Texas Weekend

Our Foundation Group, which consists of "newlywed" couples from our church originally started with 6 couples. Well this summer, 2 of our couples are moving. So on Friday night, we had one last dinner with the Dunns, who are moving to Denver. We're going to miss them so much! But they are going to join us for a weekend on the lake in July, so we'll see them again soon.

Here is all 6 couples and 2 babies:

This is probably the only picture we have of all 14 of us! We've had such great times with these friends and made so many memories. Our first few years of marriage would have been much different without their friendship and influence. Looking forward to many more years of community!

Ya know how I mentioned the table and the adirondack chair that PK made? Well his next project was a cutting board. Check it out:

Look at those rounded edges! Looks professional!

On Saturday morning we ran a few errands and then ventured out to the dollar movie theater. And can I say it was totally worth it!?!? The theater was pretty small and the screen was pretty small and there were more kids in the theater and there was kind of a constant buzzing sound in the background of the movie, but was it worth it for $1/ticket? Absolutely. It's pretty much going to be hard to convince me to pay full price for a movie ticket again.

Then Saturday night we got to go 2-steppin! The Brannens are the other couple that will be moving this summer, so we jumped at the chance to hang with them for the night and go dancing!

Cowboys Red River is where we danced.

Here are the Brannens dancing up a storm!

Here we all here! We will miss them when they move too.

Look how cute my husband is.

Finally, our Sunday began with a great church service at Watermark. We just started a new series called, "Led". One of my favorite parts from this morning's message was:

Seven Questions to Ask Ourselves When We Are Facing Decisions

1. Will it benefit me spiritually? (1 Cor. 10:23)

2. Will it bring bondage? (1 Cor. 6:12)

3. Will it defile God’s temple? (1 Cor. 6:19-20)

4. Will it cause anyone to stumble? (1 Cor. 8:9)

5. Will it further the cause of evangelism? (1 Cor. 10:32-33)

6. Will it violate my conscience? (Rom. 14:23)

7. Will it bring glory to God? (1 Cor. 10:31)

You can listen to the message on WatermarkRadio.com, the message was titled, "Navigating Decisions".

After lunch at California Pizza Kitchen and a quick nap on the couch, we decided we would try out the pool at our gym. Turned out to be a great decision.

PK called in a mini-schliterbahn.

 It was very family and kid friendly, with tons of people!

We rode on one of the outdoor slides and waded around in the water. Then we ventured to the indoor pool and rode two different water slides, swam in the wave pool and went off the diving board. We felt like kids again! It was awesome to just have fun and not worry about what you looked like in a swimsuit. We definitely plan on going again. They've even got a concession stand and covered area with tables, just waiting for a picnic! The only negative is that Ranger misses out on great pool time, poor guy.

But Ranger has enjoyed having Boss, his dog friend, stay with us. They love the doggie pool, especially when they're outside on these 95 degree afternoons in Texas.

Finally our weekend ends! We grilled up some chicken for dinner, here's Ranger hoping to get some:

Now we'll end the evening by watching the Mavs play! Happy Trails!
