It’s Been a While



Time has been speeding by and I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last posted. Oops!

To quickly recap: 

We’ve been busy with work, but we’ve also had fun on our time off. We went one weekend to see the latest Batman movie on an IMAX screen. It was quite an experience! That same weekend we were given free tickets from our friends to go to our first Rangers game! It was a wildcard game so it was all or nothing. Unfortunately they lost and ended their season.

Go Rangers!

Last weekend we went to Celebrate Roanoke. Tons of booths were set up down the main drive in town and there were a lot of family-friendly activities taking place. It was neat, especially for free entertainment. 

Wednesday I got to take our dog Petey out on a doggie play date. I’m a little disappointed that he wasn’t very social with the other dogs. He wasn’t bad, just not very playful. He was exhausted by the time we headed home though.

David teaches Bible class Wednesday nights to the high school students. I’m the assistant in the cradle roll (children under two years old) class on Sunday mornings. I’ve taught a couple of times when the teachers were unavailable.

I’m working with our preacher’s wife to help plan a ladies’ retreat in January for the women of our congregation. I feel like a planning queen with all of the coordinating I do for work and the church.

Sadly we haven’t seen our families in three months, but this past week I got to FaceTime with my mom. It’s not the same as seeing each other in person, but it’s closer than a phone call. She’s not great with technology so I’m impressed we accomplished the video chat.

We have another fairly busy weekend ahead. David’s giving the lesson at the high school devotional Saturday and I’m teaching Bible Class on Sunday.
