It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday I went to see my friend Jon Crandall's ordination service. It was one of the best services I've ever been in...so well-planned and extremely Spirit-filled. Brian Holland (who baptized me) spoke during part of it, and he did a great job. Julie sang a solo (I've missed her singing!) and after church, I stayed for the carry-in lunch. MAN can that church cook!! * Monday was my first day to run while using my new prayer sticks method. I could not believe how fast that workout went! I loved it! I came home and hunkered down to watch The Voice so I could see Anthony Evans sing. So bummed that he didn't get to move to the next round. :(


* After driving to work in SNOW on Monday - would you believe it was over 60 degrees on Tuesday? I love Indiana. So after work I put on my workout clothes and headed straight outside. Ran into my friend Rachel, who had the same idea, and we got to work out together, just like old times! We've had some great talks in our workouts, so we packed in another hour of catching up! Then I came home and played with Braeya and the laser. Her favorite game!
* Wednesday night I got together with Faith to celebrate her birthday! We met up at Starbucks and caught up on life. Embarrassingly enough, we haven't seen each other since our New Year's bash! Then I um...went shopping. We won't talk about that. (Yet.) Check out this picture, though. I get made fun of so much for being the station pack mule. I take such luggage everywhere I go. This grouping is EVERY DAY'S collection at work...and sometimes I have one or two more bags in addition...
* Thursday I added my newest purchase to the office: a very festive metal perpetual calendar! I found it on clearance at Kohl's for about $15 bucks and could NOT resist. It fits in perfectly and lets me keep an eye on what's coming up - in shows...in concerts...and in my own life, too. I love it, and so do my work buds!
* Friday night I got to have dinner with Lynette, the Financial Aid Secretary. We've only seen each other a couple of times since I left the office, and she wanted to celebrate her birthday with me...so we did! We had dinner at The Mill in Marion - and while this is one of Marion's nicer restaurants (complete with live dinner music) - here is proof that it really doesn't matter what kind of restaurant you take me to, all I really want is a sammich. * Saturday I met Phats and some of his friends for lunch - which meant I had to be out of bed before noon. HA! After lunch, we went to JuJuBerry (frozen yogurt), where I stayed a good girl and had coffee while they had.... Then I went shopping for an Easter dress...an activity nearly as charming as shopping for a swimsuit.

One Thousand Gifts: May sound weird...but my favorite gift this week was God's silence. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a huge fan of His silence - or anyone's silence, really - but I realized that for the first time, I didn't worry that silence meant absence. I knew He was there even though He wasn't very vocal. And for that, I was grateful!

In my county...they only sell the spring clothespins, so I got those instead, and then I decided I liked that plan better anyway, because I didn't have to mess with any glue!I just clipped them on a craft mirror and...
TA DA!!!! I'm going to hot glue some twine on the back to make a hanger and the project will be ready to hang over the washer and dryer!
