I'm caught up!!

I can't belive it! I'm finally caught up! This post is going to be about the past 2 days!

Dave and I decided several months ago that we desparately needed a vacation! After the hectic summer schedule that we keep, we needed some down time. I'm starting nursing school in the Fall and he's going to be teaching a couple of classes at GCBI, our local ABA seminary, in Hattiesburg. So a vacation will be out of the question for the next while.
Dave also wanted to use this time as kind of a working vacation so he can get his ducks in a row for his classes, so we decided to spend a little time just chilling and then the other time working.
We left home last Thursday and went to Tuscaloosa to spend the night. We stayed there until Saturday around lunch and then hit the road to Atlanta. One of the things that Dave has wanted to do was go to church at North Point Community Church where Andy Stanley pastors. So we came over to Atlanta to hear him--and we weren't disappointed. Today we went to the 11:00 service, and although Andy was at a different campus and we saw him through live feed--it was great! Very different from our worship service back home, but it has been a long time since we just sat in pews and soaked up God's word and participated congregationally in the worship. It was wonderful. If you're ever around Atlanta over a weekend--check it out! They are actually in Alpharetta, but easy to find! The church website is www.northpoint.org.

Tomorrow, we're going to Six Flags to ride huge roller coasters, then back to Birmingham, where we'll stay until probably Thursday. Dave will be able to work at the library at Samford where he is very familiary with their extensive religion section! His goal is to come home with his syllabi done! I'm going to hang out at the hotel and Lifeway (across the street from the hotel) and enjoy my leisure time. From what I hear, this will be all I get for a while!
I'm enjoying this vacation!

I'll keep you posted!!!
