This past weekend I was reminded again of just how very blessed I really am. Spending time with family and friends is what my weekend consisted of; nothing out of the norm.
Friday: helping serve at a banquet and then getting together with my soon to be new family to make popcorn decorations for the tree (which we had all never done before and it was a blast! minus the sore fingers from poking yourself with the needle...) After all that hard work we headed out to get desert from the cafe which we had forgotten earlier, but then realized our cravings were screaming cheeseburger from mc.d's. Which is rather odd seeing as I don't crave Mc.d's anymore and hadn't eaten there in 5 monthes, but Lisa, Darcy and I braved the cold and went for a late night micky d's run.
Saturday: after sleeping in due to the late night Mc.d's run, Darcy came over for some cheese eggs, mario kart and lazing around on a Saturday afternoon. College and Career then headed out to Steinbach to watch Robin Hood at SBC, and then good old Smitty's after.
Sunday: Getting up at 8:45 and being ready by 9:45 to trek out to Carmen to join Misty, Mike and the gang for church. Two and a half hours, a burger and delicious poutine fries later we were back at Misty's playing a rousing game of Dutch Blitz (Which Darcy and I won :) ) and then later Wizard. After watching the Riders lose, seeing a very frusterated Kelli and trying to work the juke box we realized our hunger. Pizza was ordered and eaten and even more games were played at Kelli's. Catch Phrase is now on my Christmas list, because it just may be the best game ever. As, 7.45 rolled around Darcy and I realize it is time to say goodbye and head back to Rosenort for our weekly Amazing Race get togethers. Jill, Jared, Chad, and Kels were awaiting us so we could watch to see who gets the boot this week. To our dismay the last clue read "keep racing" and it will be continued on the coming Sunday. Tribond was broke out again and the cards are very repetative by now (which makes for a little bit of fighting between the girls team and the guys team :) ) but it is fun non-the-less. Christmas and new years '06 plans were in the works and excitment was in the air until we realized the time and the reality hit us that it was soon Monday, and another week of work/school was just about to begin. It didn't seem to phase me that Monday was just around the corner because my weekend was amazing, even though it was a pretty normal weekend. I grew a new appreciation for my friends; I love my friends. I always knew they were amazing but this weekend for some reason it just hit me. Darcy and I are so lucky to have two groups of very different but both truly awesome friends. We are extremely blessed.
