Weekend/Autumnfest

Since everyone is napping- I can blog my heart out with no interruptions. So, Friday night was strange- for me anyway. I wasn't feeling the greatest and went to bed at 9pm. Maddie went to the game w/Hoeve's, Scott was here chatting it up w/ Ryan, and Mayci was in bed so I figured- why not!?! Perfect opp. to just go to bed! I woke up feeling better on Saturday and was gearing up for the final/rescheduled day of our garage sale. We made up for the rain last Saturday by having it again this weekend. All 3 of us made out pretty well in the end! I was happy with the results and sold most of my 'big' stuff- Lynn even took the bookshelf off my hands at the last minute! Thanks girl!

Saturday night we had our babysitter come over so we could head down to Autumnfest '08 at New Holland Brewery w/ Lamer's. We got there early so we had a delicious dinner- and Kurt had a charred chicken! lol. It was BLACK. I honestly don't know that I would have even tried it like he did. But he was a good sport and tried it w/ obvious charcoal tasting results. lol. They brought him another one right away that looked good on the outside, but really looked as if it still had blood flow on the inside. YUCK. So he just enjoyed his Pumpkin ale, Lynn's pizza and baked beans. Poor Guy! I have to say my French Dip was so tasty, it had chipotle mayo on it- which at first I thought sounded unappealing, but it really was fabulous! I can't wait to go back for more! We ended up paying our tab and heading outside for the live band and after some time chatting and sipping our ciders Lynn had a GREAT idea to go on the Bike & Bar! If you don't know what it is- it's a little trolley looking thing that you sit on and pedal your way around downtown 8th street. It's a workout let me tell ya! It was hilarious after a few drinks! We were laughing pretty hard as everyone was waving and staring at this contraption moving it's way down 8th street with some very loud people on it! lol Good times.

Today was church and Sunday school. It was my first time teaching at Community- I had taught at Harderwyk for a few years before we transferred, so had some experience, but I felt like a dork today! I just didn't know the flow of things and didn't know my partner- who ended up being very nice and I like her alot- but it was just different. I will catch on though and it will be fine! ;)

Sounds like Mayci is talking down there so I will go get my princess up! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Your night out sounds like it was a blast! Some friends of mine from work were going to that too- sounded like fun and I wanted to go, but we had other plans already. Maybe next year.... Glad the 2nd round of the garage sale was successful. Always nice to get rid of stuff.
