I had quite the long couple of days this weekend. Most of that time was occupied by studying for Greek quiz this morning. I worked at Crooked Tree on Saturday morning, and watched quite a bit of football this weekend as well.
I had two extremely high points this weekend. The first was getting to see one of my good buddies BJ Rector tie the knot on Saturday evening. It was a great ceremony that was performed by one of our close friends, Zack Nigliazzo. I got to see a ton of random people that I haven’t spoken to in a really long time, and some that I thought I would never see again. And was privileged to attend the greatest wedding reception that I will ever attend, this will probably include my own. We were treated to complimentary valet parking, a massive buffet that included all-you-can-eat shrimp cocktails and brisket sandwiches, free wine, and a kick ass performance by the 80s cover band, The Spazmatics (found here). Thank you BJ & Karen for a killer party!
The other high point of the weekend was getting to participate in Northwood Church’s home makeover. This 24 hour project took place in Haltom City, near Fort Worth. Around 1,000 volunteers descended on four house in this low income area of Ft. Worth to completely remodel the houses of some very needy families. Northwood has been partnering with Haltom City for several years now.
I was put in charge of remodeling the doorway to the attic. I was not able to take a picture, though there was a gentleman taking pictures of my work. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post those later on, if I can get my hands on those photos. For someone who has no knowledge of how to build that out, I was pretty impressed with my work. I think I’m going to go out and buy a table saw now.
