Sunday we got to visit Grace Heartland Church, which was good since Chris has lots of friends there. It was nice to get to see everyone. They grabbed Chris at the door since they were short a bass player. He agreed to play. He said the first song was a disaster since he hadn't practiced with them, but the other songs went okay. After church we had lunch and took a road trip to Louisville to visit Guitar Center. Chris' dad had some potential business to attend to there, and he thought Chris would enjoy looking around. Chris had time to scope out his next potential instrument. He just got his solid wood guitar, so he has moved on to dreaming for a bass amp.
Sunday night we visited some more over dinner and puppy time with Penelope and Dutch, and Chris and I drove back to Bowling Green later that night.
Monday I made a pot of pinto beans (yum!) and some cornbread, did laundry, and vegged out at home while Chris went to Spencer's Coffeehouse to get some planning and grading done. It seems his work as a teacher never ends. He's doing a great job, but between teaching, grading, planning, commuting, commitment to serve at church, an insane running schedule (he's still marathon training when he has time), and just everyday stuff that one is expected to accomplish, I can tell he is exhausted.
We had a nice relaxing weekend. It was my first Labor Day off in several years. The last three I worked the 5K Run for Sight since my last company, Downing-McPeak was always the title sponsor. Last year I had just left DMVC the week before to work for WKU, but I still volunteered to help them through the Run for Sight race. I have to say that I missed it a little this year. On the other hand, it was pouring down rain that morning, and it sure was nice to not have to get up at 5 a.m. to set up!
Some pictures from the weekend:
Sorry they are low res. They were taken with my iPhone.
Looks like a nice time! I wish I could have been there with all of you!
