Those that know me well know I am a planner. I plan things. Thats how I work. I dont like to stray from my plan. I dont stray well. This weekend I had the privilege of planning two events. Nick and I celebrated our 29th birthdays together on Saturday. We had many friends join us for some grilling out action. We played a little Apples to Apples and generally had a good time. Nick also learned he likes some wheat beer.
Sunday was a little bit bigger challenge. I was in charge of planning the majority of the DOCK meeting for the church plant. We did "DOCK in the park." It was really fun and we had a great time. I arranged to get some pork loin thru my brother. He was really sweet and partly cooked it for me. I just had to finish it up and shred it. I added BBQ sauce to one and turkey gravy to the other (slightly smaller portion). I also made a pasta salad. I had planned for chips and a lettuce salad, but those people didnt show up. I think we had about 50 people (i forgot to count) including kids. The only thing we ran out of was cups. We had left overs but not so much that we will be eating it for weeks. It was a good time
We had a great weekend and really a good time with both events, but about 5:30 last night (right about the time Ben started preaching his sermon) we both realized we were totally exhausted. Not a great thing to realize when there is still 20 minutes left in the service and we were the ushers. We got home, warmed up some left overs and totally crashed on the couch.
Today we celebrated Nick's Birthday early. I made a new recipe of "creamy mushroom soup" and steak on the grill. Nick seemed to like it. Tomorrow Im taking a break from cooking and am going to make one of our "Let's Dish" meals.
