Weekends lead to Mondays....

I love weekends.

Everyone is home. We don't have to work. We go to church. Chris and I went to Noblesville on Saturday to pick up his last check from Two Men and a Truck and then we went to hang out with his sister Heather, and two nephews Ethan and Eli. That time was so precious.

At first, the boys wouldn't come near us. They were so shy. Now, they climb all over us and LOVE us. It's wonderful. So, we spent the afternoon/evening with them. We met them at Wal-Mart and shopped for a little while and then we went and hung out with them at their apartment. We taught Ethan and Eli how to play spoons. It was soooo funny when Ethan got it. Of course we went a little easy on him but when passing him the cards he would go, "No. No. No. No. YES!" And then he'd grab a spoon and say, "I win! I win! I win! I win!" It was awesome.

Then it was time for baths and bed. The boys needed haircuts and I volunteered to do it for them. They were excited about that until Chris scared them. You see, the first time I cut his hair and trimmed up the back of his head, I cut over a mole and made him bleed. He told the boys that when I cut his hair the first time I made him bleed. Thanks Uncle Chris! He finally told them that I did a good job and they let me buzz their heads. They sat so well, I was pretty impressed.

We left when it was time for them to go to bed. They go to bed a lot better when we aren't there. :)

Sunday we tried a new church, Friendship Baptist Church in Franklin, Indiana. It was about a half hour drive for us. It was pretty good. They did a little bit of traditional, a little bit of contemporary. I enjoy churches like that. Everyone was super friendly and was "glad that we could join them." I guess the church name really reflects its members! Pastor Fred spoke on Philippians 1. "For me to live is Christ. To die is gain." The main question was, if you aren't ready to die, then are you really ready to live? Is your life an example to others? It was a good sermon. It was FREEZING in the sanctuary though, so that made it a little distracting for me.

I seem to enjoy/understand sermons more when they put the outline on the screen. I guess it helps me understand and comprehend what the preacher is teaching about....it's that visual learning thing. :)

Then comes Monday....Mondays are the worst. It's the beginning of a new week. Now, some people would say that they love Mondays because it gives a new start, a new beginning. For me, it's another day of searching for a job. I DO have an interview tomorrow at a staffing company. Chris thinks that it means that they have a job for me and they just want to make sure I'm not a crazy person. I'm hoping so! My interview is at 9am. We'll see what happens!
