Before I tell you about our monthiversary yesterday, I think I’ve missed a couple of questions along the way that I wanted to catch up with! I believe there was a question at some point about whether or not we have gone kayaking yet this summer. We haven’t, but it’s on the list for this month! I do not trust myself (and my mad skills) getting in a kayak from a pier. I’m fairly sure I’ll flip over. I watched Ryan’s stepdad do that once, and it looked very much like something that would happen to me. We don’t have a beach, so I wanted to check with some neighbors who do have one to see if it would be okay for me to launch from there. They gave permission, so now I feel better about doing it! (And then it has rained a bunch, so that’s been the delay.)
Someone also
asked about whether or not Lexi ever goes in the water. She hasn’t yet! We bought
her a life jacket last year but she grew, so we need to get her a new one. She
doesn’t seem afraid of the water, but she also hasn’t tried to jump in. She loves
to sit outside, though. It’s her favorite! (Fireworks are not her favorite, so
our sitting outside time is limited for the moment.)
Yesterday was
our 127th monthiversary, and we were so happy to have it fall on a
weekend day so we could spend the day together! We started with church, of
course, and then we came home for the rest of the day. It was glorious.
My favorite
kind of Sunday is the all-rest kind, and that’s exactly what we had. Leftovers
for lunch – out on the patio. We rested next to the lake for a while, but it was
a toasty day, so we came inside to nap. We watched Matlock reruns, meandered
mindlessly online (Pinterest for me!) and had chicken quesadillas for dinner.
While I’m sure
many took today off to have a four-day weekend, we’re both working today, so
Sunday evening was a mix of continued resting and gearing up to be back at work
the next day. I did some reading, we both did some Bible study, and we enjoyed
getting to be together on a low-key kind of day.
127 months puts
us closer to eleven years of marriage than ten, and that is just wild for my
mind to comprehend. I know eleven isn’t a huge number in the grand scheme of
possible marriage years, but it’s still not lost to me what a joy and miracle it
is to get to share this life with Ryan every single day. Even when I’m not at my
best (and there were a few of those moments yesterday when I was being less
than my best) he loves well and unconditionally, and I am thankful!
A happy Monday
to all of you – whether you’re working or long-weekending. I hope the day is a
good one.
