Last Week

-
Life has felt very good this last week. Quiet time mixed with family time mixed with lunches with friends, basketball games, company in our home, church, work, etc.

Friday I ran errands, grocery shopped, and met my friend for lunch.

Bibimbop!

Friday night we went to to a basketball game at the kid's school.

Saturday was spent cleaning, then I attended a craft night at a local church. I might have nearly burned my fingerprints off with the glue gun many times over, but I managed to make all of these.

Sunday we had 22 people for dinner. Yes, 22 people in my little living room and kitchen. There's a large group of local college students who attend and help out and they came over Sunday afternoon. I made sloppy joes for the first time in my life, and if the number of sandwiches eaten is any indication, they were a hit.

I might have crashed about 4:30 yesterday after the last student was gone and house back in shape.

Today is full of just normal mom and wife duties with a little Project Life catch-up thrown in. Sounds pretty good, right?

Yes- sounds pretty darn good to me! I admire you for having all 22 over and feeding them- sloppy joes was a great idea :)

Sounds great - and I might need your sloppy joe recipe! Never made them before either.

Five on Friday (November 15, 2019)

Welcome to November, friends. We're already halfway through the month which seems impossible. Also, a bit melancholy since November and December are my two favorite months of the year and I don't want to speed through even a little bit of it. It's hard to know where to pick up since I have been so negligent in this space for much of 2019.

Did I mention Brian backed up the van smashing our Yaris into smithereens? Should we talk about the night Rory didn't tell me about the overflowing toilet until said water was inches deep? Or how she brought me a hand towel to soak up the inches of water? Or how about the toilet water dripping through the ceiling? I say we should move right along!
1. I'll start with Rory's first overnight youth group trip last weekend. A friend texted me over the weekend with the words, "How is she old enough to be here?" and that sums it up. Brian, Camden, and I went to see the new biopic Harriet; we all highly recommend the movie.…

Blessed

I realize this will sound completely sappy, but do you ever come to the end of a day and just feel blessed? Today was one of those days for me. I woke up feeling so good, something I took for granted a mere 6 months ago. I actually didn't have bags under my eyes for the first time in months (and I am so not kidding when I say that). We went to Rory's soccer game bright and early, enjoyed seeing her team run around like little wild people. A friend stopped by with fruit and chocolate (it doesn't get any better than that) and fun gift cards. Thank you, Linda!
We spent the afternoon at my sister and brother-in-law's house with their family and some dear friends. There was good food, really beautiful weather. I listened to the kids laugh, watched them run, drank some rootbeer from a glass bottle. Even something as simple as watching The Sing-Off while I used the treadmill this evening felt good.
The day was blessed from start to finish.

7/52: Pastel

-

This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun.







This is a new face I'm seeing often these days.

By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
