Weekend Update!!!

Well we had a pretty good weekend. On Friday when I got off work we went to the Sportshow. We got there just before 4:00 & Michael Waddell’s show started at 4:30, so Elicia said we should go get seats. We went up to where I thought it was at & he was up there talking to people. Logan & I were looking at some stuff at one of the tables & Michael walked up & started talking to Logan. Logan got his autograph. He flat blew me away. He was probably the nicest person I have ever met. He spent 45 min. in his session saying that he is no better than any other hunter & if you talk bad or down to him than you are doing it to all of us & insulting all hunters. That was not something I expected to hear from somebody with all his success. While we were sitting there a realtree & muzzy prostaffer were shooting their bows at the 3D targets & the realtree guy asked Logan if he wanted to shoot a deer, so Logan got to go up & shoot with a realtree prostaffer. If you don’t know hunting or the people or companies out there than this is all boring, but for me, it was better than Christmas. My son got to have some great hunting experiences at 4 years old. That is the kind of stuff that will keep him excited about the sport. Michael will be back in town on March 3rd so maybe daddy can get an autograph.

Saturday we stayed around the house. I finished the Highest Call class to send to Mario & worked to put together a new computer system for the church office. The computers in there are ready to crash & they need new computers bad. It is going to cost about $3,000 to get a new system in there so we all should give a little extra to get this done. (Make sure to mark that it is for the computers). I had practice in the afternoon & I took some time off in the evening to spend with my family. Sunday we had Church. People must have thought it was to cold to come to Church, it looked like a Wednesday crowd. It just amazes me why people don’t come to Church. When we were small & sick, my dad said puke & get your coat. We went anyways & I am blessed because of it. It instilled in us that come Sunday & Wednesday you go to Church. People are counting on you being there. My children are being taught to go to Church. Sorry about that rant. After church we came home & had lunch. I work on some church video projects for an hour or so, than we went to Ashley’s house. The whole family was there to hang out, including my brother in law/cousin Mark. Its fun when he is out here. I didn’t really get to grow up around my family, so it is a blast when he is here. We watched the first two episodes of Lost. It is a pretty good show, after that went home & watched the Olympics & went to bed.

Monday was, well Monday. I hate Monday’s, come to think of it, I don’t really don’t like Monday thru Thursday. When I got home last night. We had dinner & I worked on cleaning some junk out of my computer & finishing up some old projects. I have to wipe my computer out so I need to wrap up all those things that never got finished.

As I was driving into work this morning, Jeremy pulled up next to me without his seatbelt on. Be sure to send him an email explaining how important it is that DADDY wear his seatbelt so he will be around to be apart of his family’s life.
