Weekend in Review

To start, I feel soooo much better!  Fortunately, I was feeling better Friday so that was good!

I told my husband that from now on, we aren't going to schedule Segway tours so far out - a day or 2 notice is all we are going to do because when we book weeks out, the weather on the day we go seems to change uncharacteristically.  The week was nice weather - sunny and 70's.  Friday, not so much - cloudy, windy and highs in the low to mid 60's.  I ended up wearing a scarf, jacket and took gloves!  I didn't wear the gloves, but the jacket and scarf served me well!  The tour was good - I liked our Cincinnati tour better though.  The nice thing about the Dayton tour is that you are on the bike trail for a while and get to go max speed (12 mph) on the Segway!  We had a lot of fun and I didn't wreck :)

After the tour, we went to dinner at Jay's - that was truly for me; my husband doesn't eat seafood and neither do my best friend and her husband.  Side note - my husband has taken me to Jay's several times over the years and we have always enjoyed it but this time the service wasn't so great and the food was just okay - definitely not worth the $$$ that was spent.  I appreciate that he wanted to take me there and do a nice dinner!

We walked around the Oregon District for a bit then headed north to Scene 75.  That place is pretty cool!  It is like a Dave and Buster's but includes a go-kart track and laser tag.  My amazing husband not only loaded up our game card nicely, he also set up and paid for a game card (and put $$ on it) for my best friend and her husband!!!  How awesome is that???  He wanted to make sure everyone had a great time and not worry about $ to play!  And play we did!  The go-karts were so fun!!  The laser tag made me laugh so hard!  My husband was the top scorer of the game but our team lost :(  We had a great time!

Saturday was a nice day  - the weather was much nicer than Friday (of course!).  I took the girls down to Kenwood Towne Centre after my daughter's volleyball games so that she could get Uggs that would be personalized.  The basically "Bedazzled" them and she loves them so I am happy too!  Not only did she love her Uggs, she found a new hobby - we stopped at Michael's on our way home to get materials so that she can start "bedazzling" and embellishing stuff herself.  She made herself a volleyball themed shirt that looks really cute!

Today was church and I have a confession to make.  I wasn't looking forward to going at all!  I love my church however the speaker that was speaking today has never been one of my favorites.  The fact that the girls have to go and take sermon notes for school forced me to go no matter what I was feeling though.  So we go and the music starts and WOW!  Our song service today was AMAZING!!  The church goes by the motto "The flock that isn't afraid to rock" and today they followed that motto for sure.  After the praise songs, we sat down and got to hear and watch them perform "Bittersweet Symphony"!  How many churches perform that??  Oh, that's right - not many!  And they killed it!!  So no matter how the rest of the service was going to go, I was happy that the first half had been fantastic.  I braced myself to have to sit through the rest and God basically put me in my place - the service was great!  From start to finish, I had a great worship experience!  It is sooo not about me - I was there to be shown that today for sure.  So thanks for the reminder Lord ;)

Now to start this week off right!  Since being under the weather last week, I got pretty much no exercise in and was frustrated seeing my bottom half reflected in the mirror but have to remind myself that this is a journey and sometimes there are detours, bumps and yields.  Tomorrow is a new day!
