The Impromptu Weekend

With all that is going on, we actually had nothing planned this weekend. The only things we had on the agenda were; remove the root balls (more on that later) and Church/Church meeting on Sunday. However, our weekend was as busy as ever, and a ton of fun!

Friday was a the first day of summer and the weather finally cooperated for us. We actually hit the 80 degree mark. So, while in line for the water taxi to come home Steph calls to tell me that we are heading to Arbor Heights pool with the Doerrs. The Doerrs became members last year and they have asked us to go a few time and we really enjoy it...Thanks Doerrs! We grabbed some sandwiches, chips, "beverages" and enjoyed the 1st night of summer at the pool.

Saturday was our day to get some yard work done. We bought an auction item last year where a family from SLHS will come and re-do an area of your yard/garden. We decided to use this opportunity to take out the 3 big Rhodies. We started on this a few weeks ago by hacking off all the branches....as Steph said, our neighbors were probably laughing at us with our "prune" job. It was my take to pull out the remaining root balls. Easy enough...no big deal...yeah right! 2 hours later I finally got them pulled out. The girls, even Josie, were right there helping. So, after all that we went in search of some nutrition and headed to Jamba Juice. After that, off to trader joes. On the way home we decided to stop in at the Meyer's house to drop off the Video from Lisa's 40th b-day. A short visit, turned into a long visit, and dinner with the Meyers. We had a great time talking about all kinds of things (mainly the Church meeting the next day.)

Sunday we rolled out of bed at 9am...Kenzie actually woke us up....and we headed to 10:30 church. With the construction on the Church/School, church is actually at SLHS. After the service, was the annual congregational meeting to approve budget, etc. As some of you may know, I recently took on the role of Chairman of the School Board at Hope, so I was preparing to talk on a couple topics in front of everyone. I'll admit I was a bit nervous given it was my first meeting, and there were some hot topics to cover. In the end it all worked out great...I didnt fall on my face in front of everyone and we left with the Sun out. From there, on a whim we decided to grab Spuds and head over to the Doerr's house. We hung out, had a couple "beverages" and chatted about the weekend of last minute get together.

It was a great weekend.
