Spending Saturday in my Underwear with Steven Curtis Chapman
Saturday night we went Christmas caroleing with
Steven Curtis Chapman and Mercyme.
Ok, well not really, but we did sing Christmas songs with them. More on that a little later.
With our first official weekend in our new home, I was hoping to spend my Saturday morning like a little boy, in my underwear and watching cartoons. (Sorry for that mental picture.) For the most part, I did. Bella woke up at 5:00 am and she and I never fell back asleep. We went downstairs so Erin could continue her beauty sleep. Bella was entertained with her rawhide, and I was entertained with Ducktales.
Erin woke up around 8:30 and we enjoyed Capn' Crunch together and then put in The Mask of Zorro. Big deal right? Well, to us it was. It has been at least a year since we were able to wake up in our own place and do what ever we wanted to on a Saturday morning. No kids to watch or worry about. (Not counting Bella of course.)
After Zorro saved the day and got the girl, Bella and I headed up stairs for a nap while Erin decided to start to organize our living room. She made some headway and what she accomplished looks great. The only problem is there is so much more to do.
5:00 pm, Erin and I met up with a couple from our Bible study at Cossetta's. Cossetta's (pronounced coe-SET-as) is a popular Italian restaurant in downtown St. Paul. Very good! It's also relatively cheap. Also very good! We did have to wait in-line nearly an hour before we were able to order our food, but it was worth it.
After filling our tummies with Italian cuisine, the four of us walked across the street to where the Wild live (the Excel center). The place was packed with people ready to hear Christmas music. Among those people was Erin's high school friend Angela and her boyfriend.
3 hours later, we were on our way home. Overall the concert was good. It can't compare the Michael W. Smith and Point of Grace, but it was still good.
As much as Erin loved the combination of Mercyme and Steven Curtis Chapman, it wasn't as exciting as meeting up with Ang. It has been a few months since the two have seen each other, and they already have plans to meet up over Christmas vacation.
Looking back, our first weekend together at the new home was a memorable one. It's amazing how much we missed spending alone time together. I do miss Anna but time with my wife will (or at least should) come first.
