the weekend

friday at 5 cindy came over and we went to johnny carino's for dinner in san marcos. they have especially yummy italian bread that comes with olive oil and garlic for dipping into. then we headed over to massage envy where i took my bride (as her maid of honor) for her first massage. we had a couples room. it was extremely wonderful. afterwards we rented fool's gold and ps i love you. we watched fool's gold (not as bad as i thought but still pretty *roll your eyes*). then we shared my air mattress and fell asleep while reminiscing about all the things we used to play at cindy's chestnut, cameo, & fire mountain homes, grandma braswell's home, and here at 1729.

we woke up, took showers, had coffee, and headed off to irvine the next morning to meet up with kayti and two of her other bridesmaids whom we had never met (the third one was unable to come). they were very nice and kayti had us play a quiz about her and jason where cindy and i tied for highest. kayti also gave us gifts of cute starbucks mugs with m&ms. we walked around the spectrum for awhile and then departed.

cindy and i drove to cindy and chris' new place in rancho s.m. and went to the pool for some sun and nap time (or pop-bubble-on-iphone time for cindy). then we showered and chris took the three of us to dinner. chris' meatloaf was four times as big as his fist as well as his mashed potatoes and veggies. i had a prime rib sandwhich that was superb. we walked back over to their house aferwards and played a rousing game of nerts and blackjack. it was great. cindy and i slept on the living room floor in our sleeping bags.

sunday morning (this am) i left cindy and chris' and drove up to torrance to go to church with kayti. church was very God-glorifying, full of truth, and exactly what God wanted me to hear today. it was good to be up in torrance with kayti and see the place where she'll live as jason's wife come november. we had good conversation before lunch, during lunch, and after lunch. then i drove back home.

it was another good weekend and i thank the Lord for His blessings of friendships and good times.

another school week starts tomorrow.

Lord, You are good and Your mercies endureth forever!

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nerts”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
