Got ready, made coffee for Bill and I, read my Bible, then left to go pick up Melissa to go visit Hailey.  Bill left before me to go to our church.   Left Melissa’s house at 10 and had a nice ride together and a good visit.  We got to Hailey’s apartment a half hour before church started, so visited there a while.  I’m so happy she has such a nice place and nice roommates.  We went to her church and she was looking for donuts for us, but there weren’t any.  The biggest service was just before the one we were at.  We went and sat down, then Hailey thought she saw someone with a donut, so we went and checked again.  No donuts.  We went back in and Hailey’s roommate sat next to her.  The worship started and was awesome!  They sang a few Elevation Worship songs and they were amazing.  Then they had 50 baptisms between all three campuses.  Lots of young people got baptized at the church we were at.  They wrote two words out that were showed on the screen.  One word represented before coming to know Jesus and the other one represented after.  Some were sin/forgiven, confused/connected, broken/whole, and many more that really were touching.  Jesus does so much in a person when they are Born Again!.  The message was amazing.  When the service ended, we went out to leave and Hailey checked one more time for donuts and there were lots there, so we each took one.  Yay!  We went to the Texas Roadhouse to eat after church.  We got in right away and sat down.  Hailey had a hamburger, Melissa had chicken strips (which she said were the best she’s ever had) and I had delicious smothered chicken.  We all loved all the rolls and were stuffed by the time we got done.  We had a very nice waitress.  We all took food home.  Melissa sent one chicken strip for Bill to try.

We went back to Hailey’s apartment and met Dude, Jenna’s lab puppy.  He was excited at first, but calmed down and was such a good dog after he was used to us.  Hailey showed us her room and the upstairs bathroom.  We went downstairs and visited with each other and Jenna.  We went to Walmart and Hailey got some groceries she needs to make a yummy dinner this week.  We only shopped the outside of the grocery department so Melissa and I were freezing.  Hailey got all heathy stuff.  We went back to Hailey’s apartment and Melissa and Hailey put the ornaments Melissa bought Hailey on the tree.  Melissa took 3 duplicate ornaments home that she liked.  We left for home around 4:30 before it got dark out.  We sure had a great time.  Hailey was cute and told us to let her know when we got home.  She gets that from us.  We got it from my mom.  

We had a nice drive back.  We stopped at McDonalds and got their new flavor Frappe’.  I couldn’t pronounce it, so I asked the kid taking my order how to pronounce it.  He said he didn’t know either.  It was Dulce de leche.  I’m sure Melissa and I were close in our pronunciation lol.  We sure had some laughs.

I dropped her off and I reminded Melissa to let Hailey know we were home.  I went to the door and Evan told me hi.  I watched a video of him doing some amazing flips at a new place he went to that teaches him the correct ways to do them.  They told him he had the one down perfectly.  

I stopped and picked up my prescription after I dropped Melissa off.  I went inside because the outside line was so long.  I came home after that and gave Bill a big kiss and gave him the chicken strip from Melissa.  I let Hailey know I was home and sent her and her mom the pictures I took.  I was glad to be home sweet home and in my recliner.  It was dark by the time I got home and it was only 6.

Kimmy sent me pictures of Adam and Jacob with their girlfriends from last night.  I sure was happy since I forgot to take any.  Thank you Kimmy.
