Hockey

Last night we decided to go to one of the Stingray Hockey Games. We went with the Sweitzer's and had a great time. I have to say I don't know much if anything about hockey and it was fun. There was one fight, one almost fight and a lot of slamming into the walls. It was fast paced enough to keep me interested. We will probably go back. Attendance was low b/c of Christmas but I actually liked it without too many people there b/c we got great seats.

Christmas Cafe

Last weekend we had our Christmas Cafe at church. This year the worship team, the youth and the children's choir were the entertainment. It was great but very exhausting. I helped with the food preparation as well as hosting a table and singing in the performance. I had to take a few days and recoup from it.

Christmas Quiz

We took a quiz in our small group last night about how much we know about the Christmas Story. I took 10 of the questions and created a quiz you can take. See the link below.
Good Luck

How much do we really know about the Christmas story?

Stars Hollow

Josh usually jokes with me that the reason I really like living in Summerville is b/c it reminds me of Stars Hollow on Gilmore Girls. Well last night we had an experience that provides me with an example of this. We went to downtown Summerville last night for the lighting of the christmas lights. All of downtown was closed off, people were gathered in the streets, a choir was singing and the mayor turned on the lights of the trees in downtown. People then walked around and enjoyed the lights and listened to music played by our local high school. As you were walking around you would run into people you knew and even a guy that looked exactly like Santa. We ran into the Tuckers and they got a picture of him so I hope they post it on their blog. Anyway, it was a great event for families and it really gets you in the Christmas spirit.

State Finals

Is it me or those some really big high school players. At least 2 of those guys are going to big name universities next year.

Our local high school football team went to the state finals last weekend . We traveled up to Columbia (1 1/2 hrs) to the Gamecock stadium to watch the event. Needless to stay they lost really bad. The coach for Summerville High School is John McKissick.
He is the all time winningest coach. Click his name to read more.
Anyway we did have fun and the weather was really nice. Still not too cold here.
