Well, I’m about to wrap up another Monday at work. It will be nice to be back home.
Laurie and I started the day off today feeling like we had just left work on Friday. Tired, exhausted and looking forward to a weekend. Too bad the weekend was all over.
She of course has it a bit rougher because she has to leave a full hour before I do and usually takes a good 30-min to an hour more than me to get ready. So while she’s having to drag herself out of bed at 5 a.m. – I’m still hitting snooze on my alarm clock and probably annoying the heck out of her (even though she won’t admit it — to me).
This weekend was a blur for sure. Friday night we enjoyed dinner at Bennigans and thanks to my membership in their e-mail club or whatever they call it I had a coupon for buy one entree’ get one free. So while we usually stick with the basic menu there we both enjoyed their mix and match meal. I had steak and salmon and Laurie had steak and chicken. Although after several broccoli bites (a must) and her baked potato, Laurie had little room for the main course.
After dinner we came home and watched Premonition with Sandra Bullock. A good movie. A number of twists to keep it interesting and not too predictable.
Then around 10:30 I had to rush off to meet Brian to set-up for the encounter 9 event, which was scheduled for 11:59 p.m. on Friday night. We had a great turnout and a great time. We finished the event around 1:30 a.m. and then a bunch of us made a stop at What-A-Burger for late night breakfast and more fun.
Saturday Laurie cleaned house and I headed to the “Jesus Dome” for a CWF show in Rockwall. We had a HUGE crowd Saturday night with close to 200 people in attendance and I would estimate that 60% of them were first timers. It was a great show and everything seemed to go without a hitch.
Sunday was church in the morning with Laurie having to work in the nursery. Sucked sitting by myself on my birthday – but whatcha gonna do? Luckily I had plenty of friends to sit with.
Laurie had 21 women from the church over Sunday afternoon for a Bible study kick-off so I took the dog Geocaching with me. Not much luck, but I got one done and Presley had a good time running all over the place.
After a full afternoon we headed to Mesquite for dinner with our parents. My mom made some of my favorites, Kings Ranch Casserole and Dump Cake for desert. We had a great time and Kara even stopped by before the evening was over.
After a full day we headed back to Red Oak and crashed not long afterwards wondering where in the world our weekend had run away to.
