So, I told you earlier that I was going to start writing everyday, but I haven’t done that since Thursday. However, I’m starting tonight and my plan is to get going with my daily blogs. I’ll go ahead and give you a weekend update because this was a great weekend!

Friday night- I was given a surprise birthday by my G2G friends. Thanks to Lil for putting together an amazing night for me. For a woman who doesn’t eat meat, you sure can cook a mean brisket!! Thanks friend! I was able to spend some good time with some great friends. Unfortunately, we saw a HORRIBLE baseball game by the Cardinals. Other than that, great night.

Saturday- Took my girls to see the Toy Story double feature in 3D. GREAT fun. That’s a whole lot of movie though. I was tired after that was over with. After that, I spent the evening at Concord Church singing outside at their Fall Festival. That was a really fun time hanging out with Daniel and Tim and Matt and Christy and the new baby. I got to see Patti Endejan and Chloe. Sorry to Chloe for not bringing the girls. Either way, I had a GREAT time and got to have some amazing grilled corn dipped in butter. BEAUTIFUL!!! The saddest part of the night was when OU lost to stinkin’ Miami. That did NOT make me happy. That kinda brought me down. Oh well…

Sunday- Today was my dad’s 56th birthday. I love him dearly and was amazingly glad to spend the day with him at his church. Then my mom made a delicious dinner for dad’s birthday. That was really fun. This evening I spent at Sherwood Baptist Church listening to my kids in Shelter and Closer sing. They amazed me so much this evening. They all did such a great job! I felt like a proud father listening to them. They have all worked so hard and it showed tonight. But the night wasn’t over…

I got home and my wife had thrown me a dessert party with good friends, the Barnards, Mark (Kristy was out of town), Steph the Yarn Wizard (Jeremiah is in Minnesota GO TWINS!!!), Rob and Holly came as well. What a great time we had. We also came away with an amazingly clean house now. Good stuff. You should go check out Jim’s blog later because he’ll have pictures and stuff from tonight. Good times…good times…

I will wrap this one up by saying thanks to my wife. My wife knows how I have felt about my birthdays over the past few years. She did a great job of making me feel important on my day. Thanks, Eva! I love you so much. Thanks for everything you did to make me feel good about myself. Have a good night and let’s give God our best this week. That’s my plan anyway…
