Our Saturday started off as usual: Upward Cheerleading for Rachel and basketball for Jason. We had a good time watching their teams. I left at halftime of Jason's game to meet some friends for lunch. Carrie, Eileen, Diane, and I had lunch at Abuelo's to celebrate Eileen's birthday. We all met in Utah and when Jason was in kindergarten, we met in a playgroup together quite often. It's so amazing that we all ended up here at the same time. I really enjoyed catching up with them, and hearing all about their families. After lunch, we watched Jason play indoor soccer with his new Celtic team - they lost 3-2. The other team scored with 4 minutes left in the game, and we couldn't get another goal to tie. We are enjoying watching this team, and are excited for the spring soccer season.
After soccer, we came home to get ready for our banquet at church at 5:30. The kids were excited because Ms. Ashley was coming over to babysit. We are blessed to have found a Christian college student who we can trust.
The banquet was awesome. I forgot to take pictures, of course. The senior adults in our church provided the meal which was delicious. After the meal and fellowship, we watched Fireproof. We had seen it many years ago, and we both enjoyed it again. It was so nice to just spend some time with Chris and watch a film about strengthening a marriage. After the movie, they gave us a copy of The Love Dare which Chris and I actually need to read. I hope I can make it a priority and not just keep saying I will get to it.
We were excited to hear about Ashley's new adventure when we got home: she is going on a nursing mission trip in May to Thailand. We need to be covering her in prayer as she seeks funding and safety while there.
