Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, and the first big winter storm of our winter. Ugh. Why, again, didn’t we move to Florida? Alas, we did not, so we shall work through the winteriness, and I’ll share some of our favorite memories from this past week!

Last Sunday I had the privilege of sharing the message at church, and then I had the privilege of a proper Sabbath afternoon. Both were extremely enjoyable!

I landed over 16,000 steps on Monday – and they started by hauling dozens of Christmas décor tubs and Christmas tree bags from the church attic to the main floor. I worked up quite a sweat! By the end of the day, I was covered in flocking but so pleased with the start of decked halls at church!

After decorating several more trees on Tuesday, I ended up at the store to pick up the little finishing touches I needed. I was so happy for a mostly clear store and mostly nice weather for hauling the stash back into the church when I was done!

By Wednesday night, Ryan and I were both worn out! We both had long but productive weeks at work, and our Wednesday-that-felt-like-Friday was a sweet and welcomed time of extra rest.

Thanksgiving Day brought a coffee date at the Shaka Shack (our favorite spot AND a stop on the coffee trail…) and lunch with my parents. It was one of the quietest, simplest Thanksgivings we’ve had, and we thought it was perfect.

  

We went out in the beginning of the frigidness to attend a Christmas tree lighting! It was so cold out there, but we completely enjoyed our date!

Yesterday was our first big snowfall, and it was pretty because I didn’t have to drive in it. 😊 We did have to take Miss Lexi to the vet for a double ear infection, but after that, I stayed PUT for the entire day. I worked for several hours and got caught up on all manner of things at home. It was so good.

                Grateful for a good week!
