The Weekend Update...

What a great weekend! I guess the weekend "unofficially" started for us on Thursday night when Johanna and I met up with Jeremy and Kari in Austin for a double date. We hit up some Z Tejas on 6th street, which was very good, even if Jeremy and Kari were a little under the weather the next day...I don't think it had anything to do with the food...Maybe it was ebola or the bird flu. ..Anyway, after having a quite ecclectic meal at Z Tejas, we hit up Starbucks and then headed home. Friday involved driving most of the day to pick up Curry, who moved in with us this weekend. Then late Friday night about midnight Andy and Jaron, two former students of mine who are going to live with us this summer and help us in the youth ministry, came in for the weekend.
Saturday we spent most of the day just messing around and hanging out together. By far, the highlight of the day involved our kite flying...great times. We went into Wal-Mart to get something (I can't even remember now what it was...) and we all came out with some of those cheap plastic kites. We went to the park that is in our subdivision and flew kites for a while. Then we came to the conclusion that we definitely need more kite string and headed back to Wal-Mart. We all got a couple hundred more feet, except for Andy, who bought 400 yards of thick thread and flew his kite over 1200 feet in the air before tying it to a tree and leaving it that high. I'll have to say that I really had forgot how fun and relaxing flying a kite really is.
Today consisted of Sunday School, Church, a big lunch and great fellowship with lots of friends (13 of us) at our house after church, and our student small groups this evening. We talked about where we find our meaning and about materialism. One of the girls in Johanna's group had an amazing practical application of what she learned following the Bible study. I'll blog about it tomorrow because I want to include a picture. Until then, hope your weekend was filled with things are relaxing as flying a kite and people as incredible as the friends I shared mine with.
