So, the funny story is that Tom and I don't go out to eat alone on dates much and when we do it's to somewhere "frugal."  Since our 17th anniversary is Saturday, we decided to go eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Santa Fe Cattle Company, for lunch. They have nice specials and it's much less expensive than dinner time.  Well, guess what?  They've decided to no longer serve lunch, lol.  So we went next door to Firehouse Subs. The subs were wonderful but the fun part was drink machine.  It's truly amazing. There are over 120 choices of drink flavors. For example, they had orange, cherry, vanilla, cherry-vanilla, lime, and raspberry diet coke. The machine is high tech and has a touch screen.  I need to take the kids there and buy them a drink just so they can play. Truly, it is the little things that please me!


Our church has its annual Charge Conference tonight along with two other churches in Rome. Tom is preaching for the service in front of the District Superintendent and the other pastors and is a bit nervous.  So, we talked about Scripture, following Jesus, serving him, the state of the church, etc. during lunch.  I absolutely love it when we take time as a couple to brag on the Lord!!


I ran an errand to get gas and pick up some toiletries for the kids later in the afternoon. The morning was spent on some different type school things(Algebra mostly), laundry, and doing some final cleaning.  And Mom and Dad, if you're reading the doggies got a bath today in preparation for your visit so we're all looking forward to seeing you.


Today's workout:  LBN Metabolic Cardio (cardio intervals).  No dog walk as Maddie bathed Tucker later in the day and I didn't want to walk him in the windy, cooler weather.  Thank goodness Wes walked him this morning.
