Fun weekend!

It's Saturday evening after a fun couple of days 'off.' It's hard to justify a day off when I was sick all week, but Sunday seems to take it out of me so it'll even out I suppose...

Yesterday was great! I woke up early as I was excited, so went to the gym for a while. Then Elizabeth and I went to a college girl's house to do Zumba!! She led a few of us, it was fun to dance and exercise, but I was drenched from head to toe. SO humid in NC.

I went to visit Mike at his aunt's place. It's in Leland, a good 30 mins or so from here, not too bad. We spent the afternoon at Carolina beach. It was a lot of fun - the sun was out but wasn't too hot actually. Got some rays, hit some waves, ate a donut, and played in the arcade. We didn't get to do the cute little two-seater bike, but maybe another time... we enjoyed a wonderful dinner of Mahi Mahi at Two Guys Grille. It was so moist we weren't sure it was cooked all the way - usually I cook it till it tastes like a piece of shoe leather. Ew. We then went on a wild goose chase looking for a movie theater, but there wasn't one actually there... no one seemed to have heard of it actually existing, but "maybe" it did. Lol.

This morning, Mike went golfing with a friend - both were celebrating a break from work. Brian, his friend, will be beginning a position with the EPA in a couple weeks, and he seemed excited to play. Tomorrow is his birthday, so it was a fun way to celebrate. I just went to the gym, but had a great workout. I was super sore from the other day, so it felt good to stretch out. I got back and watched the USA play England. It was an OK game, I wish the USA looked a little crisper but still held England to a tie. All three games this morning were ok... I thought Argentina dragged out the game too much. Maybe just conserving energy.

Spent the afternoon hanging out with Mike and the Blakes and Elizabeth with her boyfriend. We all enjoyed watching some golf, baseball, and visiting. Mike got to try the top-shelf Bourbon, and there was a great assortment of drinks, cheese and crackers. Even a white wine from South Africa - how great! We had a seafood boil with shrimp and veggies - SO yummy! And fresh challah bread -- yummo.

Heading to bed soon as I need to lead worship tomorrow -- don't want to be tired. Great day. And great two days with Mikey Mike!
