Weekend!

Well, It has been a while since Cody and I had a date. I know we don't have children and so many people think we don't need a date night but that is really not true...especially since we live with 5 other people (and a dog, just in case you forgot)! I think it's so important to plan a night that is just for us because we are always with people...family, friends, pastors, youth pastors and/or students. That being said, Friday night after a long week of work on the Lit Conference, we went on a date! The Melting Pot is one of our favorite spots! It's sooo yum! The fiesta cheese is off the chain! Spicy! After dinner we went to the movies and you will never guess who we ran into...my family! Yes, we ended up in the same movie with my family! We saw "Mad Money" and it was cute and entertaining. 

Saturday we really should have been house hunting but we just didn't feel like it so we chilled at home! Then we prepared for the social event of the year. I can't even believe we received an invitation! The BIG event was Princess Addie Hixson's 4th Birthday party! It was so cute and as usual, Cody and I felt really out of place as the couple with no children. When we walked in the door and the kids started screaming with joy Cody immediately said "Well, see ya later"! However, we did stay for most of the festivities (which explains the picture with the tiara and crown)! Happy Birthday Addie (I'm sure your Mom will pass this message to you)!!!

Sunday was great! The series, titled Choreography, has really spoken to me. It is one of my favorites so far and God has used it to speak to me about adding to my faith! I would really recommend everyone listening to it sometime. You can download it on I-tunes by searching Vinings Lake or Pete Hixson! After a great morning we had lunch with friends and then rushed home to change and go to our small group. This week our small group went to MUST Ministries to cook and serve dinner to some great people going through hard times! We made spaghetti (with more noodles than anyone could imagine..seriously...a mountain of noodles), salad, french bread, cookies and carrot cake...thanks to Publix. We all had a blast cooking with our huge plastic gloves! Cody and I loved meeting the people and helping out! It's great to be a part of a church that reaches out to people! After all, that is what "being the church" is all about!!!! I hope they enjoyed our spaghetti! At least it looked edible! 

Hope you all had a fun weekend! Enjoy your week!
