Quick check-in
Just a quick check-in before I start waking the whole family up to start getting ready for church. Friday, my alma mater, the Northside High School Eagles defeated the Warner Robins High School Demons by the awesome score of 28 - 7! GO EAGLES! My step-daughter got to go to the game with the son of a friend of mine and some of his friends, and I think it was really good for her to get out with people her age and hang out, especially with someone who I know will be a good influence on her. 
Yesterday, my younger kids tested for yellow belt at karate... the testing this time lasted for an hour and a half and they went through EVERYTHING! 
It was A LOT different from the last testing, but I still think that they did GREAT! They knew their moves and their judges nodded a lot when watching them.
We went to a big street festival yesterday afternoon, with live Christian bands, and tributes to first responders and military... It was great. It was capped off last night by a full concert by the group Casting Crowns. The whole evening was wonderful!
This morning I ran 6 miles, and now I have to get going with the day.... we have church and then a cookout/swimming thing... if the weather cooperates for swimming. The kids are really hoping it will, since it's cooling off some and this might be the last chance for swimming this year.
Have a great day and a great week. After this weekend I am looking forward to going back to work so I can get some rest.
