Great Weekend!

Taryn got in Friday from Beta convention a little after 3pm and went straight to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Her dance was over at 4:30, but she and the other 6th grade dance team members stayed to work at the 7th & 8th grade dance. Taryn & Rachel worked the picture table, and other girls worked the concession booth. My friend Liz picked Taryn up at 7:30 when that dance was over because Rich and I went to our awesome married couples bible study at Mark & Kim Ammons house. We had "extreme nacho" night. We had a great time, like we always do. Two new couples came...our group just keeps on growing and that is great. When we left there, I called Liz to tell her we were on our way to get Taryn, and she said Taryn had been asleep since 8:30. Come to find out, she had stayed up til 2am in the hotel the night before...I guess she was tired.

Saturday, Rich had to be at the church for 7am for the car prep. I heard all about it when he got home that afternoon. What an awesome outreach this is to the community. About 120 women showed up (single moms, widows, & military wives) to have their cars serviced. BP donated all the oil and O'Reily's donated all the parts. A couple of the cars that Rich and his team worked on needed new batteries...no problem...on another car they replaced the badly worn brakes...no problem...new wiper blades...oil changes...checking tires, filling up fluids, then washing the cars, and cleaning the inside. I could go and on...all FREE. And while the men are working on the cars the ladies get to go inside and be pampered. They got massages, manicures, pedicures, food & gifts. The best story that I heard was that a lady was passing by and her car broke down right in front of the church. She had no idea what was happening that day. I'm sure she was a bit confused about what was going on and why people wanted to fix her car for free and pamper her while she waited. God placed her in that exact spot for a reason. Maybe to get her attention. I think He got it. My heart can't help but smile when I think about it...when I think of all the women who were served on Saturday...all for God's glory! How awesome...I'll be posting pictures tomorrow.

At our Saturday evening service I worked "guest services", which is always fun. Then Liz and I went to see "Made of Honor" with Patrick Dempsey. It was very cute...and fun to have a girls night away. Thanks to my great hubby for not minding that I went and watching the kiddos. He's the bestest!

Sunday morning we all got up and went to church, then we ate at CiCi's, went to Petland, Big Lots, Ross, Target, Walmart and then back to Big Lots. We got home after 6:00 and then did yard work.

Tonight is the last HP women of the semester. But Pamper Night is coming Monday, June 9th. That is great night to invite ladies who wouldn't normally come to church. Tons of give-aways, food, fun and pampering!
