Short Week, Long Post

Like all my Canadian friends, they had their new designated "Long weekend". We also did for President's day and I had Tuesday off because of a teacher work day. But, with all that time, where did the weekend go?

This weekend, Jason was at a mens "lock-in" at a local church. It was called Walk to Emmaus and he had an awesome time and is so excited that I get to go this weekend. So tomorrow evening he drops me off and I'm there till Sunday 6pm, so my work week is wednesday and thursday this week. It's kind of a secretive deal but many great things happen during this weekend. He met a lot of men from here and surrounding areas and made some great connections. He said he was emotionally and physically drained. I guess they have a lot of speakers and group time and stuff like that, but the toughest thing was trying to sleep with other men who snore. I guess there was a lot of sawing wood in his room that he had to move to another room. Ear plugs didn't even work. A lot of laughs and tears where had by all. That's all I can say about it.

While he was there, I went out with a friend who sponsored us and we saw the movie Juno. Quite different from the movies I would have picked. The jury is still out if I liked it. It was different. The opening scene left us both questioning what we went to. Saturday I was by myself and vegged but cleaned. Sunday I went to church and out for pizza at a friend's parents. Went home and waited for Jason. At 6pm, someone that went to pick up her husband phoned and asked if I wanted to join the group for supper. So we met everyone and their sponsors that went to the mens retreat. They had a great time were sharing a lot of the jokes and laughs they had. They said the Holy Spirit was very heavy there all weekend.

Monday we slept late because Jason was just zonked from everything. But we did get up and decided we needed to go to Billings and spend some of our Christmas gift cards. We went to Big R for some jeans, The Outback Steak house for an awesome, calorie rich dinner and Linen 'n' Things for a splurge. I walked in because Jason was on the phone and found some bedding that I thought we'd both like and it was a great deal. Bed in a bag for $79.99! It's red, brown and cream. It doesn't quite go with the grey/mauve walls we have but that will change sometime.


This week has flown by and I love the 2 day work week I'm having. Tonight I get dropped off to meet a lot of other women and to connect with God.
