Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 


Lots of fun pictures for you this Sunday, as I look back over a week that bubbled over in (mostly) beautiful ways!!

Last Sunday was our church’s annual business meeting, and it was the first one I’ve attended as part of the staff. We’ve attended them every year since we moved here, but this one felt different in the most beautiful way, because I was able to give my report! Not surprising to you, I’m sure, I went complete with slides and pictures! 😊

I decorated my office at church this week, which I already told you, and I have thoroughly enjoyed those decorations all week long. My little corner of the office suite feels super cozy, and it fosters creativity in my soul.

Ryan and I decorated our family trees, and it was such fun. Normally our tradition is to read the stories of all the ornaments as we put them on the tree, but that takes several hours, and we didn’t have that much time, so this year we told each other the stories from memory. It was a fun twist on our tradition, and we had the BEST time.


Another project I have in process right now is setting up a coffee station in our office at church. I’ve been working on it for a while now and almost have it complete. This week I added a little tray of disposable plates/bowls/silverware for us. (Sometimes we need them and never can find them!) And, per request, I added apple cider mix to the drink options!

Ryan and I went on a grocery shopping date and shared a jamocha shake. It turns out we are ill-equipped to take a proper shake-sharing photo without a tripod – and while having an audience of diners. I don't think we are cut out to be influencers. 

I will tell you more about her party this week, but we celebrated Lexi’s fourth birthday! It was seriously the most fun day, and I think she enjoyed all the extra love, attention, food, presents, and even a FaceTime!

Yesterday started with a coffee date on the Adams County Coffee Experience trail, and then I headed to a baby shower for my bonus niece. I’m in complete denial that she’s old enough to have a baby of her own, but she is, and I’m still the same age I was when she was born.


*JUST FOR FUN!!!*

Here is a picture of me 20+ years ago at the baby shower for the one who is now going to be a mama. And a picture of the two of us when she was brand new. We’ve come a long way.
