Weekend Happenings

Earlier this week we had a cookout; yesterday we had a cook-in. My (Ryan) mom and sister came over and we fixed Ragu Casserole, garlic bread, and a Texas cake. I fixed the casserole (with some coaching from Christi) while Christi prepared and cooked the texas cake. Both were delicious. In case you were wondering, our ragu casserole is sort of a mix between spaghetti and lasagna. The Texas cake is sort of like brownies with some extra things added to the recipe. Come over some time and we'll make them for you! The meal went well and everyone enjoyed it.


This morning we went to a "new" church. We've been going with some of Christi's family to a church they grew up in, although it has since changed names and moved, but it doesn't have much to offer for a couple our age. The church we went to this morning we have been to several times a few years ago, but we didn't feel connected like we wanted too. However, some friends of ours we know attend there and invited us to come back and try their new Sunday school class, which is geared for couples our age. Because our friends were out of town, we only went to the regular service this morning. We both really enjoyed it and are planning on going back again. Since my grandparents also go there, we went out to lunch afterward with them along with Christi's parents, Jason, and her grandmother. The place we went - Jeneane's - is a local "country cookin" restaurant that is pretty good but also incredibly crowded on Sunday's. I chose that place to eat without thinking about the wait we would have with 8 people. When we arrived the line was out the door (literally), but overall we were seated fairly quickly and treated to a good meal.


Today at our clubhouse / pool area the neighborhood association is hosting a "Sundae Sunday." We are planning on going to that this afternoon to mingle with the neighbors (and get free ice cream!) We haven't met a lot of people who live here so hopefully this event will allow us to make some new acquaintances. It should be a lot of fun and the sundaes will be a great compliment to the hot and humid weather we are having today.


Also happening today some of our friends - Megan as well as Kam and his girlfriend Lindsey - are supposed to be stopping by to check out our new place. Plus, my grandparents are supposed to be dropping by this evening to check out our new living room furniture. So, it looks like today will be another busy day! If you want to stop by give us a call!
