What a weekend!

Friday, I got off work and rushed up to Lifeway in Jacksonville to take care of some things and pick up a few presents my dad had ordered. I got home, Tara and I went to the hospital to see Patty her co-worker and see how she was. We were able to chat with her for just a few minutes when she got out of the surgery and things seemed to go well. We then rushed to Schooners for CHristmas dinner with Tara's parents, went home and opened gifts and did Christmas with them.
Saturday I was up and running before 7 as usual. I went to the church and started typing on some of the power points, got the bulletins printed out and worked on the children's bulletins. I had computer issues at home, printer issues at work so what I normally have done by Wednesday was now down to Saturday morning. I fought a good fight with 3 different computers Saturday between the laptop, the church computer and my office computer. So by noon I was finally done with the bulletins. I also put together our new printer, copier at the church so that we could start using it.
Then I started working on the vows, and wedding ceremony for the wedding I was performing on Sunday, went to the rehearsal at3pm and got things straight there.
Went home and relaxed a little for the day to come.
Sunday was busy, but it was a blast. My dad wasn't feeling good so I got up and got to the churhc early. Got things put together and then went and taught his Sunday School class. After that I rushed over to get ready for the worship service and stood at the back shaking hands and greeting along with the family. Then, teh service started and all went pretty well except for my typos on the power point(last minute never works out for me). Then, after the service we saw people off and rushed over to the Elks Lodge for the ARC's Christmas party. This was a blast, we waited on them, brought them their drinks, food and dessert. Then we walked them up one table at a time to see Santa Claus and get their gifts. The loved the gifts, some got watches, some shirts and hats, some dvd movies and a few even got little remote control cars. Then the chant of shake your booty came out and the dj turned up the music and we danced, danced, danced with them. Jordon, KMarv, Hannah Marvin and even ms. Jeannie danced and had a blast. What a blessing it was to see Christmas enjoyed through their eyes.
Then I rushed back to the church for the wedding which I think went really well. Everyone enjoyed it and it seemed to be a blessing to all. Then we closed up, went home and watched some television with Alexa.
So another busy weekend down and a relaxing 2 days at the office ahead for me.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
