Weekend Plans

It's been a busy week since I returned from New Jersey last Friday. Those business trips really wear me out. The meetings that we participate can be pretty intense and they are certainly LONG. Not to mention that I wonder what my family is up to and I what they are doing. I don't really worry about them while I'm away because I know Roy is taking good care of them.

Anywho, I guess I should make this post relevant to the title.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Roy's company gives the employees two weekends to pick from to get free Arkansas Naturals baseball tickets (the minor league b-ball team in NWA) and we're going tonight. It's the first time for me, Roy, Benjamin and Eli. Payton has been a couple of times with Roy's mom, dad and sister. I can't wait. I think baseball games are fun, and Eli has been obsessed with baseball this summer. I think he'll be exicted about being at the game and there are other things going on there too. There is a big playground and they do a big fireworks display every Friday night. Not to mention the baseball stadium food :)

Saturday we don't have a lot planned. I'm surprising Payton with a trip to the movies to see Ramona and Beezus. I LOVED reading those books when I was her age and she was sooo excited to see that a movie was coming out. Usually Benjamin accompanies us to the movies but I think tomorrow it will just be me and Payton along with our friends Claire (Payton's friend) and Joy (Claire's mom and my friend). Then Claire's dad/Joy's husband Craig and the rest of my family will probably meet up at one of our houses for a cook-out. The Konings are great people and Roy and I have really grown close to them and are thankful for their friendship.

Sunday is church day! Yay!! I love our church. I didn't get to go last week as Eli was sick with fever and an upset belly. After church is over, Benjamin has a birthday party in Springdale for a friend at his school. And Sunday night will be reserved for us to recoup from the weekend and get ready for another week.

Whew! We will be busy but this is what life is all about! I love being home and doing "stuff" with the family. Next week is my last full week at work and then the next week is VACATION!!! And I really need it!

Life is so good. We serve an awesome GOD!
