Reflections on Drowned Rats

I think that God may have made it difficult for us to schedule support appointments this weekend for a purpose. For the most part, Kathi and I did nothing. Friday and Satruday we spent most of the afternoon watching the second season of Lost (greatest show ever). Now that the weekend is over we realize that we desperately needed some down time to recuperate from the past couple of weeks.

It wasn't all DVDs and lounging in bed. Instead of "raises" or "bonuses" Kathi's work gives all of its employees a free day at Six Flags Great America. So, yesterday we trodded out in the rain and cold to go to an amusement park. Now, I know it doesn't sound like an ideal day, but it was actually awesome. The park was practically deserted and there were no lines for the coasters, which were still running! We rode almost every ride in the park in about 2 hours, some multiple times. It was sweet!

By the time we left the park, we were soaked to the bone. But, I tell you, there's nothing like a steaming shower and cocooning in your bed after spending a day in the rain. Great weekend!
