This has been a fun weekend. Yesterday Kristi and I took Lucy downtown to walk around and also go to the dog park. There were at least 30 dogs there, it was a little out of control. Kristi and I got to sit on one of the swings at one point and random dogs kept coming over and sitting between us for a little bit. I guess we just look like a friendly couple. Lucy just watched and didn't participate in the ruckus like usual, but she seemed less nervous than usual.
Saturday night Kristi and I went to Nate's birthday party, and it was a very fun party. His parents' house is awesome, complete with a massage chair, indoor shuffleboard, pool, a tanning bed, and just about anything else you can think of. We ended up stying fairly late and I didn't want to blog as I had to get up at 6:15.
Today was also a great day. The services went very well today, and I was really happy with the sound again. I also thoroughly enjoyed both the Coldplay opener and the Brooklyn Tabernacle song, "Jesus I Love You." Not only that, but I got the nicest note from some young girls in the church saying that they appreciate what I do and that they are praying for me. I think all the tech guys got one, but I like to pretend it was just me.
After church we ate at Midtown Deli, and while I have been underwhelmed at said restaurant previously, I found an item I supremely enjoyed today. Not only that, but their Diet Pepsi was the perfect mixture of carbonated water and syrup, which is a huge plus for me. You know where else has a perfect mixture with their beverages? Chik-fil-A. After lunch I stopped by Kristi's grandmother's nursing home with her and then headed to NHCC to play for the youth tonight.
I haven't played for the youth at NHCC in a little while, and it was fun tonight. My friend Ben from Southside actually ended up coming to play bass. Ryan needed a bass player, so I figured I would use my new Southside connections to help him out. I used a click track for 3 of the songs, which turned out really well. Not only did it make it so easy to be steady, I think it saved my ears some having my in-ear Shures in. For some reason playing with a click has always come fairly natural to me. We did a few great songs, but my favorite was definitely the "Jesus Culture" one I posted a few days ago. I turned my camera on and set it on the floor behind me so that you could see everything from my perspective...although it turns out all you can really see is my feet...but it's still kind of fun I think:
After church Kristi and I went to Zaxby's with my parents and talked for a while, coming home a little after 10. Lucy was extremely hyper, so I ran around some with her in the backyard before getting into bed. Since then I've just been waiting for my video to upload and trying to keep Oliver out of my Diet Coke. Seriously, why does blogger take half an hour for an 80 MB .mpg file to upload?
Tomorrow shouldn't be too busy, although I dread running again. I'm pretty sure I gained back anything I had lost the past two weeks this weekend. That's OK though, at least I'm getting in better shape, which is really what's important. Oops, gotta go, Oliver's head is in my Diet Coke cup again...
