good morning!

Hello, friends!
I've been up since a bit after 5 this morning, which has given me the motivation (i.e., I have already done everything there is to do...) to write another blog post.

Last weekend was great! On Friday night, we went up to Boca Raton (where Monday's Presidential Debate will be held!) to hang out with the ever-fabulous Joanna Beasley! She was hanging out on tour with Britt Nicole (featuring Group 1 Crew and Royal Tailor) for the Florida shows and invited us to come spend some time with her. It was really great! Jo is a very dear friend to us, and having someone from home be here and take time to see us meant a lot to us.
Then on Saturday, we booked it out to Tampa! We crossed the Tampa Bay on an incredible bridge, aptly named the Sunshine Skyway, and meandered our way to Land O' Lakes, where the pastors of Oasis Tampa live. They invited us into their home, fed us steak (as you all know, a good steak goes a long way towards us loving you forever...) and generally just spent time with us. It was great! We discussed some church logistics and such, as we are in Florida for "business"... But, there was college football on and lots of just goofing around. It was great.
Sunday morning, we went to Oasis Tampa for a service. The facility they have is awesome and fits their demographic as a church really well. Justin let worship and we were able to get to know the congregation a bit before we headed out to the football game!
The game itself was fun, because we were in the 3rd row, nearly in the center of the end-zone. Prime seats! You could practically smell the turf! However, the Chiefs, headed up by none other than Notre Dame's Brady Quinn, lost miserably. There were a few KC fans around us, and the Bucs fans were pretty cool and not nearly as drunk and pissed off as the Colts fans we sat next to last year were... However, that fine afternoon in Tampa was disgustingly hot with little cloud cover or breeze... So, we pretty much baked. We both have pretty gross-looking farmer's tans and our sunburnt noses are just now starting to look completely normal again. Regardless, an NFL game is always a fun experience.

This weekend, nothing big on the schedule. Justin and I have been watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix, so we'll probably watch a couple episodes of that. The Chiefs have a bye-week, so I don't have to worry about them losing and Justin getting all (more) sad. We'll have a meeting with Oasis Miami tomorrow and of course, service on Sunday. And thats about it!
