A Good Weekend

This weekend has been relaxing and we've done a few very important and necessary things. First of all, we found a great Orthodox church only 40 minutes away from where we are staying (and our condo will only be a short distance further). Since my wife and I are used to driving an hour and 45 minutes to church, this is a big change. 40 minutes is a distance we could drive every Sunday if we wanted to. We went last night and this morning and have met a lot of great people and the priest seems really energetic, friendly, and on top of things.

After we went to church last night, we found a Mexican restaurant in Easley (Cinco de Mayo if anyone wants to try the place) that the girl at the bank had recommended. This place had some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever eaten! This may not seem like such a big deal to some of you, but our biggest concerns about moving were finding a good church and a good Mexican restaurant. Mexican food is an integral part of my life, so integral, in fact, that I think that if there were no Orthodox Church, I would go to the best Mexican restaurant I could find and worship the Lord there. Would that make me Catholic or just strange?

But, no worries, because we have found an Orthodox church, so I do not have to convert to Mexican-food-based-Christianity.

Having already picked out a place and one that won't be open until August, we've got a lot of down time, now. I resumed my Netflix subscription and rented the first season of Deadwood. This is a really good show. I wish I had gotten into it earlier. A guy at work last year kept saying he was going to let me borrow the first season, so I never rented it, and he never brought it, but now I've rented it (did anybody follow that?). I guess I'll go watch some more Deadwood, now. I hope everyone else's weekend has been as good as mine.
