Moving & The Muddy Buddy

Moving & The Muddy Buddy

August 11, 2009

Last weekend (July 31 – Aug 1) was what you might call… slammin!

We spent all day Friday and Saturday getting moved out of our studio apartment and into our 2 bedroom apartment just 75 yards up the same street. Big thanks to Caleb, Susan, Dustin, Whitney, Josh, Annie, Haley, and mom and dad Garrington for all the help over the two days. There was a big festival here in Elgin on Saturday that provided free live music on the streets for our movers and the Verve Pipe (yeah Freshmen!) was playing just down the way. To cap things off, we were able to see fireworks outside our living room windows to end our exhausting move. Here’s a quick tour of our new place. We’re anxious for company, so bring it on!

Due to a slight oversight on my part, I was scheduled to preach on Sunday morning which just happened to be the same day that Amy and I had registered for The Muddy Buddy Race. So, after a restless night of sleep in our new place, Amy and I were up at 5:30AM and off to the race.

We actually started at 7:41 and were in the car at 9:18. Caked in mud and grime, Amy and I sped off for the service at Life on the Vine, rolling into the parking lot at 10 for the service at 10:15. Thankfully one of the pastors lives directly across from the church building so we were able to shower there quickly and made it just in time. Here are some pictures from the race.

So, word to the wise, watch your schedules closely!
