Weekend Update

We had another busy but good weekend. Friday night we had Michael & Alice over for a Mexican feast and we were all so stuffed. My husband sure can cook though!

Jess came to visit from St. Louis this weekend and it was so fun to hang out with her and reconnect with her again. I'm so proud of the wonderful woman she's become despite hard circumstances in life and things she's had to deal with at a young age. She's 9 years younger than me and I remember back when I first moved to St. Louis and started working with the youth group at church she was just 14 and trying to figure out who she was. Now it's hard to believe that in just a few months she'll be graduating from college. I'm so excited to see what the future holds for her!

Saturday afternoon we headed up to Milwaukee for Nich & Sarah's wedding extravaganza. The weather was great, so it was a perfect day to sit outside and hang out with friends. Saturday night we took Jess out for a night on the town in Madison and then met up with some friends down at the Union.

Sunday came and it was the first public service for our little Madison Vineyard church! How exciting! The service went better than expected. We all had a little picnic in the park for lunch afterwards and then Steve had a hurling game in the afternoon.


It was such a busy weekend and left me so exhausted that I was almost (notice I said *almost*) excited for Monday to get here. I'm started to feel a little burnt out from being so busy over the last few weeks. I keep telling myself that if I can just make it to mid-August I'll be fine. This weekend we're off to Minneapolis for yet another wedding.
