Our Adventures

Well, Vicky is making me post my first blog on our blog site because she said she might have to change it's name if I never did any. So here I am. So I guess I'll tell ya'll about our weekend. On Friday I came home from Plenty to a house that smelled real good. Vicks had made beef dip, which is like one of my favorite meals, and I was starving so that was awesome. Then I realized that she had set the table for four so apparently someone was coming over for supper but I had no clue who. I thought it might be Andrew and Janette because she was in town for the weekend but she said no. Then I said it must be Kevin and Alysha and she wouldn't say so then I got thinking it might be someone else but I didn't know who. Anyways, in the end it was Kevin and Alysha which was swell. We had a superb supper, my wife makes a mean beef dip.Then I was surprised because they gave me birthday presents because my birthday is next tuesday. That was pretty cool. I hadn't realized that it was my birthday party. Yup, so I got this i trip thing for my ipod and a new Boston Red Sox hat from Vicks. Kev and Alysha got me a gift certificate to get a cd too so that was swell. After presents we had a rousing game of Settlers of Catan, Seafarers edition. I lost, which is extremely rare I have to say. After that we watched the end of the Riders game which they won! I was impressed with how they actually completed some clutch plays to get the game winning field goal. So that made it all around an awesome evening.



Here we are all eating supper! I think that was the largest meal we have had on our new table so far. It held up pretty good I'd say.



Awwwww. Look at them.



Thats me with my new hat and ipod toy.

So anyways, I think I'm dragging this on. Remember, I'm new at this. On Saturday we went to the town of Davidson because my Girls Volleyball team which I help coach in Plenty had a tournament there. I was so impressed with how our girls played. We were in the semi-finals against the first place team and were just two points away from beating them in the third game. Anyways I was proud of them. I love coaching stuff. It was great that Vicks could come watch too and see a bit of what I do in Plenty. I'm taking Kev's camera out there this week so maybe I'll put a blog up of what life is like out there for ya'll. If you care. After we got back to the city on Saturday we went out to Moxy's with Andrew and Janette, Kev and Alysha, and like a tonne more of A and J's friends. It was sort of an engagement party I guess. It was pretty fun but we didn't get any pictures to show ya'll. Maybe next time we have an engagement party for someone.

Well I guess all that is left is Sunday. It was pretty splendid. It was sort of a miserable day so we didn't get to go on the walk that I wanted to. Instead we went shopping because we had a few things we needed for our house, like a rolling pin, and I was checking out the Gap because Vicky's parents and her dog got me a Gap gift card. I got a shirt, I'll check again some other day for other stuff. When we got home we had a message on our phone to go to my uncle steve's for pizza with the gang, which is what he calls the whole Braun family. So that was fun and they all sang a rousing Braun version of Happy Birthday for me. Between the ping pong with A and J and the bug your neighbor with everyone the afternoon flew by. We stopped by at kev's for a bit to pick up his camera and then went to church. Church was really awesome tonight. The worship and the message just all meshed so well. It was about how we are free from the law and how it is so easy to slip back into looking at our lives based on right and wrong and not just on the fact that Jesus already did it all for us! Anyhoo I loved it. And that brings us to now basically. I need to get to bed because tomorrow is another week and I'm up at 5 to leave for Plenty. Nice talking to all of you.
