Weekend Whatever

Time marches staggers on, which warrants a bullet point post:

• Work is good but busy.
• Commuting is much better when it’s not snowing and now that it’s getting light out earlier. That said, we’re getting a snowstorm tonight. Again.
• Our weekends tend to be lazy yet fly by. They often sneak up on us before we can make any plans, but it is so, so nice to not have to work (I have worked a little a few weekends but swore it off completely for Lent). Two weeks ago we went out and brunched hard, just the three of us, just because we could.
• We have started watching Lost. We cannot stop watching Lost. We are addicted to watching Lost. We are just about to start season 2, so we have only 50 or 60 hours of television to catch up on before the series finale. We are confident in our ability to be this lazy (see above re: weekends) so NO SPOILERS, people.
• I have started getting together with the other wives of Aaron’s “Jedi Council” seminary posse. We are the Sacred Sisters…of the Traveling…Husbands…or something. We just hang out one night a week with no agenda other than to find out what’s going on with each other, pray, and breathe in the sweet sweet air of a quiet, comfy home that’s not littered with plastic kid junk, sippy cups, and wet mittens. I think it has been just what we all needed. Why should our husbands have all the fun–and all the support? I am getting to know people at work at church, but it’s hard to get involved in anything with them or coordinate much to see old friends, even though in theory we are not that far from GR. So it’s good to have these friends who are going through a lot of the same things and who live right here by us.
• Aaron preached at our church for the first time today and he did great! He didn’t even seem nervous (you’ll have to ask him if he secretly was). He preached a number of times at our church in Oregon and has given countless Young Life and youth group talks, but it’s always more pressure the first time in a new place, I think, and our church here is bigger. He didn’t shy from the challenge, though, but took on a crazy hard passage and brought it home strong. Even if he did skip an entire page of his notes! Must be the power of the fauxhawk.
