This has been a full week. Full of good and hard
things alike…and full of memories! Here’s a peek at our adventures:
Ryan was so sweet to take this picture last Sunday, when I led
the part of the service where people share prayer requests and praises. The
staff takes turns leading that part, and it was my turn!
Ryan’s grandpa is in the end stages of his life. He’s been steadily
declining for the last couple of years, but the decline seems to be speeding
up. We made a trip to visit him, knowing he could be like this for some time –
or this could be the last time we see him alive on this earth. This was the
first time we’ve gone when he didn’t know us, but he was still so happy to see
us in his room. After we visited with him for a bit, we went to see Ryan’s Aunt
Sandy, and we had coffee with her for National Coffee Day!
Swiss Village’s mystery trip this week was a bus ride to our
house for a fall boat ride. It was totally summer weather, but we had a little
over a dozen residents show up and enjoy some laps around the lake!
Our church’s annual night at Steele Farms was this week, and
it was a huge success! We had so many people show up for dinner and fun around
the farm. The only sad part was that Ryan didn’t get to join me this week. He
had to lead GriefShare. He came for a couple of minutes to get something to
eat, and we got one selfie while we were together. I spent the rest of the
evening missing him and documenting the event!
Our 154th monthiversary was this week, and I
already told you about that, but I reiterate that it was a sweet day of
appreciating the life we have. The day was chaotic (as is life right now) but I
appreciated the chance to spend some time with my sweet love!
By the end of the week, we were WORN OUT. I spent quite a
bit of Friday listening to lectures for school, and Lexi stayed with me – but she
slept through most of it. I don’t think she’s earning her degree. 😊
Yesterday was our 13th engagementversary, and I
will tell you more about it this week, but it was just a sweet day that
we loved. It was a gift to have most of the day together and to enjoy, dream,
reminisce, and celebrate!
