A GREAT Ending to a Rough Day!

Sunday afternoon was a little rough around here. Our beloved Tennessee Titans lost their first game of the season...and it was terrible. We don't get to see them very often on TV because they aren't the regional team, and so we had been all excited all week long that they were actually playing our game. But then it was a disaster. We got beaten pretty badly by the Jets. Sad. At least we're still 10-1...and it's just a game, right? The other good news is that we play again on Thursday - Thanksgiving day! We play Detroit, which hasn't won a game YET this season, so hopefully the outcome will be much better!!!

But then things got much better!!! We had our first "social" last night with our new small group. We started this group about 6 weeks ago - not having any idea if any one would show up. We just knew that God was calling us to do this to provide a group for other young couples and families wanting to get plugged in and grow together. It truly has been so refreshing and encouraging to David and I to see how it has grown. We have had 20 people come, and are really enjoying getting to know them better. 5 of the couples were able to join us for a potluck dinner and game night last night. The fellowship was great, the food soooo yummy, and only the outcome of Pictionary was a downer (the guys pulled off a come-from-behind victory at the end...). We look forward to more fun in the future as we grow together!

Andrea (her husband is deployed right now), Kristina & Steve (and their baby Addysen), Mary & Charles, Laurel & Nathan. Somehow I didn't get Shawn & Jennifer in the picture - I think they were sitting by David & I on the opposite side of the couches.
My kids had their "own" potluck in the kitchen while we ate - yummy! Then Callie went to bed, and the boys got to watch a movie on the portable DVD player in their room. It was QUITE a treat! They did great!
