FINALLY a weekend to enjoy instead of running around crazy. Life felt somewhat like the old days…….before we were engaged and trying to plan a wedding in 5 1/2 months. It’s been a little over two months since we got engaged and almost every weekend has been planning for the wedding or we are out of town.

This weekend however was a great time of sitting back and enjoying the weekend and the weather! Sunday night was our last D-group for the sophomores in our youth group. We have these groups three times a month and now they are over until school starts back in the Fall. Another way to phrase that would be to say that D-groups will start back up after our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure there are about 20 kids in our youth group that think they will be doing something special at the wedding in August. On any given week I will have at least 5 of them come tell me what special job they think they need to do during the ceremony. As of Saturday Rebekah and Carli B. want to randomly stand up and sing a song…….just whenever they feel like it. Sounds good to me! heehee.

For our last D-group we took the sophomores to Bear Creek Park in Keller. Greg grilled hot dogs for everyone and we played volleyball and ultimate frisbee. Of course my natural athletic abilities came out during an intense game of ultimate frisbee. The best moment of the game happened about half way through. Greg was on the opposing team and threw a gorgeous pass to one of his teammates. I knocked the pass down resulting in my team getting the frisbee. For some reason I thought it would be smart to get in Greg’s face and let him know who the real ruler of this game is…….ME of course. The problem with this “smart idea” was it wasn’t smart at all. Greg proceeded to throw me over his shoulder and run all the way down the field. Just for the record…..it’s not a good idea to eat a hot dog, Doritos and Dr. Pepper and then be flung over someones shoulder and ran down a field. I’ll just go ahead and tell you that it’s better if you don’t do those two things in  a row! Anyway, the evening was a ton of fun and I can hardly wait to go to New Mexico with these kids this summer.

My good friend Katie took engagement photos of us this evening. I love that we picked the one day that it is 99 degrees to take pictures. Greg sent me a text message today asking me if I had arranged the hot weather? I obviously didn’t but it did turn out to be a good evening for picture taking. We went to the botanical gardens and got some great pictures. Katie is a wonderful photographer and I will be more than happy to give you her number if you need pictures taken. Thanks Katie for squeezing us into your very busy schedule!

Have a great week!
