Great Weekend

I (Sarah) had kind of a rough week last week because I found out I didn't get a job I had interviewed for. The people and the position had seemed very promising and my hopes were a little too high I think :) It is reassuring that after a rough week, God has a way of showing me His love in the most obvious ways.

Chris and I had a date night Friday night and saw the movie Madagascar 2 at the $1.75 theater. We even splurged on a soda and our favorite candy, Junior Mints. After we hit up Coldstone with our buy-one-get-one coupon, bringing the total cost of the date to $14 - what a great night!

Saturday we hiked in Colorado Springs with our friends Chad and Michelle, then had dinner at their house. Lots of their friends came over and we had a so much fun playing games and eating delicious food. That kind of awesome fellowship and community has been hard to come by since we've been away from all our college friends - so we enjoyed every minute of it and soaked it in all night!

Sunday we ate breakfast in bed because since Chris has been working Saturdays, he really has come to cherish his Sunday mornings in bed. We went to the 11 o'clock church service and are enjoying our church a little more every week. Sunday afternoon we went to a broadway comedy skit at the Denver Civic Theater called "Defending the Caveman." It was a HILARIOUS interpretation about the differences between men and women - so funny! We finished up the weekend by watching the Grammy's together last night, what a wonderful weekend :)

Monday morning I volunteered at the Arthritis Foundation - it was great to get out of the apartment! Ironically enough, I did lots of work with my little finger joints and actually it was kind of tough haha. I kept thinking, "oh wow my joints don't move like this anymore." I met two women that work there that are about my age and it was great to make a couple friends! I'm volunteering on M-W-F mornings, so thats something to look forward to!

We're headed to KC then to Springfield next weekend and are really excited to see family and friends. We'll be at the Zeta Tau Alpha Centennial Celebration and also Drury's Homecoming. Chris will be crowning the new Joe College! Have a great week!
