Movin' right along...

This past weekend was "Move Central" - Two couples in our church were moving into new homes, and I was fortunate to be able to help out both for a bit. I love helping people get into new homes. To me, the oft-scoffed "work party" really is the truth. It is so neat to be able to come alongside your friends to help them in that most basic of need... to get a roof over their head... and a 400 lb armoir in their living room! :-)

On Friday I painted doors at Brandon and Abby's new place. Some might tell you that the doors are left to the most talented artisan. Those people are liars. It's the easiest job on the planet, but I was happy for the low-stress work!

Saturday brought our friend's John and Heidi moving into their new place. They got a good crew together, provided the necessary staples for any move (Doughnuts and Pizza), and made the day a lot of fun!

Pizza will get you everywhere with people!

I topped off the evening by heading downtown to the Padres game with my buddies from work. Padres lost 5-nil in an anemic performance, but the game was a sell-out and being San Diegoans, nobody really cares THAT much about sports, so they were doing the wave, having fun, etc. Good times!

Tee-shirt night at Petco - gotta love that!

So you might be saying to yourself, "Hey, isn't this Brent AND KAT in California? Where's the better half?" Alas, my dear wife was slaving away at the lab all weekend. Her qualifying exam is on May 23rd, and she is working so very hard on her proposal. Say a prayer! It's due to her committee on Wednesday!

I'll be sure to note your ardent love of lifting heavy things in either a couple months or a year and a couple months. -Kirstin
