Easy Weekend

So this weekend has been so easy. Three of my four high school girls went on the church retreat at 5:45 pm on Friday night. After dropping them off, I went home, and those that were left (4 kids, me and Jason) grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed to the high school homecoming football game. Saturday morning, me and the girls got up and went to the state fair parade then came home and chilled until the tailgate party we were all invited to by the WT Bible Chair group. We sat at the football game until half time (WT was beating Azusa-Pacific something like 45 to 6) and then came home. The high schooler return home at noon today. Jason went to lunch with a friend of his who was passing through town and the guy felt bad that he was disturbing our day. Jason said "We have four kids at home. One of us could do this in our sleep." So very true. Four kids is nothing anymore.

On the parade note, it was so cool to see people we knew in the parade. All of them were from church. I posted pictures for people who go to our church and read the blog. They don't actually include any of my kids. That and I have a funny story to share about the last photo.

Our friend Andy walking with her softball team.


Our friend Katelyn marching with her band. Not the greatest picture, I know.


Our friend Jessica skating with the Panhandle Christian Education Association.


Our young friend and preacher's son, Shade, riding with his BMX crew.


Our preacher and friend, Brian, riding with the BMX crew.

Okay, so Brian stops and gives all of us a hug and we chat for a minute or so (Their group was one of the last groups so it didn't really matter much). There was a nice couple that was sitting behind us and we had been conversing back and forth about random things. She made a comment about how nice that family seemed and asked how we knew them. I told her that Brian was our preacher. "Uh...really? Like your head pastor or some sort of associate?" I told her that he was our full time pulpit preacher. She asked where and I told her. She seemed slightly apprehensive and it was like she couldn't believe me. She asked again "Like he preaches every Sunday?" I told her yes and she said "Wow." I was very unsure how to read her on what she thought but it was funny.
