Good morning bloggers! It's Tuesday and I'm getting ready to have what I hope to be a very productive day.
This weekend was alot of fun. The American Idol concert was a hit. It was definitely a bit cheesy at times when they did some of their group songs, but Clay, Rueben, and Kimberly Locke were amazing. I actually think Kimberly sang better than them all at the concert. Clay and Reuben sang songs from their new album and I was really into them. I met my sister and mom down there around 4pm and apparently at 3pm the tour bus unloaded and people got autographs and pictures of the idols. When they were telling my sister this, I could see tears in her eyes. In one breath, I felt frustrated for her, because I know how bad she wanted to see them, but then I also had to laugh to myself about it too, because come on...we are talking about Clay Aiken here. But she did manage to throw an OSU stuffed bear up on stage at the end of the concert for Clay. She is so excited that Clay has her bear now. My whole family except for Ryan ended up going which was pretty funny I think, but we had a great time. We ended the evening by going to this great Italian restaurant where they serve everything family style.
so anyhoo, enough about that. Thanks Emily for the message last night! That would have been exciting to see the idols just shopping at a mall. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see them too.
I came home on Saturday just in time for our group, and apparently as Ryan's blog mentioned, our head pastor has resigned. It's going to be very hard to fill his shoes that's for sure, but I know that God has a plan. And sometimes I think it's always good to test a church to make sure that it is not centered around it's pastor. I think Southland will pas the test on this one, but I'm sure they will have some people leave. We may only have 7000 members instead of 8000. Oh no!! :) That night we wented 25th Hour with Edward Norton. It was definitely slow, but I thought Norton was great and the dialogue was great. It probably isn't a good 1am movie though.
Sunday Ryan and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. It was such a fun day. We started the day off with a swim in our pool and hung out there for a bit. And a swim in the pool is never complete without an afternoon nap in the air condiitioning right afterwards, so we did that too. Then we went to an RV dealer to check out some RV's for my folks. There are some definite nice ones! We then decided it was too nice to eat indoors, so we picked up some Chinese and headed to the park to have a picnic. We then went to babies r us to register for a little more and then topped off the evening with dessert at the Olive Garden. Yummmm!!!! They really have some of the best desserts. So it was an eventful and awesome day to celebrate with Ryan. Our last anniversary of not being parents!
Last night we had our birthing class. For those of you who were at my shower, you know this is not a highlight of Ryan's week, but he's a trooper. To fill the rest in, when Ryan was asked by our instructor why he was taking the class, he said in a sort of joking way, "Because Michelle made me". But then never really came back with a real reason, but he said in his mind he was thinking, "um..because we are having a baby." Which is a good answer I guess. :) I always end up being emotional after the classes, because I think they make it seem so real, like this is really going to happen isn't it? Especially when we found out the one of the ladies in our group just gave birth to her baby boy last week. I didn't think I would be too nervous about the delivery part, but I think that's because I was in denial. I'm starting to get a little anxious about it now, but I know it will be great no matter what happens, as long as Hannah is healthy.
Welp there was our weekend in a nutshell. A rather big nutshell I guess. Time for a productive day. Have a great week everyone! Enjoy your time in Ohio Sanfords! I'm so jealous of you teachers and speech therapists!
Peace!
