Mile Stone

Yesterday was April 1st. I have now officially known my wife for an entire year… Sometimes I catch myself taking a step back from life and saying “Is this real?”. From meeting someone, dating them, getting engaged, then getting married all in under a year. Must have been God, but it still spins my head a little.
Anyway enough married life mumbo jumbo. I love it, but you don’t need to hear about it all the time.
Tonight we are going for the second time to a small group we were invited to by Scott and Chris who just happen to be Dave and Jenn’s best friends from way back in the day. Because it is an Alliance thing Erika has some connection to the people there too as well.
I felt a little guilty going to this group as I felt I should be starting my own little deal but it is really nice to be able to go somewhere with people our own age and not have to lead anything. I consider this my charge up time so I guess that’s ok.
They are studying Purpose driven life, which I am trying to give a chance though it kinda drives me up the wall. I know I need to give it more of a chance and get deeper into the book before a make large and sweeping judgment calls, its just not my style I guess.
I hope the conversation that it spurs with be better than the book itself. Which does actually seem likely. The people seem to be very cool, though we only met them last week at Mr. Mikes.
Any church related function where people order alcohol is A+ in my books. And though it is officially an Alliance Church care group, there is a catholic couple that attends as well as one of the other guys grew up Lutheran, so we do not feel too out of place.
Anyway here’s to hopping, catch’ya kids.
