Aquariums...and the rest of our weekend

This weekend we bought an aquarium. I'm not talking a goldfish size; I'm talking a 44 gallon aquarium! Keith had a much smaller one before we married and has wanted one for a while now so this past weekend, after seeing one a couple of times at PetSmart that we liked, we finally took the plunge (no pun intended!) on Friday and bought it. Silly me, I thought that you just put your decorations in there, along with the rocks, some water conditioning stuff, the water, and voila! You have an under-the-sea habitat. Not exactly. It took a whole Saturday afternoon, 3 trips to PetSmart, but we finally have an aquarium! With water! And everything is working! Alas, no fish yet, though. That's yet another step. :)

We had a nice day of worship yesterday. We haven't gotten as involved in our current church as we'd like to be. We've lived here a year and began visiting this church during the summer. It's very hard for me to meet new people. I wouldn't label myself as "shy" exactly; I just don't like "new" things. Please pray for us that we will become more involved in serving in this church and we'll find like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ and form friendships with them.

I know what you mean about new people. I'm not a shy person, but I do have a hard time chatting with people I don't know. I wish you the best!!!
