Good morning, friends!! Before I launch into sharing some of
my favorite moments from the week, I have to show you a bonus moment from last
night. We had some (much-needed) rain in the evening, and when it ended, this
stunning double rainbow appeared just outside our home. We stood outside forever,
enjoying its vibrant presence and sweet moments with the Lord!
Now…on
to some of the rest of the week’s great moments!
Last Sunday, Ryan so lovingly shared with me the
cold he was fighting. I was fine until I wasn’t, and when it hit, I went down
hard. I took a three hour nap that afternoon and worked from my pajamas the
next two days. I felt miserable, but I remained thankful that the cold was not
Bekah-level like they used to be. (If you’re new here, my colds used to last a
minimum of six weeks and were 100% brutal at all times.)
I got out for a little bit of fresh air and flower watering on Monday night and look what I found in the nest!! The eggs hatched! Oh my soul. I think this might be the first time in my life a nest has been in view for me, and I’ve gotten to track the egg/baby bird progression. It’s a true wonder.
Started feeling a little bit better by Tuesday, but
my sidekick stayed close, just in case I needed extra care. We did lots of
projects and reading to fill the work hours while recuperating!
I had to make a presentation to one of the church leadership committees on Wednesday. I went full-Bekah with binders and tabbed sections and everything. My nerdy, organizational heart was so happy.
Ryan and I had to go grocery shopping this
week. It had been almost two weeks since our last run, and we were out of
everything. We made a date night of it and tried out a new-to-us (and generally
just new, I think) restaurant. It’s a walk-up smash burger place, and the food
was good! We loved the outdoor seating courtyard, but it sits at a very busy
highway intersection, and it sure is hard to hear over semis and motorcycles.
After grocery shopping, there was a four-hour date with the kitchen to do some food prep and cooking ahead. I am not cut out to spend four hours in the kitchen every day, but now and then I do love and appreciate a good kitchen fest. Among this week’s creations? Healthy zucchini bread, made with a home-grown zucchini!
Yesterday was busy from start to finish, but the end of the day was extra sweet. Our godson and his mom came to visit, and we had a great evening together. Boat rides and playing in the lake, dinner and playing with Lexi…it was a great way to wrap up a week!
