Well it's been a busy couple of days!  Yesterday was the big Otterbein vs. Capital game.  For those who don't know, Capital is our rival school.  We haven't beaten them (or anybody else, really) for some time now.  But yesterday, in a surprising turn of events in the fourth quarter, we came back to beat them 17-14.  Very excellent.  Things went fairly well for the band too.  In my mind, this was really the first performance, and it had the confusion and difficulties that you would expect from the first game of the season.  All in all, though, everything went pretty smoothly.  Next Saturday we go to the Licking County Festival of Bands.  Fun.

Yesterday was also my younger brother's 16th birthday.  We (Mom, Dad, Kyle, Ashley and I) went out to Pizza Hut after the game and had a good time.  It was nice to have the family here; this was the first time they got to see my dorm for this year, etc.  They also brought me some stuff I really needed as I start this job...

...which easily leads me into today!  This morning, Ashley and I went to New Albany for church.  It was the first time I had actually been to a service there.  Interesting, since I start working there tomorrow and I had never been to church.  But in any case, we went today, and the service was really cool!  It was nice to hear the pastor preach.  She has a very relaxing voice and her sermon was really good this morning.  I can't wait to work there, which is a good thing, because I have a worship planning meeting tomorrow night that will constitute my first official duty for the church.  Yay!

One more thing I want to mention about the weekend in general: I love Ashley Woodard!  Seriously, this girl is amazing!
