* We had church on Sunday, of course, and there were some big prayer groups during the service. That never gets old to witness! Ryan's birthday present arrived (still weird to me to get packages on Sunday!) and he was so excited! A weighted blanket! And my favorite thing about Sunday? I finished Matthew! The first of the four gospels - all done!
* Ryan was still off work the first two days of the week, so we took it easy on Monday. He made breakfast for us, and we got all unpacked/laundry done/groceries purchased. Braeya was so happy he was home, and she camped out on his lap every single moment he sat still. The saddest part of Monday? Our coffee pot died. Like DIED.
* For our last day of vacation, we had one last little hurrah. We went shopping a bit on Tuesday, had lunch at Red Robin, and found some interesting things at the Treasure Mart! (No purchases there...just interesting finds.) That night, our small group had a cookout to celebrate the end of our study year. Some of the grillers are featured here...all the guys eventually hung out by the grill!
* I sent Ryan back to work (with great sadness on my part) on Wednesday. I wasn't the least bit sick of having him around and was most sad to see him go! I also had to get back to cooking that day - which wasn't terrible. I had kind of missed it. :) Since he returned to work, so did I...because I had a speaking event sneaking up on me! We also got back to work helping his dad at the house they're going to sell. More painting!
* Thursday I had a dentist appointment, and though I was nervous about it being the longest I'd gone between appointments since my surgery, I got a great report! Thursday was also our monthiversary - 77 months! Ryan planned a special date for our evening and took me out for strawberry shortcake! (DELICIOUS!!)
* Ryan was SO EXCITED to come home from work on Friday and find out our replacement coffee pot had arrived. (Then we proceeded to accidentally make the boldest cup of coffee on the planet. It's a wonder we slept at all that night!) We took one last picture of Braeya Jo before she became a teenager...and we found an interesting treasure in Aldi. (Whoooooo wore the glasses better?) (See what I did there?)
* Yesterday was a busy day. I traveled up by our beloved lake to speak at a mother/daughter brunch at a church, and Ryan had to work, so he couldn't go with me. (That was sad!) Last night we went to dinner with my parents to celebrate both our birthdays. (They take us out for a birthday dinner every year.) AND our girl turned thirteen. She's nailed the teenager look!

I hope you do a “review” of Ryan’s weighted blanket. I have been researching them, so many different options, want to get the right one, especially since they cost so much.
Never easy to resume real life! So sorry about your coffee pot (:
Your cat's face :). Hope you're completely back into the swing of things.
Yes, please do a review of the weighted blanket! I think my husband would also like one, but when I started looking at them, there was so much information to consider. It would be great to know if Ryan likes the weighted blanket.
My condolences to you and Ryan - may the coffee pot rest in peace. I have also been researching weighted blankets. So many types! I'm also voting for a reviewm on it! Have an awesome Sunday!
For your blog readers...There’s a company started by some moms here in Fort Wayne that makes weighted blankets. Bekah and Lynn interviewed them on WBCL! Check them out! We had them as a vendor at a national conference my department from Parkview Health organized, and their products were very popular. Our health system is even doing a study with them on a certain population of our patients.

Wow! Weighted blankets are a popular topic! Yes, I certainly will do a post about it once I get through the vacation posts! :)
The new coffee pot exceeds the old one, so even though it was a sad death, we are quite happy with the replacement!
