It's Friday!! Hope you all have had a good week and are looking forward to a restful (or fun...or both!) weekend! I thought I'd do a currently post today - just for fun!
Currently I'm...
...enjoying having Ryan in the house again in the evenings and having a little bit more freedom to leave home. Why is this, you ask?? It all has to do with the yard, but multiple reasons factor into this newfound enjoyment. First, we actually had several days of rain, so our yard isn't as parched as it had been. Last week brought several rainy days for us, and we appreciated each one so much. Secondly, we were able to purchase some hose timers, which allow us to have a little bit more freedom to be gone for a few hours in the evening if we so desire. We're not to the point where we can take a trip, but we're able to at least go for dinner! And finally, our yard is actually growing! That reseed Ryan did took off so much better than the original planting, and we have some grass! We also have some weeds and some bare spots, but it is OH so much better than it was. We are abundantly grateful for this blessing, and I am enjoying every minute of having Ryan inside with me in the evenings.
...having fun planning our tenth anniversary. I'm probably about a third of the way through the planning, and it's so much fun. I love researching the locations, the restaurants, the activity options, and now I'm piecing together the itinerary. This is one of my favorite things to do, and it has been a joy to work on. We are both excited for our celebration!
...hoping to see some very specific answers to a handful of prayers I've been praying lately. God has been nudging me to be specific in my prayers, and as silly as it may sound, it's a scary thing for me. I'm one who tends to pray very generically for general big pictures, but I am working hard to pray over specific needs. There are a couple that are short timeframe needs, and I'm placing my hope in the Lord to meet them!
...picking out some new clothes for a long-term wish list. I told you a few days ago in a blog that I had taken the Putting Me Together master class about how to put together a wardrobe that works. I learned so much in that class about the styles and colors of clothing that work best for me - and the needs I have for the outfits I own. (My needs have changed a lot in the last few years.) I've realized that the majority of what I own is actually pretty old - much of it between 5-10 years or even more - and a refresh wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I want to be very careful and selective about what I choose, so I've been making a wish list! It's been a lot of fun!
...using new skills at work! Love INC rebranded with a new logo and fonts and colors, so we are trying to make all new publications and signs. I've been learning to use Canva and to be creative in ways I've never had to be at work before. It was daunting at first, and sometimes it still is, but I'm also having a great time with it. I appreciate the freedom he gives me to try new things. I'm learning I can do things I didn't know I could do!
So that's what's happening here. How about you?

That is great news about your yard. Hooray for grass growing! We've had a bit of rain recently and it has been so nice to know that my flowers and veggies are getting the occasional "real" watering as opposed to my efforts (though it doesn't take me long to water and I don't mind doing it; I know that nature's way is best for my plants!). I'm glad the rain has given you a reprieve from your time consuming task of watering.
Hurray for grass growing!!! Cannot belive your 10th anniversary is coming up!
We are trying to finish up work for the week so we can head up to Shipshewana for a night! Glad your lawn is growing. I think of you guys and pray for your lawn when I'm watering our garden.
