Wow. I think I did a lot this weekend. Well atleast for me. It all kicked off on Saturday. Saturday morning all started off with a Men's Breakfast at my church. Let me tell you the food was really good and the speaker is one of my all time favorite story tellers. He is an elder at my church and he is an older guy who has done so much in his life that he can tell about a million stories in the one story he tells, and still have people say "I thought you were going to tell this story, not that one." Anyways he has one of the greatest grandpa type voices ever. So the Men's breakfast was great.

Next, after some cleaning up at the house, we got a puppy. That is right at my house we have a puppy now. As a child, me and my two older brothers have always wanted a dog, but the answer was always "NO". There were several reasons, like not a big enough back yard, not a fenced back yard, mom is allergic, but for some reason now with a small back yard, we can get a dog. Its name is Palestine by the way, and it is half golden lab, and half sneaky neighbor dog that wasn't fixed.

Saturday Night, I went to a high school football all-star game. I expected a lot out of it, and really didn't get anything. I was a little dissappointed. The final score was 9 to 6 South over North.

Sunday was another good day for me. It started off with me working in the Nursery at church. I got to teach them the lesson, and a bunch of other stuff. It was kind of interesting though. We had three visitors in the nursery, and more kids than normal anyways, so we had to split up the kids. Then the only kids that we had a problem with in the nursery were the older kids. The two kids were the oldest two kids we have. The girl who was giving us problems I ended up holding, and I heard her say two things all day. The first thing I heard her say was, "I want Daddy." I figure that is typical because kids tend to want their parents when they are scared. After holding her a while, and she calmed down a little, but not enough, I tried to find a toy she liked. I handed her this Cookie Monster toy, and I asked her if she wanted the cookie monster, and she said "Cookie Monster." I held her for a little while longer, and then set her down, and she never let go of the cookie monster toy, until dad came and picked her up. I Thought it was pretty neat.

Sunday night the college group at my church had a Barbecue. It was good. Someone brought Cheesecake. It was delicious.

Tomorrow, I will be going to the zoo with the Elementary at the church. It shall be great fun. This is also the event that I planned, I hope it goes well. There may be pictures, but no guarentees.
