Good morning, friends! Welcome to the final week of
February! I’m looking forward to everything about March/spring except
the time change, but we won’t talk about that quite yet. Maybe we’ll just take
a few minutes to look back over some of the fun from the past week instead…
Last Sunday was a mess in the weather department,
but we were still able to have church and attend our youth group’s rescheduled
fundraiser dinner. We enjoyed eating with friends from church – and I must say
the teens were excellent, attentive servers. We were both impressed by their
professionalism. š
I’ve wrestled with a cold this week, and on one of
the ickier days, I wore myself out working. I had just a few minutes before
Ryan came home and wanted to grab a quick nap. I cuddled up on the bed next to
Lexi…and immediately turned into a human chew toy. Any guesses on how much
napping actually took place at this time? Zero, you say? CORRECT!
This week, as you read on the blog, marked two years
since we moved into this house. I was so thankful to NOT be hauling boxes
around this year. In 2020, 2022, and 2023 we moved. Last year we moved
my parents and helped move our church. I would like a break from moving this
year. Sitting to look at pretty flowers and completed coffee bars sounds most
preferable to me!
Despite not feeling so great this week, I did enjoy
a few opportunities to try some new meal recipes, which I’ll link for you next
week. I know not everyone likes to cook, but I do, and in the midst of feeling
like a pretty lousy wife and homemaker, being able to put together some tasty
dinners felt like a win.
Another first in my work-world this week included a staff
planning day! We took a day away from the regular office view and met up to do
some long-term planning for services and other church activities. I absolutely
love my coworkers at the church and enjoyed spending the whole day with all of
them! I’m excited that we get to have planning days throughout the year. (Really…does
it surprise anyone that a planning day brings joy my soul?)
My work never looks the same two days in a row. Sometimes
I’m visiting people in their homes or at the hospital. Sometimes I work from my
home office. Sometimes I spend hours at coffee shops for meetings. But
sometimes I get to work at the church, and this week included just such a day –
and I put together a whole group of binders. It brought me more joy than it
probably should have.
Yesterday was a writing day. I’m not able to speak
at as many things as I did last year – especially if they involve overnights or
travel. But I have a little handful of local speaking events coming up this
spring, and I had to block out some time to write for them. I was so thankful
for an open day on the calendar and zero writer’s block. (And then Ryan and I
celebrated by thrifting and grocery shopping! š)
I hope your
week was filled with the sorts of heart-filling moments I found – and hopefully
not many germs. (I’m feeling much better today than I did at the beginning of
the week, and I’m so thankful!)
