Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 

Good morning, and happy Sunday! Today is a big day in our household…and I look forward to telling you more about it in a few days! But for today, I want to share some of our most memorable moments from this past week.

Last Sunday afternoon was a total relaxation time, and I drank it up. We’ve had a busy August, and I so looked forward to some Sabbath time. Ryan took this picture of Lexi and me, and I just love it. I love what it represents, I love this little girl, and I love it when Ryan captures us!

I had an extra-long work day on Monday, and I was on the go so much, I didn’t even have the chance to properly document it! But I did capture the sunrise and sunset, both of which were serene. They reminded me that no matter how busy the days might be, the rest of the start and end of the days is a gift.

We had a curtain and curtain rod left from our bedroom overhaul, so Ryan decided to hang them in my bathroom/our laundry room. That window has been empty (aside from a shade) until now. While it hasn’t bothered me that there wasn’t a curtain there, I sure do love how finished it looks with one hanging at the window!

I had a long work meeting with Jonathan this week. We meet every week, and this is basically my training for my job. I always learn a lot, but this week we got into deep discussions about theology and practices and all kinds of things, and it was great! Theology powered by Americanos for the win!

 I’m gearing up to teach Bible study for Growth Groups at our church this fall, and I am so excited about it. I’m excited to learn…and teach! I spent a whole day in the office organizing things for all the groups – and writing lesson plans for my own. Such a teacher nerd.

Ryan gave Lexi a carrot one day this week, and you would have thought he handed her a million dollars. She stood there like this forever, daring either of us to take a step closer to her and her carrot. She is so food-motivated. Cracks me up.

Yesterday was a beautiful day – a much-needed Sabbath rest for me. Guess what we did as part of our day? We went through our memory box from 2024! You know…the activity we always do on January 1? Running a little behind this year. But oh my goodness, going through that box was such a beautiful reminder of what God has done in our lives over the last year and a half. I think it meant even more to us today than it would have if we had done it on time! 😊
