Saturday morning started with Jason and I working in our back yard. When we bought the house, the backyard had a Dog Run along the back part of the fence. Here is a picture from the Realtor listing...
(We sold the playscape shortly after we moved in.)I wanted to keep it because it was very well built and I thought our dogs might use it. Well... we've never used it at all!! So, after some discussion, we decided to dismantle it and make use of that valuable lawn space. Jason had worked on taking it part over the last couple of weeks. Then on Saturday, I got out there and helped him clear the land and fill the post holes. It looks great!!!
Even though it was only a few feet deep, it makes our back yard look much bigger!
Then Saturday evening, I went to see a play with my friend Kasi. From now on, I am going to call her "NMB Kasi". Why? Well, because even though I have known her for almost 3 years, I have never managed to get a single picture with her. So, I promise she is Not Make Believe... :o) She exists... in fact she is one of my very best friends and I adore her to pieces. I am sure there will be an opportunity to get a picture together when I join NMB Kasi, her mother and sister on a Girl's Trip to Disneyworld this fall!!! More on that in future posts...So, NMB Kasi and I went to a small community theater in Leander called the "Way Off Broadway Community Players". They did a production of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)".
It was a hilarious play done by only 3 actors. They comically pack all of Shakespeare's tragedies, romances and other plays into one! It was really funny and done pretty well for a small production company. It was a small and intimate theater that held MAYBE 50 people. NMB Kasi and I whooped and hollered as the actor carried out the play and had a lot of interaction with the audience! If you ever see that this play is showing somewhere, I highly recommend it.While I was at the play, Jason was hanging out at home. My Dad was coming through town to do a Summer Camp in Boerne. He stayed with us Saturday night. It was late when I got home so we didn't visit a lot. The next morning before church, all three of us went to breakfast and had some good time to catch up then.
Sunday was a big day for me! I was officially recognized as a member of my new church. I have been attending Hill Country Bible Church Leander since Easter and have REALLY enjoyed it!! During the service, they brought the new members up to be announced and they gave us a cool rock.
Don't let the size deceive you... that sucker is heavy! It is solid granite! I put a soda can next to it so you get an idea of the true size.
Jason and my Dad attended the service as well, so it was nice to have them there for that. After the service, I said my goodbyes to my Dad and Jason headed home. The second phase of my day had just begun... no one is going to believe this.... I am now a Sunday School teacher!!!That's right, last Sunday marked the beginning of a one year commitment I have made to teach 3rd Grade Sunday School! I haven't done anything like this since VBS during my high school years! I am paired up with another teacher that has been doing this same age group for 2 years, so that was a big help. It went REALLY well!! There are a couple of kids that are a handful, but we had fun anyway. We have Small Group time with just our age group and then we go to a Children's Worship Service. We get to sing and dance and be silly with the kids. Then we return for the lesson and projects. It was great!
So, that was my weekend!! This week marks the last full week for Jason to be in his current position at work. For those that don't know... the short story is that his company laid off a bunch of people as well as announced some branch closures. The branch he works at wasn't closed, but his position was eliminated. They offered him another position within the company which he took. It is actually what he was doing before his current position, so the job duties won't be unfamiliar to him but the hours will be... he is on 2nd shift. Yuck. So, we are looking at the positive of the situation and focusing on that (and there ARE a lot of positives). It will take some adjustments, but we will make it work!
It will be a busy June... I am going to two baby showers, celebrating my birthday, my Dad visits again and summer is our busiest time at work!
