My Monday & Tuesday

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to go and visit 5 friends/mentors in the Warren area. All these guys are pastors and I’ve known all of them for a very long time.

My first meeting on Monday began at 7:00 am at Starbucks, one of my favorite places. Meetings at 8:30 and 12 followed. My lunch meeting was at the Mocha House, one of my favorite places in Warren. If you’re ever in the neighborhood I highly suggest going there to grab a bite. Personally, I am a huge fan of the barbeque chicken wrap with seasoned fries and barbeque sauce on the side.

After my lunch meeting I got to swing by the old homestead to see some of my family. After time with them, I was off to another meeting. I then joined my family for a late dinner at a new local diner and crashed at my parent’s house on Monday night.

Tuesday morning brought some fun. I was able to take one of my nephews to preschool. He asked me the night before if I would take him to school in my “fast car.” My car really isn’t all that fast, but to a four year old, it’s pretty fast & fun!

We decided to grab breakfast on the way to school, so we stopped by the local grocery store for some fresh doughnuts. He snagged a chocolate one that was covered in yellow, red and orange sprinkles. When we got to his school he had chocolate all over his face! It was then that I noticed he had the most slamming bag for a four year old. It was an AC/DC black canvas bag. I wish I had taken a picture… It’s not everyday you see a four year old big pimpin’ with an AC/DC bag and chocolate doughnut smeared on his face.  Too awesome!

After the preschool drop off, I was able to spend some time with Ike (Isaac). He’s one and a half years old and pretty darn cute. We jumped on my parents’ golf cart and went around the pond several times and even took pictures:

Then I was off to my last meeting before returning home to Akron.

It was a good trip. Now I need to make plans to go and visit my other nephew and nieces in the near future!
