Exceptionally Good Day

So as my title indicates, this was an exceptionally good day.  I'm very tired at the end of it, so I'll make this a summary instead of full of detail.

Went to the 8:00 service, but we were super late since we didn't get up until 7, and have to leave at 7:30 to get there on time.  We made it at the offertory, so we listened to the sermon, went to Sunday school, but got there at 9:11.  It's supposed to start at 9:30, but our teacher is perpetually 15 minutes late, so Dusty left a note on the board that we were going to get donuts.  Went 10 minutes across town, got the donuts, 10 minutes back, walking across the parking lot each time, and he still wasn't there.  But the donuts were awesome!  We went to the 11:00 service, but just until the offertory, so we could get the entire service.  Tommy and Andrea (Dusty's brother and wife) came today.  Josh and Shandy (Josh and Dusty are cousins) and we had decided to go to lunch after they got out of the service, and we'd invite Tommy and Andrea to go too.  Dusty and I, and our kids, went to Cracker Barrel, but the wait was an hour, called another place and it was 45 minutes, so we went to Pizza Hut, which is right next to church.  We had a great lunch, although it was quite loud because of Tommy and Andrea's kid, Hudson.  Whew, lack of discipline.

Dusty and I watched part of Date Night this afternoon, and then I decided to go to choir, hence my last post.  Choir was really good.  It's a bit overwhelming to sing with so many people, and by overwhelming I mean loud.  I could hardly hear myself, but it was good.  While I was at choir Dusty and the kids went to Green Acres farm (not from the TV show) with Tommy, Andrea and Hudson.  The kids had a good time, but they both said that the next time they wanted me to go too.  :)  Nice words to hear.

We went to the evening service, got gas and got home at 8:00.  Very late for the kids to start baths, but they were in bed by 8:30, so it worked out well.  All in all, it was a very busy, but good day.  Plus it included donuts and pizza, so what more could I want?  Tomorrow I have MOPS at church (Mothers of Preschoolers), and I'm really looking forward to that.  OK, so that pretty much proves that I'm incapable of summarizing.  Now for bed.  Not a moment too soon.

  1. I to have you inability to summarize. But that's okay, because then I know more about your life!

  2. Jennie, dear friend, there is no need to summarize, you are writing to friends and family and they are interested in what you are doing and what you are thinking. Leave the summarizing to the professional editors and the politicians. I find your blog entries to be really interesting, and I very much enjoy sharing some of your experiences and thoughts even if only vicariously.

    It sounds like you had a great day! Good!
