Covenant Chapel Friends and Family Weekend

Jay and I had a great weekend after he finished his second national board exam Friday afternoon!  Yahoo!  He has several weeks off for rest and relaxation before rotations start in August.  We have several fun trips on the calendar and are looking forward to our time off together.  Friday night started our "Friends and Family Weekend" at church with a "Magic vs. Miracles" comedy/magic show by magician Devon Henderson.  We had a great time laughing and being awed by his magic!  It was a great way to start celebrating the fun weekend! 

Saturday we slept in and watched a movie then went shopping for new swimsuits for our lake and beach trips!  After shopping we came home and got ready for our dinner celebration at McCormick and Schmick.  I had received a $20 gift certificate for administrative professional's day so we were excited to use that!  We were there for nearly two hours just talking and enjoying a great meal together!  After dinner we came home and watched another movie (we love our free HBO previews when we get them!).  It was so wonderful to spend all day together just free and easy. 

Sunday was the Friends and Family day at church and picnic lunch afterwards.  We weren't able to go last year so we were excited to be a part of this year!  Pastor Dave preached on personality types and how we relate to each other because of the way God made us.  It was very insightful and interesting.  After church was the picnic lunch and it was a blast.  We stayed until about 2 o'clock just chatting under the shade with great friends.  I have pictures of all this stuff but I will have to upload them later!

After church we came home and did a little bit of yard work (planted my near-dead petunias from the farmer's market) and then went to the Looloian's pool!  We got to lay out for a few hours and then went to the grocery store together.  We made dinner at the house and watched another movie together!  We are such homebodies but it has been so nice to just be together without worrying about studying or anything. 

We are very much looking forward to our anniversary weekend coming up.  I have Thursday and Friday off so we head down to Norman tonight after work.  We'll head to Lake Texoma on Friday morning for our family reunion with cousins, aunts, uncles and all!  Can't wait to tell you all about it on our return.  Pictures coming soon, too! :)
