and on track.

That's about it... I'm hoping for an early night tonight.

  3. Wow! That was some tip - for takeout even, like they really had to "do" anything to earn that one. LOL

    Sounds like some wild party going on next door. Is that YOUR yard or the neighbors yard? Sheesh....park down the street or something....LOL

  4. Awe... I am excited for you to work with the girls.

    Lord I pray for Kate... would You fill her with Your love and grace for these girls? Would You use her in great ways in their lives? Would You bless her and fill her cup to overflowing as she steps out in this way to serve You?

    Thank You Lord for calling us, for using us and giving us the privilege to serve You, our King. Amen!
