Bountiful Blessings...

What a weekend.  Friday night Dan and I had a "date-night" at the St. Louis Symphony.  The program was the Lord of the Rings Symphony!  It was incredible.  They had to extend the stage because of the number of instruments.  We ended the night with Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, which is an "institution" in the Saint Louis area.  

Saturday morning I had my mini-retreat for the ACTS team that  I am a part of.  It was amazing.  Again, I watched the Holy Spirit at work...  My small sharing group was awesome.  They were the two ladies that I needed to be placed with-- I just LOVE how the Spirit works like that.  I feel the team just growing closer and closer as the retreat approaches!

As I mentioned in the previous post, our lifelong girlfriends and their hubbies came over for drinks and RockBand/Wii night.  We had alot of fun.  Now that we're all married and most have children, we don't get to see each other nearly as much as when we were younger.  We had fun catching up.  Not everyone was ready to step up and try the RockBand instruments, but we still had fun.

Today, my brother Greg, the priest, came over and spent the afternoon with us.  He LOVED RockBand!!  That really surprised me--and he was a great singer!  He stayed for dinner too.  It was really a nice evening.  We don't get to see him as much as we used to, now that he is down in Washington, MO.  

I had a blessed weekend.  Now I've got to get ready for a new work week!
