Twitter started it all

So it’s all Johnny’s fault that I mentioned I wanted chocolate chip cookies. He had twittered, chocolate chip cookies @ grandma’s. My house erupted in cheers and wanted some too. On Sunday afternoon, I am wiped out and not up to making anything. Gabriel decided that he would tackle the job.

He made Mrs. Lana cookies (snickerdoodles) and chocolate chip cookies. We may have an up and coming baker on our hands.

Unleash

WoW! What an amazing 30 hrs!

• Left the The ROCK at 5:30 pm on Wednesday with a bunch of ROCKERS!
• Had a great van ride arriving at 12:30 am
• On to Unleash bright and early Thursday morning.
• Great hospitality read about the Sundrop story on Helen’s blog.
• Perry brought two fun straightforward words.
• Tony Morgan’s breakout wasn’t flamboyant, but witty and informative.
• The children’s breakout allowed me the opportunity to speak with Pudge about some creative ideas.  I would like an ounce of his creativity.

The last session was truly amazing when senior pastors were honored. I know I cannot even begin to feel the weight that our senior pastor carries. My heart is that I will be a part of the staff he can lean on.

Weekend Recap

It is Sunday night and I am whooped! The time change did a number on me. I need all of my hours of sleep and going without one is not fun. I used to think something was strange with me because I needed so much sleep, but my Mom says I have been like that since I was 6 weeks old. I was a great baby,  I slept all the time, but I can’t do that as an adult.

On Friday, I picked Adam up from school with the class pet, a guinea pig named Max. We immediately took him out of the cage and fed him carrots. He is a small fur ball and Sadie, our 25 lb. labradoodle is terrified of him. Max goes back to school tomorrow and Sadie will be glad.

Yesterday, we cleaned the house and I finally emptied my suitcase from Dallas. My how things have changed, I used to be so on the ball. Our house is pretty straight now and mostly clean.

Gabriel and Noah went to the 2Xtreme polaroid scavenger hunt event. Adam and I went to run errands. Of course one of those errands included Target. We found out that you can get a medium icee for $1.48 or if you buy the icee/popcorn combo the price drops to $1.28. I was puzzled by this, but of course we got the combo to save the money.

Adam and I ended up at Starbucks. He was such a great errand runner and never complained about all the places we had to go. He just wanted to make sure we were going to Starbucks.

Our last event, was to celebrate two birthdays in one family. Melanie Velie, one of my amazing nursery team leaders pulled off two suprises her husband, Duane turned, 40 and her son, Michael turned 18 . Glad we could be there to help them celebrate.
