The weekend that was!

It's tough to put a whole 3 day weekend into words but I'll break it down for you into sections. First, Friday night was great other than losing 2 scrimmages that we should have won it was great to be back on the sidelines, back at the team meal and sharing in proclaiming the Gospel to over 70 young men. Tara, Katie and I did the meal serving as will be our position for the rest of the season. We fed them, and listened as Mason Reiger from Anastasia Baptist shared the message and enjoyed that time as we always do.
Then, Saturday we got up and did some little things around the house, then we had Alexa's 8th birthday party. That's right the first official day of College Football and I'm beside a pool full of 8 year old girls. It was well worth it, as Alexa and P.J. had a blast with ALexa's friends. Victoria stayed the night and we watched them play an interactive game of Hanna Montana and squeezed in a little bit of football.
Sunday church went great! Aaron had a new song for us and we had a good crowd considering it was Labor Day weekend. Phil and missy Green joined us again from Ocala and some friends of theirs whose son will be attending Flagler College this semester. We went to Applebees(for the afternoon) for lunch and got out of there around 3:30, the food and fellowship was good, but not that good to spend 3 hours there! yikes!
Then, Monday we did some things in the yard, got some new baby fish for the aquarium as we are starting another pond by the front door for some of my larger comets inside. I'm excited about the new pond, it's nice looking, we just need a few plants around it and we'll be all set. Tara and I sat outside on the front porch during the hurricane alot and it was during those times of not-so-busyness that I realized we needed to do some work in the yard. So in the past week we've chopped down some trees, ripped some bushes out of the ground and moved a fish pond. It's starting to look like we live there, as opposed to the usual look of vacationing there, haha.
So that is pretty much it! The Falcons lost, the Gators won, church was fantastic and Labor Day was somewhat productive and restful at once. Not a bad 3 day weekend for the Gatlins!
Have a great day!
