Remember last week when I said that every Sunday, we say, “If
we can just get through this week…?” I am excited to say that this Sunday, we
are just looking forward to the week. And while we look forward to the days to
come, you can enjoy some of my favorite memories from the past week!
May I never forget the beauty that was last Sunday’s
Dedication Celebration at our church. I’ve always shared with you why it was
meaningful to me, but I say again that it was one of the most memorable days.
And after a beautiful day…there was a dentist
appointment. I had to have a filling replaced, which went well from a dental
standpoint, but it did not go well from a mature-behavior-from-Bekah standpoint.
There was shaking and crying and lost mascara. Ahhh, bless. And for most of the
day, my face was all funny, my jaw ached, and eating was more effort than it
was worth. But I survived!
Lexi got a haircut this week! We were so sad to
learn that her groomer switched to a new place (too far away to follow) so I
was pretty nervous to see how she’d do with someone new. They said she did
great! She came home all pretty with a bandana and everything!
Ryan and I finished the semester of GriefShare we
helped lead this spring. It was a sweet final evening with the ladies who spent
the semester with us. We are so proud of each of them. They have navigated
their losses honestly and courageously, and we are honored to know them and
call them friends.
Our staff had a quarterly planning day this week,
and we met in a beautiful little shelter. Because summer has not yet come to
Indiana, we had a fire in the fireplace while we reflected and planned. It
really was lovely, even if the lack of summer weather is a bit maddening.
I took some time off work this week to take my
parents to a funeral back in Marion. They did so well, and I was thankful for
the flexibility in my own schedule to be able to take that time off to take
them. We drove around Marion, looked at where Ryan and I lived (and the aftermath
of a fire that recently happened near there), and appreciated the beautiful day
to drive!
Yesterday Ryan and I enjoyed a date day, and it was amazing.
It wasn’t so much what we did (though it was fun) and more about just getting
to be out together for an entire day. We both needed it, and I am quite grateful
we had the chance to enjoy it!

Hi, Bekah!
First of all I hope you are feeling better from your dental appointment, today.
It was a full week, indeed and it makes us think that these ordinary things that many take for granted, are really the most important ones and the ones we will remember in the future.
I loved to see your parents and your mom is as cute as ever! :)
Have a blessed week!
Paula
