Church,
General I’m a little late posting this, but whatever…I’ve been busy…doing nothing & enjoying my summer! For our July First Family (small group) meeting, we got everybody together and went bowling and out to dinner. A few of us…okay, most of us were pretty hesitant about going bowling because it had been so long since we last bowled and we all thought we would be really bad, but we went anyway and ended up having a blast! Of course it turned into a guys vs. gals competition, and the guys beat us, but us gals really came out to play and gave them a run for their money!
After the bowling adventure, we ventured out to Lupe Tortilla’s for some delicious fajitas and great company. We sat just eating and chatting for couple of hours and really had a lot of fun! Can’t wait until our next night out!

Church,
General,
Pictures Last weekend after spending the morning working in the yard and running errands, we headed down to Sugar Land to the Blackburn’s house for our First Family get together for May. (First Families are our small groups at First Colony). We had an Italian themed meal and we ate ALOT of food. It was a lot of fun to get to hang out, meet new couples, and get to know everyone a little bit better. Even though we had lots of fun, it was a really late night. We didn’t get home until a little after midnight…WAAAY past my usual 9:30 bedtime – hah! Needless to say, getting up for church on Sunday was really hard. Anyways…I really like this group of couples because I really feel like we will all become good friends and hopefully eventually raise our children together.
Sunday morning we managed to pull ourselves out of bed and made it church and Bible class. We used one of the Pappa’s gift cards from our anniversary at Pappasito’s after church and then went back home for some very lovely Sunday afternoon naps. We both managed to sleep for about 3 hours and then drove back to Sugar Land for our class picnic with our Bible class. We had lots of fun. One couple brought their big BBQ pit and grilled burgers, hot dogs, and bratwursts and then the rest of us brought all the fixings and sides. We had probably 75 people there and stayed at the park until we ran out of daylight. It was so great to really get to chat with people in a more relaxed setting and get to know a few people a little bit better.
