Hello Weekend!

I think everybody loves the weekend. And Fridays are also wonderful.
Yesturday was a neat Friday for me actually.
At 2:00 pm, my mom and I went out to lunch with a woman named Robin and her mother. (Sadly, I forgot her mothers name :( ) It was pretty amazing listening to the mother's testimony. Their family has had some rough times with their kids. Robin actually has an interesting condition. She has what is called Williams Syndrome. Robin is in her late 40's, but she appears to be much older. She is always upbeat and has a great personality. "Having Robin has been such a blessing. There have been so many miracles." When Robin's mother said that as she smiled at Robin, it was so sweet and humble. Robin and her mother have a very close relationship. We talked a lot about Christianity too. It was really fun and my mom and I really enjoyed getting to know them a little better than a brief "hello" after church.
After lunch, I got to go over to my friend's home. It was actually an assignment I had to do about someone I know who helps the community. Her dad was the perfect canidate. Before and after the interview, Elizabeth and I talked with our moms and did what we do best...eat! :) They are so sweet whenever we come over, or any person comes over. They start getting out all these snacks and drinks. They have such a gift of hospitality for sure. When my mom and I were about to leave, they asked me if I would want to go to see Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland with them. The offer was too great to pass up. A fun movie with fun people!? Yes please! :) We had dinner at Pat and Oscars, which was very good. Then we headed to the theature for the movie. At first, I really could not get into the movie. Which was a bummer because the story of Alice and Wonderland is one of my favorites. But a while later, it got really intense and I was hooked. It was totally different than the original, but it was really neat to see. And the ending is great, which is always a good thing!
So Friday was a good start to the weekend. Although I have a little bit of work to do, It is still nice to have a little bit of a pause from the busy week.

Have a great weekend!!
