My weekend in review: FRIDAY - We flew out of Detroit to spend some time in our new digs down south in Anderson, South Carolina. Amber enjoyed the underground walk to our terminal (see pic to left) - forget Disney World, she's content to ride the thingys that make you walk fast instead! After a looooooooong wait in line for our Hertz rental car, we had lunch with Perry. Good times - he's fun to hang out with. He just finished hiring the final paid student ministry staff member - our 8-strong team is complete! Best moment of the day - I got to spin the money wheel at Shoe Carnival - I won $2 off my shoe purchase!! That one's going down in my Top 5 Moments in Life.
SATURDAY - We ate at the Pizza Buffet. The food actually gives Pizza Hut a run for its money! Also watched breaking news on CNN about the mechanics' strike at NorthWest Airlines and the subsequent 2 emergency landings in Detroit. Spent the evening musing about our Sunday afternoon return flight home to Detroit on NorthWest...
SUNDAY - Went to NewSpring for the 8:30am service. Music was rockin', message from Haggai was sweet and gut-level convicting, and Amber got sticky stuff on her Bible. Also hung out with some of the Executive Staff and heard all about Mud Bowl. Well, that about sums up our weekend in South Carolina.
Oh ya, and we put in an offer on a house too. Alright, here's a picture of it:
