Back To School

Well, it is time to start the spring semester already. Greerson went back for a short week and came home sick on Friday. We had to prepare dinner for the leaders of our churches youth group revival weekend called Impact. We prepared chicken spaghetti and lasagne as the main dishes and prepared sides and desserts as well. It was a lot of work! We cooked and assembled most of it Thursday night then Friday was spent cooking and serving. Poor Greerson hat to sit at home because he was sick. We checked in on him frequently, but he slept most of the day. The youth had a great time. They did an activity based on the Amazing Race Friday evening. The leaders sat around eating dessert and we got to listen to the riddles and see if we could figure them out. Collectively we were able to figure them out, so they were deemed acceptable. We actually got out lucky. We were finished four hours into the event. It was a two night lock-in type event (except they stay at several houses) with general assemblies at the church and smaller groups Bible studies in the houses. It was a great success, but like I said we were done early. It culminated with Sunday morning worship and the guest band performed and our Pastor preached a sermon in line with the theme of the weekend. It's hard to believe that Greerson will be a youth next year. I have a feeling we will be more involved in the future. Christa has to work on King day, but Greerson and I will probably take down the Christmas tree. We have been too busy to take it down (frankly I don't know where we are going to put it, the camper is in the garage and the canoe is hanging over the attic access), I guess it will go in a closet for a couple of weeks until we need the camper again. We are planning to be out with the Boy Scouts next weekend and the adults are going to cook a hog in a pit. Check back next week for photos of this exciting event!
