Sunday, July 15, 2007: Weekend Update

We had a really great weekend. Kristi is feeling good, my ankle is almost better and the kids are doing great. The only bad news we received is our friend Brian's dad had a mild heart attack. They discovered 5 of his arteries are blocked so he has to have quintuple bypass surgery. So obviously our prayers are going out to their family this week. (Don't confuse this with my dad...he's fine. I have a friend Brian...his dad.)

We got out last night and went on a spontaneous date. I called a babysitter at 3:30 and she came at 5:30. We went to Marios (Kristi's choice), then went to Meijer's to pick up some groceries (sad, I know), then went to Cold Stone and got some ice cream. We were only gone 2 hours but it was great! We got the kids in bed early and we watched a movie.

Today we made it to the early service to see our friends Den and Stace's daughter Brynn get baptized. Then we went to their house for a brunch afterwards...that was very nice. But, after getting up early and going to lunch Kristi was whipped...so she took a nice nap while I just chilled with the kids. Overall it was another great day!

Life just seems so good right now. Kristi is feeling good, the kids are good. Wednesday we're riding on a boat in the Poker Run. It's hard to imagine going in for chemo again. I'd like to hit that pause button and enjoy this time for a while longer. Well, we have another 10 days before chemo so we're going to enjoy this time very much.

Tonight I'm asking for the following prayers:

* Comfort for Brian's dad and family (especially his mom)
* That Kristi continues to get stronger. She has even gained 5 pounds!!!
* Our run of good health in the family continues
