Well Hello There, Friday!

This was the situation in our living room about 7 p.m. last night:

I just hit a wall and crashed. My mind had been spinning all day with all kinds of work projects, and then I went for a two mile run that went better than I thought it might, but not nearly as well as it should have. I should pause here to mention that two nights ago, I tried to be a hero who could keep up with Ryan's work out, and in one night, I did 600 jump ropes, 160 squats, 120 push ups, 80 pull ups and ran a lap on the treadmill.

I texted that info to my mom, who said, "Are you preparing for something?"

I responded, "Dinner."

(Kiddingnotkidding.)

So two days later, my legs stopped speaking to me, and when I told them they had to run two miles, they got really upset. So after dinner, whilst we waited on the razzleberry pie to bake, this was Ryan's view. (I feel I had some merit to my nap. This is Braeya's full time job, so I'm not sure why she was so tired!)

Anyway. So clearly my ability to produce deep thoughts on this fine Friday is...um...not really there.

It's been a while since I've done a What's Up Wednesday post...and in true Bekah fashion, I'm not doing it on Wednesday.

* What we are eating.

This week I made Dashing Dish's creamy enchilada soup in the crock pot (a total winner), my healthier hot chicken salad with asparagus on the side, and chicken quesadillas. It's been a tasty little week around the table, or at least I like to think so!

* What I'm reminiscing about.

My parents are about to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary (!!!!) so this week I got out the scrapbook of our little family vacation that we took for their 60th anniversary. That was such a fun weekend in Shipshewana! (Here, here, here, and here if you want to reminisce, too!)

* What I'm loving.

Being home! This has been a busy week of work around the house (we're having a little project done) and it is a blessing to me that I can work from here and oversee all that's happening. I remember when Ryan and I were double commuters and we had to have our plumbing replaced, and we had to ask Mom to come sit all day at our house while people worked. This is a blessing!! (What I'm not loving? Said projects are noisy, and when it all began, I feared the neighbors were allllll going to hate us. Please see the video above. )

* What we've been up to. 

Enjoying our home. For the last month, we've been home so much more than we were home in the eight or so months prior to that, and it has been an absolute joy. We've been able to work on things around here. We've been able to rest. We've been able to remember the absolute luxury of down time. We've also been prepping for our fall semester of small group. We are excited for that to resume!

* What I'm doing this weekend.

We are watching Miss Pheebs for a day or so, so I'll be refereeing animal encounters, taking walks, and snuggling with the little furball!

* What I'm excited about.

I GET MY HAIR DONE NEXT WEEK. I haven't had it cut since January, and I haven't had a color treatment since April. It is ridiculously gray at the roots and so so so full of tangles and split ends. Every time I try to get the snarls out, I remind myself that I'm just a few days from fresh hair. IcandoitIcandoitIcandoit.

* What I'm watching.

We are fully immersed in the current season of America's Got Talent, so that's a standing date every week. I'm also watching the current season of Good Bones. (If you don't watch it...it's on HGTV and is a house flipping show set in Indianapolis, so I love seeing things that are familiar!)

* What I'm listening to.

Don't hate me for it, but my hit-repeat in the car right now is David Phelps Christmas. I know. I know. It's August.

* What I'm working on.

Most of my time right now is devoted to trying to organize both women's ministry stuff and small group stuff for our new responsibilities at church. Lots of time goes into doing both, so that's my main task. On the side, I'm catching up on organization projects around the house, archiving some blog posts, and juggling multiple Bible studies.

* What I'm wearing.

Because I've been home more, I've been living in workout clothes most days. Tank tops for the win!! Thank you, summer, for being here. I love you so.

So there you have it, Friday! I'll try to stay awake and enjoy what you bring!
