Seven Pounds....

So Laur and I went on a wonderful date last night... 

We went to BW's.. (Thank you Breana!!) Our server was late, so the hostess actually ended up getting us our drinks... taking our orders... getting us refills... she pretty much did as much as our server, who ended up not even being the server we were supposed to have... so we gave the hostess a tip almost equal to what we gave our server, since she did as much! It was fun :-) 

Then we went to see Seven Pounds... Will Smith's new movie... This was super fun because Laur and I hadn't been to the movie theater in FOREVER!!!!!!! I figured out what exactly was going on in this movie about 30 minutes into the movie... cause it's supposed to be a "secret" until the end what the gifts are that he is giving... but i realized it... It was a good movie except for one thing... It was produced by the same person that produced "Pursuit of Happyness"... that movie is super sad all the way through, until like the last 10 minutes! So by the time the movie is over you WANT to be happy... but all your energy is spent being sad the entire movie, so you can't be happy!  Well in Seven Pounds you love the movie and are so happy (unless you know how it's going to end, like I did, in which case I was pretty bummed for most of the movie) until the end and you are like shocked stupid and just want to cry your eyes out... So, i'm convinced this producer just wants everyone to be sad... he must be a sad person himself... angry at the world for some reason... good movie none-the-less....it's a very touching movie... seriously... i came closer to crying in that movie than I have in just about any other...  

So... my words of wisdom from last night... Tip your hostess well, she may be your server some day... Seven Pounds= good movie, be ready to cry... 

I LOVE DATES WITH MY WIFE!!

Been toooooo long....

So, it's been a LONG time since I posted anything here... I really don't know where to start because there is SO much that I could say... so, quick update, I'll hit the high points and just leave it be until my next post....

We completely remodeled our facility... we took out the ceiling in our lobby, so it was raised up about 10ft to the actually roof of the building... built a new wall, took out two walls and created a new children's room.... in one week... it was wicked crazy...

The Sunday after our remodel I found the following guitar on my stand..

it's pretty stinking amazing!! Merry Christmas from the church! :-) 

We had 50 at our Christmas Eve service... we were hoping for 20... following the service we went and delivered presents to the kids that we bought gifts for. That was loads of fun!! 

Laur and I had a crazy busy Christmas... drove a lot between J-town and T-town... but it was fun! Annnnd I guess that's about all I got for now!! 

Greater Things are Yet to Come!
