Two People, One Car....

Or such was the case yesterday morning! David & I loaded up the car and headed up to church. I had bought bagels and orange juice for our Sunday school class, we got the room set up and waited for our classmates. This is our second week to meet, and both weeks have gone really well! I think that David does a great job teaching (not that I'm biased or anything!) Last week, to go along with the anniversary of September 11th, we discussed hate. Yesterday's lesson was about faith in public schools. Since I've worked in schools, the lesson really resonated with me!

After class, we packed up and rushed back to church, in time for me to get ready to sing with the choir. The service was neat, and we had several new people join the church! We then partook in our weekly debate on where to eat lunch! We decided to have Chinese food, then David decided he wanted a haircut. Since there was a wait, I had time to do a mystery shop, go back to the apartment, unload the car and change clothes before heading back to the haircut place. We had just enough time to relax a bit before heading back to church (in separate cars) for youth/children's activities.

Not related (but I'm talking about it here anyway), we went to my grandparents' house on Saturday night! My aunt and uncle were in town from Louisiana this weekend, so we all met over for pizza and visiting. I decided to bring wine and dessert, which was well received by everyone! One of my aunts teaches at a preschool, she and I were comparing stories, and she sent me some great links to some curriculum websites! Another aunt teaches elementary school, all of us were exchanging kid/parent stories. It's kind of neat to be able to talk about stuff like that with the family!

Fun at DFW Airport

David was out of town on a business trip for most of this week. I drove him down to the airport on Tuesday, then picked him up yesterday. I used to be nervous about driving to the airport, but after taking my parents a few times, it doesn't bother me at all.

I gave myself plenty of time to get to the airport, found the appropriate terminal and parked. What was annoying, was that the airlines that David flew in on was so small, that his city and flight wasn't even listed on the airport website. There was only one terminal for that airline, so I figured that I was in the right spot. I pulled out my book and waited. (I also counted at least twenty people talking on a cell phone in the terminal.)

David called me to let me know his plane had landed and he was on his way to the baggage claim. I was excited to see him walk through the door! After picking up his bag, we made our way home. He showed me a picture of the plane he rode. It seated 18 people, including the pilots. There was no flight attendent, beverage cart or peanuts. It sounded like an interesting trip. While I did enjoy some time alone, I was very glad to have David home again!
