If even the GEEKS can get Mariah Carey, all the guys have a chance!

Jon and I listened to The National while going to church and discussing cornbread / library books / gas prices / Nathan / those cool dragons near Fantasy Gardens - they are IMPRESSIVE! He woke up when Steph and my parents got ready to go to the airport, but I fell back asleep. It is so hot that I wonder how people survive at the jazz festival! Got to church and discussed last night with Joey and Danielle, before going into the sanctuary and discussing things with Jeremy and Raymond. (the jazz festival, Tuesday's BBQ, the freezing air con at the Roundhouse yesterday, bringing fleece, liking hip-hop, Mariah Carey, weddings, bubble tea, etc.) Chris, Christon, Winnie, Darren, and Johnny shared in service - it was a nice format change! I was going to talk to Winnie afterwards, but didn't see her - it's the SUNDAY thing, haha!

Greeted Tony in the back parking lot, said hi to Julie M., discussed the summer with Isabel (free food at Tuesday's BBQ? WE ARE SO IN!), and said hi to the kids. Keenan was about to make a treacherous (for him) jump when Maxine scooped him up - Mommy has eyes in the back of her head! Hugged Citrus hello, told Jeff about Steph's impression of intense orientation, and asked Dylan how the coffee shop had been. Jackie said she hasn't been to Pho in a LONG time, and Jonathan lamented the loss of the 7-11. Cordia thinks that the Pho and 7-11 will relocate near our new building since they'll experience a drop in business, haha. Went to Sunday School, where Eric told me that his brother was bad because he breaks everything - he's just too young to know better, kid! Got a ride home with Diven, which was pretty nice of him! (Ray gets back soon after being in Toronto for a month and a half - I thought of him when I saw Matt M. yesterday!)
