This weekend was jam-packed full of fun, the best kind of weekend. I got to spend quality time with so many loved ones so even though I am tired and mentally somewhat fuzzy this Monday morning, I am deeply satisfied with how I spent my energy.
Let's go through it day by day, moment by moment. I may not have pictures of all fun times yet though because some are on my SD card which doesn't plug into my work computer.
Thursday:
Erin planned "damper madness". She had the brilliant idea to put cheese, bacon and other ingredients into damper and cook dinner in the bonfire for Madness. We rocked up with a bunch of ingredients and sat around the camp fire in her backyard for hours, cooking savory pizza damper and sweet dessert damper (chocolate and marshmallows). It was simple but such good fun. We eventually put out the fire and headed inside for tea and coffee, and chatted for hours. I can't remember what we talked about exactly, I just remember enjoying it lots.
Friday:
Today started out with a 5km run with Josh. It was a bit random, a bit spontaneous, and a bit exhausting! It's been 6 weeks since I've done any exercise and so smashing out 5km felt great, yet painful. Then we had breakfast, cleaned my kitchen, and just chatted for ages. I visited Erin in the afternoon and had lunch and a cup of tea with her. Rowan kept bringing me books so I read with her lots.
In the evening I drove down with Pat to Wollongong to watch the album launch of Masterplan. Soong was playing in the band as well. It was a really really fun gig. Also was fun to have the company of Pat for 3 hours to and from the Gong!
Saturday
Soong and I spent the day doing odd jobs. We cleaned the bathrooms and our bedroom, we did two loads of washing, weeding, and began sorting out my bedroom at my Dad's house. There was so much to sort out! We emptied one bookshelf, and half of the wardrobe - but there are still many boxes to sort through, and I may need to make a decision about what to do with all my diaries!
Dad and I went out for dinner in the evening. He took me to Frank's lebanese restaurant, yum, and then we went to his house and watched The Lion King and Die Hard. He dropped me home afterwards, and I managed to fit in a few more episodes of Angel as well!
Sunday
The morning started off with cooking, bulletin prepping and prayer writing. Church was wonderful as always. Ez preached on Exodus 32 about our good and dangerous God. It was a real reminder that God is not safe, but because he is loving and kind we are safe in him. After church, Laura, Mandy, Christine and I celebrated "International Laura Day" which happens in June sometime. We took a roadtrip up to Bilpin to get fresh homemade pies and apple cider. It was a brilliant afternoon, so much fun! After the pie date, Soong and I went to his parents house to see Steph who was finally back from her travels in Europe. She bought me so many amazing pens from each place she went to! We had dinner with the parents and grandparents, hung out with family and then headed home.
