Friends

I think I had a great weekend. Nothing fancy, just nice and relaxing!

On Friday, we had a few people over for dinner (MOO BURGERS) and games. There was an intense Dance Dance Revolution challenge going on and even though there was not really one dominant champion, we all felt like winners. Old age, however, caused us to stop and play something a little less active. We ended up pulling out Imagineiff. . . This game is hilarious and works really well for large groups. Basically, you entertain questions like, "Imagine if Rebecca was a candy. Which would she be? 1) M&M 2) chocolate liqueur 3) jelly bean. (There were actually 6 different options but I can't remember all of them.) In this round, I was affectionately voted a jelly bean. I am still having a little trouble with that one. :) Even though I definitely came in last place, I really had fun and stayed up way past my bedtime which was nice for a change. I am excited that we are finally making friends. . .

Saturday was so relaxing. Brandon left to play football at seven-thirty and I don't remember this, but he said I put on a big pout when he kissed me good-bye. After he returned from football, we decided it was a good day for Cracker Barrel. I have a weird relationship with Cracker Barrel. I always think it is going to be really good, but I am often disappointed. Brandon says it is because I am picky. I tend to disagree.

After lunch, we headed to the furniture stores once again, this time to Weekends Only, a furniture store that is only open Friday through Sunday. The prices were much more reasonable there than in West County and we even found one that we like all right! Hopefully, it will be moved to our bedroom on Friday. (We have to borrow a truck). I even spent a good part of the afternoon yesterday cleaning for its arrival. I can't wait to put all my clothes away!

Saturday night, Brandon made dinner, (yay!) and we opened Christmas presents from my mom. (We are all just a little behind the times :)).

I have been trying to read Crime and Punishment, one in a long line of books that Brandon has recommended because I "should read more than just fluff." I will let you know how it goes, but no promises. The first chapter was not so bad, however, that is only one chapter out of a billion and the print is about the size of a pin head.

Last night we had a meeting about Kid's Quest (the program where I am going to be children's choir director) and I am pretty psyched. The two pastors' wives (Sara and Laurabeth) are going to teach and I will be the music lady. I am also glad to get to know Sara and Laurabeth because they are experienced pastors' wives and older and wiser than me. Kid's Quest starts next week, yikes!

In other news, despite my shady diagnosis, I am starting to feel better. I have one more day left of my prescription and hopefully it will give it one final kick and it will be out of my body!
