Last weekend, the core team took a trip up to Stafford, VA and Washington, DC. It went very well and was a lot of fun. We spent Saturday afternoon in DC and went to Arlington Cemetery, the Smithsonian American History Museum, and had supper at a Mexican place close to the capitol building. Sunday, we led the musical worship at Mt. Ararat and Tony spoke. It was a good time.
We got back from that trip Sunday evening. After crashing, we got up Monday and did laundry and stuff to get ready for our trip to Mississippi. Donnie, Meghan, Judah, CaryAnne and I began our overnight drive at 6:30 Monday night. What was supposed to be a 12 1/2 hour drive turned into a 15 hour drive when Judah got sick just outside of Atlanta. Poor little guy threw up twice, and had to sacrifice his blanket, which acted as a "barf bag" thanks to Meghan's quick thinking. We made it, though, so it was all good.
We had a great time at home. In the five days we were there, we saw almost everyone we had hoped to. Tuesday, we had lunch with my mom, then the Rakes fixed supper for us. Wednesday we had lunch with Cody, went by King's Daughter's and CaryAnne saw a lot of her old coworkers, then we headed to Clinton for Donnie and me to play at Pinelake. It was great to be back at Pinelake and to see everyone. Afterward, we went to Newk's with some of the guys. Thursday, we got up and went to Hattiesburg. We saw Toni, Zachary, Mackenzie, and Jackson in Petal then went and saw CaryAnne's grandparents. We took Carson with us and got to spend the day with him, too.
Thursday night, mama cooked enchiladas for us then we played tennis with Jon and Cody. On Friday, we had lunch with several friends, went to Loyd Star to see Erin's room, then I played at Recess 101 with Topher Brown & the Family Business. CaryAnne also met up with an old friend from high school and they spent most of the day together. We had a Hart family reunion Saturday around lunch, then went and said goodbye to the Rakes. From there, we met Cody and rode to Monticello for Hunter and Carly Speeg's wedding, which was great, then went back to Erin's for Carson's 2nd birthday party. We drove through the night and got in around 11am.
It was a busy week, but we had a lot of fun. We really enjoyed getting to see everyone and spend some time with them.
Oh, I almost forgot. CaryAnne got a job! It's a PRN (as-needed) job at a hospital about 25 miles from our apartment. She's very excited and so am I.
I have a job interview tomorrow, too, at a Hilton Hotel that is really close to us. I don't know even what position it is for, but I hope it goes well.
We're about to go to sleep, now, since we're both running on fumes from the drive home. We had our weekly core team meeting tonight, which is the only reason we're not in bed already.
