What's Up Wednesday

 

It's been a while since I did a "What's Up Wednesday" post, so I thought today would be a great day for that!

WHAT WE ARE EATING:

Well, it just so happens that it is meal plan time, so I am not sure yet what is in our near future, but I can tell you about what we ate over the weekend! (We eat healthy meals almost all the time, but this past weekend was a true food vacation for us, and I was not upset about it.) As I told you a couple of days ago, we went to a county fair on a date this past Friday night, and we both ordered from the same food truck. I got a pulled pork sandwich (but didn't eat the bun) and Ryan chose brisket. It was so good! Both of us asked for a side of macaroni and cheese for that. Saturday morning, Ryan made protein pancakes, and we ate those so late in the morning that we didn't end up eating anything else until dinner time! We had some friends over for dinner, and we pitched in food together! Ryan and I made ham and cheese sliders, and they brought salads and scotcharoos! We mostly lived on leftovers the rest of the weekend, but we did throw in a little bit of pizza just for fun! And now...back to healthier choices!

WHAT WE'RE LOVING:

A few weeks ago, Ryan started doing some online classes through The Bible Project, and he is loving them! I'm usually the classroom nerd of this marriage, but he is really enjoying the format of the classes and all he's learning from them. (He's teaching me stuff I've not heard before, too, so that is a bonus!) I'm still crawling my way through Genesis with my Precept Ministries studies. I'm currently in the middle of Jacob, Rachel, Leah, and all the dramatics. It is never old or boring.

WHAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT:

So many things, really! Perhaps a bullet list is in order.

* We are in the middle of dreaming some big dreams for the future. They're exciting to think about, and we're intrigued to see how they unfold! 

* We are excited about some opportunities coming up to share with area churches and organizations about Love INC. Looking forward to meeting new people and seeing what God does with that.

* Lexi's first birthday is just a couple of months away. I am not planning a party or anything...I mean...no...well...maybe.

* Maybe I shouldn't drag Ryan into this one with me, but I'm excited about fall stuff! Corn maze, pumpkins, mums, sweatshirts, pretty leaves...

* All the milestones with the ten year anniversary that will be coming over the next couple of months!

WHAT WE'RE LISTENING TO:

You know, maybe we should update our music in our car. We have a server with the same batch of music we've had for the last ten years. Maybe it's time to update it! I'm sure it won't shock you to know the majority of what I put on there was southern gospel music. :) 

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING:

We've been binge-watching Without a Trace. We never watched it when it was on originally, so this is all new to us! We've also been watching shows on the Game Show Network while we eat dinner. (People Puzzler, Pyramid, Chain Reaction, America Says.) We are getting pretty good at them! 

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON:

The yard. :) We are trying to get the weeds out. We have managed to conquer the smallest portion, and it looks beautiful, but we still have so much to go! I just so very seriously did not even know weeds could germinate like that. It's mind-blowing.

At Love INC, we're working on getting our new website up and running. This is going to be a lengthy process, but we are excited about it!

WHAT I'M WEARING:

Ryan probably hasn't been making Pinterest boards about his wardrobe lately, so I'll stick to mine. :) I am thoroughly enjoying the few new things I've been able to get for the wardrobe overhaul project:

* There is the black and white striped dress I told you about a few days ago.

* I also got a new pink/blush shirt that I wore for our family pictures.

* Ryan and I got new t-shirts for a fundraiser. His is gray and mine is green, and we love them!

* I got some hand-me-down clothes from my sister that I've also enjoyed wearing.

So that's what's up around here! :) You're caught up!
