Breakfast, Saddles, and Pools

Fridays have always been the best day of the week. Saturdays are great but the anticipation of Saturday (In my humble opinion) makes the day prior that much better.
This last Friday was no exception. Caitlin met me for breakfast at First Watch and we enjoyed lovely conversation over the best breakfast food out there.
I then proceeded to go home and lay around with Huxley for a while. I’ll say too long. But finally I had some motivation and I worked out. Felt great after, as always.
I then went to work and picked up my check which I immediately drove to the bank and deposited. I then headed up to West Chester to have dinner with my family. My sister Karina’s bf Chaz’s parents were in town so the fam had them over for pizza. My mother made 5 pizzas, I ate about 4 pieces. So good.
After dinner, I hung around for a few then headed back to my apt where I started remixing a Canoes song on Garageband. Stuart and I got really into it before my interest died out and I watched tv with Evan and Stuart until I fell asleep.
Saturday morning I woke up at 9:30 am and drove to CVG where I picked up my friend Katie who was flying in from visiting her parents in LA. I dropped her off at her place in Northside then drove up to Montgomery and met Luke at First Watch.
When I say I am addicted to First Watch, I need you to understand that I addicted to First Watch. It is my favorite place to eat, period.
After an amazing breakfast (of course), we went back to Luke’s place where we jumped right into tracking out the core structure to some new songs. It felt really good to be back in the saddle so to speak.
We went to the 4:30 pm Crossroads service where they are currently in the middle of a series entitled “The Good Life”. It was a great service. Everything from the stage set, to the music, and the teaching. I try to go to  the 4:30 service whenever I am able to. It’s really relaxing and refreshing.
We then headed back up north where we ordered Chipotle and hit up the pool at Luke and Sarah’s apartment complex. We ate by the pool and then chilled in the pool for a bit before they left to get ice cream and I headed back down my way.
My boss Jennifer and her husband Brian’s neighborhood was having a block party so I decided to stop by. There were a ton of people out and I hung out around the pool until the fireworks show then headed back to their place and went swimming with everyone. There were a lot of kids there, and I was reminded once again of how much I love hanging with kids. My youngest brother Kameron is 13 so there isn’t a lot of the “kidness” around as much anymore. We played “Jump, Twist, and Dive” and had a biggest and littlest splash contest. After awhile we all headed inside and ate food and watched the Reds hang on to a win. I then headed home and went directly to bed.
