Wow, this past weekend was busy. We decided to celebrate Ryan's first birthday on Saturday because we knew there would be a ton of family around and we were scheduled to take the weekend off from leading worship so it seemed like a good weekend to do it. The Beer clan came in (7 in all) and then my mom and little sis, Karina. Add in the four of us and Jeffy, Charissa, and the nugget and that made for a TON of people in our house. It made me reeeeaaaaallly grateful for our new place and amazingly enough we all fit inside! We had a great little family party and Ry-ry got his first taste of cake and he loved it. I think Josh likes Ry's gifts more than Ry does. So we spent all day Saturday with the family and mom and Karina took off to go home and then it turned out that we had to lead worship on Sunday so we went to church early came home, fed everyone again and then my mom, dad, Karina, and a friend decided that they wanted to go to the city on Monday so they showed back up at 8pm on Sunday night and we all hung out with my family and Robyn (my monther-in-law....who graciously stayed until today to help us recover). I had a ton of fun on Sunday night for sure. It was an unexpected chance to hang with my moms and pops. Then we all got up early on Monday and went to breakfast. While everyone got to go to the city and hang out, I got to go to work....yay. It was probably the busiest weekend we've had in a long time but it was a blast to have everyone here and to actually have enough space for them all!

In other news, I joined a gym on Monday. I've wanted to join one for a long time but I could never find one that had racquetball and basketball as well as all the other junk that you get at a gym. The place I joined used to be a corporate gym where you had to know someone who works in the building to be able to join. I knew this but I just called them on the off chance that I might be able to find someone I knew who could sponsor me to join. Much to my surprise they were actually having open enrollment and I could just walk in and join. So I went to check it out and it was pretty sweet. I still hold every gym to the standard of the 'ol Captial Courts because I think that was the best gym ever. This place is no Capital Courts but it's the best thing I've found since living here in Scotts Valley. So I signed up on Monday afternoon and Heather ended up being out with the boys when I got home for work so I shot over there for my first workout. I showed up at 6:30 and there was hardly anyone there....it was flippin sweet! I ran a couple miles on a treadmill (surprisingly, not that boring) and then shot some hoops for 45min or so. The whole time I was there I hardly saw anyone. I'm not sure if this is going to be a positive or a negative though. It's great to be able to hop on any machine I want, but I'm going to want some people to play bball and racquetball with. I guess I'll have to see what develops. So we'll have to see how long my passion for going lasts. I really just want to start lifting a bit cause I'm tired of getting pushed around when I play my Thursday night hoops game and I think I'm tired of being a weakling. I'm gonna pay for it for at least the next year so I better stay on it and, who knows? The next time you see me I might be all the way up to 170 from my meager 162!

The city? That's San Fran right? And over the hill is San Jose, correct?
Dude, back at the gym. Awesome! Gettin' buffed. Those Capital Court days are good memories. I think we spent more time there than anywhere else.
Remember when that was all that was in that field and now it's a huge shopping center?
Nice work with the local jargon, Mateo!
Those Capital Courts times were in fact most excellent. Remember that cop that we played bball with and he thought he was the bees knees and he was such an overbearing dillweed? Why don't we remember the nice people?
Remember the naked old men at Capital Courts? Makes me wistful.
I don't remember ever enjoying playing basketball there with people I wasn't already friends with.
Governor Bob Miller used to play with us there and he would never pass the ball. I remember him not being very, how do you say it, good.
Those were the days.
i've already gotten to experience the joys of going to the gym....thats right, I got to see a 325lb man in the buff. Good night I dont think I'm gonna go back.
Ah. Fat, bare nekkid old dudes with no butts. Thanks for that.
Scotty, you kind of scare me when you say you "got" to see not "had" to see.
