All work and no play....

After putting in a 65 hour work week, the weekend wasn't much different! I started off the week in a very chilly Grand Rapids, Michigan, which was buried beneath at least 6 inches of snow! After a successful all day workshop with a customer, I got home around 9:30pm on Monday night. Tuesday was crazy, which was followed by 2 full days of meetings in our headquarters that was attended by a number of Googlers. Prior to their arrival, my company's owner revealed a brand new games room for us to make use of in our breaks! This room includes table-tennis, a pool table, shuffle board, a bowling lane, arcade games, a professional golf simulator, basketball hoops game, a motorbike game, air hockey and more!

Not too shabby! The rest of the work week was still hectic, and did not present me with any opportunities to visit our new games room :(
When the weekend finally arrived, there was not too much time to just lie back and relax! Liesel and I went out to dinner on Friday night, but after a quick meal, I dragged her around to about 4 different stores in search of a new TV for us. Unfortunately, there was nothing that I saw that met my needs. On Saturday, Nathan and I did a bit of shopping, and then again took up the search for that elusive TV. That TV did not present itself, but we did stop and enjoy a delicious frozen yogurt together! That evening, Nathan decided that we needed to go eat out at Applebee's for his Family Fun Night.

Sunday was another stunning and unusually warm February day with temperatures flirting with the lower 40's (6C). We went to church and were treated to another professional production of Kidstuf. This is held once a month for the children, and it contains a number of skits centering around the month's virtue, which currently is honor. The productions are always well rehearsed, well presented, and include a full set, a variety of props, sing worship songs, and some special time set aside for the "family huddle" when parents sit with their children to discuss the skits and answer some preset questions about the virtue, We are really enjoying our new church, and the importance they place on the children's ministries!
Finally, the day ended with the most watched television event in the USA, the Superbowl! Naturally Nathan and I were glued to the TV, and Liesel brought our dinner to us in the living room! Later on, Liesel made some homemade doughnuts and also delivered them to the living room for us to enjoy! What a great way to end the weekend!!
