A Full Weekend

We had an incredible weekend!! Saturday morning we went to have Marianne cut Tony's hair. Mom called to let us know that Sears was having a really good sale... so we went there and bought Tony two button down dress shirts and myself three shirts that will be good for layering. I praise God for good sales! :)

From there we went to our Bible study at Wilber's BBQ. This was our third meeting and we had 11 people in attendance: Harlan & Blair, Hilton, Roger, Paul, Kevin, Emmanuel & Chrystal, Miriam, Tony & myself. The fellowship was so sweet!! Paul brought forth the message; I'm still looking back on my notes and am amazed out how much Truth is in that one verse: John 1:14. Jesus is the God man! This truth should effect our Worship, Witness, Weakness, Humility... We also recieved the great news that God has led Paul to "a sweetie" named Lisa. This news was just so exciting to our ears!!

We then went to my parents house to visit. Dad & Mom had both been sick with the flu, so we hadn't seen them in a couple weeks. We enjoyed a piece of yummy chocolate cake and talked about lots of different things. We were waiting for Brittany to get home from work too. Beecher (her boyfriend as of Wednesday) was supposed to be picking her up for a date that night. Brittany had went through the trouble of switching her schedule with someone in order to have the night off... and he ended up ditching her. She was heartbroken. So I decided that we could have a sister night instead. I know it's not the same, but I tried to comfort her. We dropped Tony off at Books A Million (where James Taylor joined him to discuss theology), and we went "shopping". We didn't actually buy anything, but it was still fun. We ended the night back at Books A Million. I ordered a Strawberry Smoothie; Brittany wanted a frappe, but they were out of the frappe base. So instead she got the Joe's frozen drink. It was really gross! We think that the machine wasn't mixing it right because it just tasted like air. So the guy was nice enough to let her exchange it for a Strawberry Smoothing like mine. Much better! :) Back at my parents house, Matthew and Anthony were cooking shrimp and chicken on the grill (I know, it's a weird combination, but it was really good!). Then Joey came home, so we were able to talk a while with him. It was a great time of fellowship with my siblings. I pray that we will continue to each be strengthened in the faith and become the best of friends! We didn't get to bed that night until 2am... considering the time change.

Sunday morning we went to church with Paul at Antioch. Then we laughed a LOT at Andy's! It was so much fun. Later we went to Tony's parents house to celebrate Wes' 20th birthday. They talked of how Tony used to always sleep on the couch with his mom sleeping on the other end and how he used to run around with a little flag singing "Born in the USA". I teasingly said that he still does that. Haha. Nathan & Mary came down to look at a travel trailor, so we joined them for dinner at El Koritas. It was a good time of fellowship and we look forward to seeing them again next weekend for the St. Patrick's Day parade. Yay!
