What a week it has been! We’ve had a sampler platter sort of
week: lots of fun and lots of unexpected. Here’s just sampling of the sampler!
Last Sunday was a bit exhausting. Both Ryan and I were
still struggling with our summer cold, we’d had a very long day Saturday, and by
Sunday afternoon, we were OUT…for the entire afternoon. The naps were good for
both of us, I believe! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and were thankful for
Sabbath.
I spent time at church, working on some projects for this fall. I took my work into the sanctuary and sat on the platform, praying over the ministries that will take place. Trusting God to do way more than I can imagine!
We had the privilege of welcoming friends over this
week. Back in the winter, one of the teens from our church chose a sunset
cruise at the Shaffers as her Bible Bingo prize, and she brought her family
along to enjoy an evening of fun! The kids played with lake toys and tried
kayaking and paddleboarding, and we all went on a boat ride together! The sun
did forget to show up for the occasion, but we loved this evening!
This week has also been filled with house projects.
They’re stories for another day, but let’s just say we’ve had LOTS of messes.
LOTS of dust. LOTS of modified schedules. Ryan has rolled with it better than I
have, but I also recognize I’m handling the upheaval better than I would have
in the past, and I celebrate that.
Ryan had the chance to serve as grill master at Swiss
Village’s company picnic, and he had so much fun. He enjoyed working with the
others who also helped with the grilling palooza, and according to my mom, he
did a fantastic job making the best burger ever.
The work on the house made Lexi pretty anxious, so she
stuck closely to me whenever I was home this week. Sweet girl. She really did
try so hard, and I was proud of her for that.
Ryan and I love doing life together, and it’s rare that
we do days apart, but yesterday was just such a day. He helped a friend move,
and I took the morning to thrift and grocery shop. I had the best time slowly
picking my way through the store, and I found a lot of great treasures!
