Well we had more than a few things in mind... but here's just a summarized version.
- We dropped off the kids at BJ's parents on Sat. morning and had a nice visit with them. I think they were just as excited about their weekend as we were. Which makes it more pleasant to leave them :)
- As we were driving home we passed Legends Casino (which we've done hundreds of times) and it dawned on me we have never been in there before. So feeling like we have no agenda for the day, we stop off to look around. We both put a $10 bill into a slot machine. Mine went crazy. Let's just say in a matter of 3 minutes I was at $75. You should have seen BJ's eyes all huge saying "Cash OUT"! So we left after about 10 minutes with some money in our pockets. I had about $70 and BJ had $.02 from the experience!
- Shopping in the Tri-Cities was more fun than I expected. I now have an ipod Nano with the Nike chip for my shoe. Can't wait to start running with Lance Armstrong!
- We came home late and rented some movies. Watched one that night. (It had Robin Williams in it so we laughed a lot!)
- Woke up for early service on Sun. (I don't know why, because I've always wanted to sleep in and go to 2nd service because it's the kids that motivate us and they weren't there) BJ said he just liked the idea of getting started with the day. Ooooohh Kayyyyy...
- After church we went for a walk together that was farther than our mailbox, Nice.
- We snuggled and watched "The Ultimate Gift". This is a very good movie! It will make you feel good and you will cry too.
- I had a good run with a friend (Kristie, you did awesome!) But I didn't have my chip or Nano up and running yet so Lance didn't come with us.
- Home just in time to shower and head to our TobyFriends union! I'm hoping Shannon sends me some of the pictures from last night. It was soooooo much fun! Toby climbed over the seats, I got to shake his hand and help him climb into our row and he stood on Angela's and my seat to sing. What an experience. As I'm breathing on TobyMac and singing along with him, I suddenly became aware that the spot light was also on me and I don't think I'm singing the right words. So I stopped singing.
- I'm sure BJ and Darrin will never be the same again :)
- We're heading up today to pick up the 3 blessings in my life. I missed them like crazy and wanted to snuggle with them so badly a few times but I know it's good to take opportunities like this for both them and us. Thank you Fred and Grace! You mean so much to our children and to us!
- One last thing. BJ got a call around 3 this morning that the alarm was going off at his school. He figured it was a penguin artwork that fell off the wall so he decided to go check it out by himself. I didn't have a good feeling and tried to stop him but that wasn't happenin'. He felt it was nothing since things fall down and set the alarm off all too often but I just didn't like the feeling I had about the whole thing. So I prayed from the moment he left until he called me. There was actually an intruder! While BJ was checking the doors he saw a man inside and then that man ducked down. Luckily BJ had Moon Security on the phone while doing this and they sent the police. Scary! I'm so glad he didn't surprise the guy and walk into the same place as him. God was listening. The guy was obviously looking for something inparticular because he was searching staff offices and he was on foot. So he didn't want computers or heavy items. He totally destroyed 3 doors too. He must have wanted it really bad!
- I've spent time thanking Jesus for His protection and presence!
- Feeling overwhelmed right now. What a weekend! I didn't touch the laundry or house work and this might be "catch up" day!
