A Great Week

There are some weeks that are spectacular, others that are bad. Then others that are great, but not for any particular reason. That was this week for me.

I was to return to work on Tuesday, after my week long Christmas break (which is a great perk of my job), but my boss called on Tuesday night. Since it was a national day of mourning for Gerald Ford all non-essential government offices were closed. Seeing as I work for a non-essential government office, it was closed. It's so much fun to have an extra day off. This is the second time I've gotten an unexpected day off since starting this job 3 1/2 months ago. I love it!

On Tuesday afternoon we drove visit some really good friends that we worked with a couple of years ago. We had a great dinner catching up and talking about ministry. We also got to see their precious little boy.

This week at work I felt like I was able to make some progress in my position that the VP of my department was happy with. And I'm working on several projects that I really like. I got started on a great creative streak on Friday afternoon and before I knew it it was 4:52. I almost didn't want to go home (that never happens).

Friday it was our life groups turn to clean the church. While this doesn't sound like fun, it only takes about 30 minutes, and it's time to hang out with good friends. We went and ate Mexican food and hung out at Starbucks afterwards. Saturday CDK and I just hung out and watched a movie. Though I did watch the Cowboys lose and that wasn't so fun.

Lastly, today, we had a friend we hadn't seen in two years come into town. We had lunch with him and sat for about two hours talking. So a great week with friends, family, and work, can't beat that!
