great weekend

Well work is busy, but we had a great weekend.

Friday Tyler and I completed a very large project and it looks awesome. After work I went out with some folks from One Tribe who we've been working with on the large project.

Friday night Nancy and I had Missy (college student and leader in the youth group) come over and watch our kids so we could go out with some friends. We walked around old town for the first Friday gallery walk. I ran into a CoCoA member - Don Vogl - at Centennial Gallery. There is a show right now which features art from several of our members - much of which was created in the class that I ran last year. After the Gallery walk we had a late dinner and dessert with 2 other couples, which was great for us. I think we stayed out past 11 - something that we haven't done in a long time.

Saturday, Nancy went to Peak for a women's craft day - it may have been called a craft retreat. At any rate, she scrapbooked for a few hours with some other women, and I took the kids to Disney on Ice - Princess Classics thanks to some free tickets from Eric. Emma and Corben really enjoyed it. I held Abby up for part of it and she watched the skaters and made all sorts of happy baby noises. It was nice because we were in a private box suite so I could take her back and hold her so she could sleep once she got tired.

In order to adequately balance our kids after this event, I'm going to have to take them to a monster truck rally or hunting now. They also can't eat any sugar for a month.

Saturday night we hosted the college small group, which went well as usual. It's great to see the students opening up and learning to care for each other and be vulnerable with each other.

This morning was church, where I played my new guitar for worship again. We have several different sound guys, and today's was the "no guitar" sound guy, which is pretty frustrating. I suspect that we will be making some changes in worship style this summer, that I am looking forward to. I met a new family at church - there were 4 high school boys in the group, and I was able to talk with them before they left. We'll see if they come back or not.

After church we had two families over. There were 6 adults and 8 kids, so the kids were able to entertain themselves while the adults sat and talked. It was good to spend some time with our friends.
