I'm writing to you from my perch on the couch, where my feet are propped up and screaming at me. We hiked ten miles yesterday, which apparently I forgot to inform my feet we were going to be doing. Evidently next time they would appreciate some notification. But oh....what a fun day it was, and it followed a pretty wonderful week!
* I have to share this picture from church last Sunday morning. I love being part of a church that still prays for people at the altar! I grew up in a church that made a habit of praying for its people, and it makes me happy to see more of that! Also last Sunday, our Colts played the Kansas City Chiefs, and my sister and brother-in-law had tickets to the game! (It was in Kansas City.) I tried to find them but failed. Ha! Ryan found his football tray for his Sunday night football dinner. (This really is what he has for dinner on Sunday nights during football season.)
* I had a meeting Monday evening to go over all the last minute details for our big event this coming weekend. I went early to help wrap the silverware bundles and check out some of the decorations - and then for two solid hours, I sat with the team and we made pages and pages of notes, detailing everything that needed to be done before the doors open. (Typed out - in large font - it ended up totaling 22 pages. So basically we won't be bored!)
* I had the most eclectic kind of day on Tuesday. First thing in the morning (following a gorgeous sunrise) I helped one of my friends learn how to organize paperwork. As soon as she left, I drove to a local radio station and recorded a commercial spot to promote our women's event at church. First time I've been back in a proper radio studio in over four years! And that night, I donned my photographer's hat and went to a park to take pictures for one of Ryan's co-workers. It was a gorgeous evening, and we cashed in on the tail end of the golden hour and got several pictures that she said she loved. (WHEW!)
* I was making lunch on Wednesday, and it was even a combo of recipes I'd made before, and something went very, very wrong. The fritters didn't hold together. I am not sure if scrambled fritters are a thing, but if they are...we had them. I had to text Ryan at work and ask him to please remember that most days, I'm a good cook. I found a couple literal late bloomers on the rose bush that afternoon, and that night I had Bible study at church.
* Did some baking on Thursday and THAT went much better than the fritter extravaganza. Also - this is my favorite look for the egg carton. (Nerd.) Our trees started popping out more pretty red that day, and it made me SO HAPPY! Honestly, most of the trees around here aren't really colorful, but that line is not disappointing! I think they even inspired Ryan to add the candy corn/peanut combo to our grocery list!
* Friday was super rainy and cold here in Indiana. Just like most of the rest of the country, we had a massive temperature drop all at once. Braeya and I cashed in on the whole rainy Friday afternoon thing and worked (me) and slept (her) from the couch while catching up on DVR'd shows. I found another fabulous fall leaf view that I had to photograph - even in the rain. And I worked on a craft project that night...glue gun and everything!
* Yesterday was one of just two free Saturdays we have this fall, so we took the day and headed to Owen County to cross another county off the list and have a day of adventure! We had some amazing coffee at this most darling little coffee shop that I'll have to tell you about, and then we hiked (you remember the ten miles...) at McCormick's Creek State Park. We may have to be carried around today, but yesterday was SO FUN!
