Hooray for sleeping in!

Today is Saturday.

Courtney and George are out of town this weekend, so Nick and I decided not to go in until this afternoon hence the ability to sleep late. I woke up sore this morning, and I do believe that's from the filming yesterday. I fell and tackled several people...so I'd say that would be a good contributing factor to soreness.

Nick and I are working on the "Summer KickOff" video. Apparently it's a HUGE deal and I'm getting nervous if the video is going to even be good. I haven't had much experience filming and I'm not sure what these kids will find amusing. All of you know that my sense of humor is quite...different, so maybe they'll like it. It's like a "first impression" to the WSYG of the interns. Clay and Katie's video last year was really good, and it has been hard getting things done with Courtney and George gone. Maybe we'll pull it together!

I'm teaching my first class on Sunday with Nick. We're just going to introduce ourselves and let the kids know what we're all about. I think it'll be good.

I got a chance to meet more of the teens last night. They had a TeaParty in the park yesterday afternoon. Yes, there was actual tea. A few of them I had not seen at church, but they were mostly artsy kids and some were slightly apprehensive that Nick and I were there. You know the whole "woooo church intern better not do anything bad" vibe. Eventually they warmed up and seemed like a fun group of teens. After we went with Jim to play ping pong (or just watch Nick dominate). I tried to play but you know that my hand-eye coordination is somewhat limited. Dylan and Konrad showed up later so it was good to get to spend some time with them.

Nick and I parted ways and I ended up picking Jessie up from the park. I had the house to myself so we grabbed a pizza and watched a movie. She's such a sweet girl and we had a lot of fun getting to know each other. Granted it took us 20 minutes to figure out how to work the DVD player. AJ and the rest of the family came in from the movies. Will asked me to draw a picture of Venom (the saw Spider Man III), which I did. He said that he would pay me back with a Halo lesson, gotta love Will.

Well I better take a shower and get some work done around here. Laundry time needs to happen today as well. Thanks for reading! Be praying about the Summer Kickoff as well as our relationship with these kids!
