Lovely Weekend

Our church, Family Church Bryant (www.familychurchbryant.org), had it's annual Married Life Weekend at Lake DeGray. We had a wonderful time! I have been to Arkadelphia several times, but never to Lake DeGray- it is GORGEOUS! Sorry, I forgot to bring the camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it. We rode up with our friends, Christina and Fernando, and we stayed in the lodge at the lake. The weekend opened Friday night with a 50's Theme- complete with poodle skirts, white tees, and slicked back hair. We played the Newlywed Game (Yerik and I tied for first place with another couple) and then had a Sock Hop. The next day, we continued the weekend with a couple of sessions taught by our pastor, then headed home at noon. It was really nice, despite the fact that I started experiencing "symptoms" Friday night, and they were at full force Saturday. I'm not sure if it's allergies or a cold, but it had me laid up the rest of the weekend.

Thanks to Uncle James and Auntie Sara, we had free babysitting while we were away. They took Ellis to his b-ball game Saturday, and the Angels won 25-5!! Ellis had 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 points. Way to go, Little Hooper!
