The weekend was busy, but good.  We left on Friday night for Cincinnati after we both got home and I packed.  We stopped for dinner on the way and then got downtown and checked into our hotel.  We relaxed on Friday night, went to the Newport Aquarium on Saturday morning, then spent the rest of Saturday just bumming around or exploring the sites of Cincinnati.  We checked out on Sunday morning and drove to Cedarville for a family birthday party.  We got to Mom’s house about 10:30 and almost went up to church, but didn’t.  Turned out to be a good idea, though, because my parents walked back in about 10:50…there was a water main break in the middle of town and the church was on the one block it affected…so they cancelled the rest of church for the day!

Karen & Erik and Chris & Deb and the girls joined us and we had a good time over dinner and dessert and presents.  It was fun to just stand around and laugh.  We headed back to Columbus about 4:30 and then went to small group at 6:00.  That ran late, so we got home about 8:45.  And then I went to bed! 

It was a great weekend, though.  We splurged on everything (valet parking, room service on Saturday night, buying what we wanted, etc.) and just enjoyed being together.  It was nice way to celebrate turning 30, I think!  Now, however, it’s back to teaching…but only about 2 weeks until Spring Break! Yay!!!!
