Weekend Life

I loved Amy's post today and thought I'd share my own version.

Our weekend has held:

A graduation

Saying goodbye to many friends 

The end of our Pastors' Convention(therefore all the goodbyes)

Conversation...both the shallow, just-catching-up type and also the deep, hours-long kind
Encouragement from a blog follower IRL (don't be a lurker anymore, wink)

Friends-movie nights with brownie sundaes(YUM!)

Family

Yard work...oh so much yard work

Cleaning out the shed

A beautiful back yard(ready for summer entertaining & play)

Obadiah's first experience outdoors...he then fell asleep in a laundry basket for hours later

SUNSHINE

Some amazing rare finds at a neighbors' estate sale

Taking baked goodies to old neighbors

Welcoming brand new neighbors

(it feels so good to be connected to community)

House cleaning-washing sheets, vacuuming, laundry, the usual

Too many Walmart trips. Oh how I hate those crowds & shrinking aisles!

Making yummy new dinner recipes

Ordering in

Crafting our hearts out

Gifts-an entire tote of stamping goodies for the girls

Sewing...hours of it...and it has felt amazing!

New orders...and filling them

Sermons that make you evaluate where you are...and where you are headed

Deep concern for someone very close to me
Tears
Counsel

Gratitude for protective leadership

--------------------------------------------------------

So today I'm saying hello to:

Being filled & refreshed...and ready for the last 30 days of school(Hallelujah!)

My birthday week!{yes, I can still be excited to celebrate even though I'm an adult}

Looking forward to the upcoming summer break...and our trip to Central America

I am full. I am ready. I am excited!

New week, here we come....
