Woohoo! A week of the single life!
Woohoo...a full week of having the house all to myself!
Um...yeah...woohoo...
A full week of taking care of Kailyn...by myself. A full week of missing Stacey's company. Oh, joy...maybe it's more like "boohoo" than "woohoo."
She's in Houston this week for this pharmacy "training" thingamajig. So, this will be a weird week. I can only hope that I can get a project or two done around the house while she's gone. I also hope that Kailyn doesn't start missing her too much, 'cause she won't understand what's going on. -sigh- Oh, well...
This weekend was a good one. We had a surprise birthday party for Amber at our house Saturday night. Had a good turnout of people, and Amber was effectively surprised. Eli pretty much planned the whole thing...I pretty much cleaned up for the whole thing...and Stacey, well...she was pretty much making money so we could pay for the house to have the whole thing at (LOL).
Church Sunday went very well. Had a FULL band sound with Amber and Eli on vocals, me on keys for several songs, Kyle AND Joel on guitar, and...as always...Heavy E on bass on J-mo on drums. Had our usual fill of techno-glitches, but resolved the mystery "delay" effect we were getting (see J-mo's blog for a relevant rant). But in spite of that...as I heard from several people, there was a great energy in the room Sunday. It was more than the well-rounded sound we had. It was more than Amber and Eli's great vocal work and stage presence (though that was a contributing factor). It was more than the fact that we had our biggest crowd ever. It was more than the fact that Dave's messages right now stem from his greatest passion: reaching people. I think God "visited" us on Sunday morning. Yes, he's always there, but I think he made his presence known in the lives of several people who needed to feel it. All I can say is "wow!"
After church, we came home and I helped Stacey get packed up and ready to leave. She was a bit stressed, but we got it all done, and she left around 3:15. J-mo, Eli, Amber, and Brian came over around 7:00 to "hang" with us. J-mo and I savored some king crab legs while the others watched (LOL...we're not mean...they'd already eaten). Overall, a fun and relaxing way to end the weekend.
I really like the group of friends we have that meets over here (or wherever). I really hope the friendships deepen and we can do more of what we already do: Hang out, support each other, pray for each other (and together), etc., etc. As long as we don't become a "clique," that is.
Anyhoo...peace.
KEY PHRASES: "But, alas..." "Okay, no more redneck stage monitoring." "Kyle's out next week. I know because he blogged about it." (-sigh-, followed by me shaking my head). "I bet when she has gas, it whistles." "Anyone need any eggs?"
Um...yeah...woohoo...
