The Weekend Ahead

One of the great things about being single, free, and independent is that I can make plans however I want to for the weekends. I've sufficiently stacked my social calendar for tonight, Saturday, and Sunday.

So, here's the plan: After work I'm going straight to Grayton Fitness, because before I can have any fun I have to train. There is one particular "yummy" guy at my gym who keeps me motivated to push a little harder. We haven't spoken yet, but I'm sure he's just working up the courage to come over and interrupt my rigorous workout ;) At least that's what I tell myself. From there I will go home to shower and get dressed up like a redneck - I might need some pointers from some of you - for a Redneck Riviera themed birthday party at Point Washington. I'll have to pack something a little more upperclass to change into and meet up with some girl friends later. I will possibly stay at the Palms in Destin with some other friends who got a suite for the weekend.

Chad has informed me that there will be surf tomorrow, so it will be an early morning breakfast at Amavida Coffee Shop then out to the waves. This is good news because I bought a wet suit a while back and have only used it a couple times. I'm looking forward to the "cost-per-use" going down.

Then at 2 my friend Andrew and I have organized a beach get together at Grayton for his birthday. I invited about 70 people, so I'm interested to see who shows up with such short notice. We'll spend the day playing and relaxing and then when the sun goes down we have plans for a beach bonfire. There will be another party down there having a bonfire. It's an engagement party for Alys, who I work with, so I'll be mingling between the two groups. When we run out of firewood, we'll head over to Red Bar (don't worry. it's more of a restaurant than a bar) to hang out and listen to the band.

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

Sunday after early service, a group of us are going to brunch back at the Red Bar, where Dread Clampit will be playing some tunes. Yummm! Eggs Benedict there is the best! Once our food has settled we've determined that we will run 10 miles in preparation for the Seaside Half Marathon next weekend. The finish line is my house, where we will probably just crash and watch tv for the remainder of the day. I'm tired just thinking about it!


On a different note: Please pray for Adam. He's Jeremy Touchstone's good friend. Pray that he will encounter God during this time and give his life to Him. Also, please pray for my friend Geoff. He's a flight surgeon for the Air Force Special Ops and he will be deploying this weekend to Iraq. His job is less than safe, so we'll all be glad to have him back in 90 days !
