Happy Sunday!!! Hope you've had a good week, and for those of you who returned to school this past week, I hope the transition was as smooth as it could possibly be! (So strange to see buses going by our house again already!)
Here's a peek at our week!
*
Last Sunday was all about relaxation for us. I got to scrapbook for a long time, I got a
massage, and we went on a nice, long sunset walk, where we were able to talk and enjoy the beautiful weather. (Side note: we have both loved that this week included beautiful evenings that were the perfect temperature and not soaked with humidity!)
* I always love getting the mail (almost to a toddler-like extent) but
we got some REALLY fun mail on Monday! My sister had our little great-niece color a picture for us and she mailed it to us. It took me back the days when my
niece was that age, and my sister would send us her little art creations. Loved it, and it looks so cute on our fridge! Braeya sat with me while I did my online Bible class (which made for interesting typing - ha!) and that night, I made Mexican pizzas, which Ryan said were completely delicious. He actually said every recipe this week was a winner!

Tuesday was, by far, our busiest day this week. (It was kind of nice that all the busy landed in one day.) I worked hard at home all day, including finishing up our new neighbor gift. (Side note: we ran into them later in the week and presented it to them, and they loved it!) After Ryan got off work, we had a meeting with one of the pastors at our church, followed by a rehearsal for a skit we're part of this week, and
then we went over to Phoebe's house to visit with her people, have dinner with them, and even accompany them on a walk in the park. Love me a good sunset! And as a bonus, I made another recipe Ryan loved, AND it was pretty. I love cute food.

We started out Wednesday in the wee hours (which is what 7 a.m. feels like to me) getting our wellness checks for insurance. I learned that I am very healthy and only a little fat. (Wording may not exactly reflect that used by the woman who worked with me. But it's the main idea.) I enjoyed my day at home, working on writing project, porch-dwelling a bit, and welcoming Miss Phoebe back for a few more days! That last photo is after I washed my hair and let it air dry, where it promptly grew to lion's-mane status.

Thursday was a beautiful, wonderful day at home with Phoebe. She followed me around while I worked. When I got the mail, I found the next issue of
Light from the Word, which is a devotional publication I write for sometimes. I am in the upcoming quarter's list of writers, so that was fun to see! We took Pheebs on a walk that night, and she was ALL about Ryan for some reason that day. (Traitor.)
*
Friday was our 80th monthiversary, and I surprised Ryan at work by bringing him a latte. We did our grocery shopping that night and then ordered a pizza and hung out at home together for our date. (Sometimes being at home together is more fun than going out, and this was one of those days.) We went on a walk, practiced our skit, and declared the day really wonderful!
* Phoebe was still with us yesterday, so she and I hung out while Ryan worked. (We finished a whole scrapbook!) Ryan washed the cars and then
we worked to put up a new cover on our pirogi. We lost the old one circa three years ago when the tornado came through. We're nothing if not prompt about replacements! Ha! Ryan took me out for ice cream last night, too. I love ice cream dates.

Wow! Ryan’s hospital is strict about their qualifications for the medical plan discount! I remember you having to complete a walking challenge when you had the flu! At the health system I work for this year is the first year they’ve required people with higher BMIs to lose a percentage of weight… Or have two visits with a wellness coach. There’s also blood work and early detection screenings required as well.
Happy 80 months! Your insurance doesn't just use your annual physical as your one and done?
I can't believe schools in your area start so early. My brother lives in northeast IN and schools up there start crazy early, too. Congrats on you monthiversary and getting a whole scrapbook done.
Tracy - In their defense, they do offer lots of ways to get points, but yes I was on a team walking challenge when I was sick once, and I was not going to be the weakest link! (Personal stubbornness.) You can get points for well checkups and exercise challenges and passing the nicotine test and all that kind of stuff. I think that may have been what saved me on the weight this year.
Tamar - Thank you! The checkups (regular doctor, eye doctor, dentist, etc.) count as points toward staying healthy, but we go get the nicotine test, BMI, and bloodwork done as a separate visit.
Maria - Thank you! I think all the schools in our county start this upcoming week, but some around us have started already!
Bekah - this has nothing to do with anything that you posted today but I couldn't find any other way to contact you! :) I have seen where you post about the essential oils and you are great at finding more natural type products (ordered from ByRobinCreations 2 weeks ago because of your recommendations! Thank you!!). Was wondering how you feel about getting your hair colored? I have not colored my hair for several years now because of the chemicals but I am so tired of the partial gray look!! Any advice on this area? Thank you!! Tami
