Our Weekend

This has really been an awesome weekend! First of all, Andy's only off work every other weekend, so we always cherish the weekends he's at home. We kicked this weekend off Friday afternoon with a visit to AnMed to see our friends Ansley and Jarod's new baby girl, Harper. We've been hanging out with her for nine months, so it was great to finally meet her! We are so happy for the Allen family and know that Lani and Dax are going to be a great big sister and brother for Harper. Andy, Hayley, and I then ate at Anderson's newest restaurant, J Peters. It was super great and I'm glad we have a new place to go.
On Saturday, we went to Copper River in Seneca with our Sunday School class from Sierra Baptist Church. Our class is for parents, so we were all having a "Parents Night Out". It was super fun getting to hang out with everyone outside of church. Even the bus ride to and from was fun, due to our "wild man" driver, Eric! Our night out just goes to show that you can be a Christian and still have fun. We are so thankful that God has put these great friends and this great church into our lives.
The downside to the weekend, was that Friday afternoon our upstairs air conditioning stopped working. We couldn't get anyone to come and repair it and sleeping in an 85 degree bedroom is not pleasant. We just replaced our downstairs unit about a month ago, and the upstairs unit is only five years old, so we were less than eager to pay an expensive repair bill. Luckily for us, we were complaining about our situation on the church bus Saturday night and found out that one of our fellow class members is an electrician who can repair heating and air units. He graciously came out to our house Sunday afternoon and discovered that our unit only needed a certain new part that only cost $25. What a relief to have air again and not have to spend a ton of money to get it!
I'm sad to see the weekend end, especially since we have to wait two weeks to have another one (that includes Andy, at least!), but I'm already looking forward to our next weekend together because we will be on our summer vacation in Charleston!
