Weekend in Review

It took me all weekend but I finally talked Paul into letting me use his computer. It's been a while since I've posted one of these blogs, but I've just now started speaking again after learning that we were expecting triplets. I just talked to Christy a little while ago and asked her how she was feeling. Her response was, "Other that the fact that I have three babies in my stomach I feel fine". So now thanks to these blogs, you know a lot more about CrossWay. You know that Paul is a terrible driver, that Chris really can, and does, talk to a tree, that Matt goes on a five day trip with all of his luggage stuck in his back pocket, and finally, that my wife and I are actually expecting triplets.

It's been such a packed weekend, I really don't know where to begin. It all started Friday morning in Winston-Salem, NC as we visited with the folks at Joy FM. They even fed us breakfast when we got there. Thanks Rodney, Mike, Connie, and Chef for inviting us to stop by. Later that night we had a CrabbJam concert in Charlotte. We have really grown to love the Crabb Family and the McRaes over the last couple of months and the three groups together really make a cool concert. The next day at lunch we ate at a soul food restaurant called Mert's, at which I would highly recommend the Carrot Cake. That night we sang in Aberdeen, NC where we met so many nice people. Among them was the Twyman's who after hearing our interview on Joy FM learned that we are avid pizza eaters. After the concert they took us to a local pizza place called Vito's, and I'll have to admit it was one of the best I have ever been to. We even got to meet Vito. After stuffing ourselves beyond the point of uncomfortability, we drove three hours to Myrtle Beach, SC. The church had reserved a really nice beach house for us to stay in. We arrived at about 1:30 am, but it took me about 45 minutes to get the keys out of the night safety box. Needless to say the guys gave me a hard time and said that it was my fault that we didn't have enough time to really enjoy the place. Right now we are on the road between MB and Columbia, SC after leaving the concert at Surfside Presbyterian Church. It was great to get to see so many of the friends we made while living there a few years ago.

Check the web site some time monday and we'll have some new pictures for you.

Until we blog again,
Marty
