Looking back, this past weekend was, for lack of a better term, rad.

Let's see, starting with leaving work on Friday...
I talked to Corey for about half an hour about the non-profit he is starting. We talked about his short term goals, long term goals, plans, and dreams. I am excited to see what the future holds for Hope Athletics - Raleigh, and I am pumped to be a part of it. I have already started to see God at work for the success of it.

Kim and I hung out on Friday night. It was fun to just hang out at the house. We had dinner and caught up on our TV from the week, just the two of us. We watched Earl, the Office, Grey's, and a few Nothing But Trailers. I really enjoyed our night.

Saturday was eventful.

I played basketball in the morning, but not until ten. It was nice to be able to sleep until I woke up, and still be able to make it to the gym. Afterward, Matt came over and we cleaned up some leftovers for lunch. We made it over to the Ramsey/Gore house (I need to come up with a better way to reference this dwelling.) just in time to unload the last five items from the truck.

We did actually do a little work. Matt and I went with Jeff in "the original U-haul truck" back to his house to get all the stuff from around the yard. Jeff had a lot of fun driving the huge U-Haul. I think he is already planning a sabbatical where he plans to take a job driving a truck across the country delivering various freight for a month.

We got back to the new house just in time to see the Wolfpack do the unthinkable. Way to go guys. Great Win. I guess we bought the wrong mini-pack. I saw this article linked on the Mitchell's blog. It is somewhat humorous.

Saturday night we had people over. The boys played football on the xbox and the girls watched TV and talked about what ever it is that girls talk about.

Jeff's talk on Sunday morning was great. It was about defining who in your neighbor. He used the story of the good Samaritan. Something he mentioned that stuck with me was how we have gone from a big front porch society to a big back deck society. If you get the chance you should listen to the podcast, but first someone needs to work on getting the recent ones up on the site.

Sunday afternoon I took a nap at the Smith's house while watching some DiscoveryHD. Did you know that it takes years to build a Destroyer? There is a lot of welding involved. I guess it takes a long time to get 200 tons of metal to float.

Sunday night we went to the house for a Super Bowl party. The pig was excellent, the game was great, the commercials did not disappoint, but the best part was the people. There were over fifty people hanging out eating together, laughing together, and staring at a box made of plastic that magically displays moving pictures together, if that is possible.

It was a really good weekend.
