Snapshots in September

 

Yes, I know we still have another week left in this month, but I had a random collection of things to share from the month as a whole that I thought I’d pack into this little day!

            I mentioned a while ago that I hurt my foot early in the month, but I don’t think I ever said what I did. I wore cute shoes. That is the sum total of that story. I wore these really cute chunky heels to church, and when I came home, one of the toes on my right foot was swollen, and my foot was messed up for about a week. Is this what everyone means when they say you cross over 45 and suddenly have weird injuries? I’m there!

            I shared a link on Saturday about the work of Run Hard. Rest Well. This is an organization I’ve been doing some contract work with – and I wanted to share this photo of the lovely ladies I have the privilege of serving with!

            I found this picture scrolling through social media one day. Told Ryan if he wanted to propose again, he could feel free to borrow this idea. 😉

            When you live in Amish country, these sorts of flower stands abound. It really is one of my favorite things about living in this area.

            Last week I got together with the ladies from my Sunday School class to enjoy an evening of fellowship. One of the ladies brought puppies. They were so cute! I sent these pictures to Ryan, and he said not to bring one home. SO HARD to walk away!

            This past week marked 36 years since my nephew’s birth and death. I often try to imagine him in his present age. What would he be like at 36? I spent the day remembering him and being thankful for his life!

            We have had several foggy mornings lately. No fun for driving, but so pretty over the lake!

            Ryan and I have been helping out with midweek church services in the kids’ area. This week we started a new theme, and we dressed the part!

            The month has been a mix of really fun, really memorable, and really hard. It’s easier to be grateful for the fun and memorable over the hard, but I try to be equally thankful for it all!
