Change of plans...

Well, we didn't have the quiet weekend we had planned, nor did we get anything accomplished that we hoped to. But what we did get was a wonderful surprise....NATE!
We were so excited that he could surprise us for the weekend - it was so fun to have him here and so sad to see him leave.
Steve and I both have our separate friends that we tolerate for each other. Steve has a few friends that are somewhat obnoxious that it's kind of hard for me to be around, and I have a few friends that are challenging for him to be around for different reasons. One thing that both Steve and I have in common when it comes to friends though is that we both absolutely love Nate! Both Steve and I were close friends with Nate before we even started dating. Nate and Jamie got engaged the same week that Steve and I did. Nate was a groomsmen in our wedding and then six months after that Steve was a groomsmen in his.
Needless to say we were thrilled to have some quality time with our friend this weekend. We hung out at the Great Dane on Friday night, checked out the Zoo on Saturday and then Saturday evening drove over to New Glarus for their Octoberfest. It is so nice and refreshing to spend time with friends that are familiar and Nate is one of those people.

So, now the plan is to spend next weekend taking care of business around the house, putting time into our community group teachings, working on other church stuff and maybe have a little time for some fun (you hear that sweat pant Sarah?) mixed in there to.
For now though, it's back to the daily grind.
