Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 

Good morning! Hope you have had a good week, friends. We’ve had a full week over here, but we have made some good, good memories along the way. I looked back over the pictures we took this week and realized last Sunday seems roughly 150 years ago now. I guess the week was fuller than I realized! But here are some of the most significant memories from the week:

Last Sunday was just a sweet, sweet day. After church, we were able to be home for the entire afternoon and evening, and we soaked up everything about a beautiful summer day. We sat outside on the patio, we went for a boat ride, we napped…it was the best day. Why do people not celebrate these kinds of days more often? We should.

Ryan took Monday off work to catch up on things around the house, so I worked from home to be able to spend time with him. I did take a break mid-afternoon to go on a fun little date with him. We rode our bikes down the trail and enjoyed a nice, cool afternoon!

While I don’t imagine that most of you would find an evening of organizing the house to be a significant positive memory, we do! We had a whole night of that this week, and as we discussed later, just getting the house put in order gave us great, great joy.

I spent a whole day in our church sanctuary praying over the coming school year and the students and educators in our church. I learned so many things from that time of prayer, and it was a significant day for my heart!

Ryan was SO EXCITED that preseason football returned this week! He and Lexi had fun watching the first Colts game, and I was happy for him that his version of Hallmark Christmas movies has returned!

I had to work late one evening, and Ryan so sweetly did the grocery shopping to help me out. He came home with roses for me! So beautiful. I love flowers – and when they’re a surprise – even better!

We rounded out the week with a big Saturday: our church’s back to school bash in the morning (where Ryan served snow cones and I took pictures) and then we welcomed friends in the afternoon! John, Sandee, and Kari came to visit and had dinner with us! It had been way too long since we saw them!

                Here’s to a sweet week ahead!
