Tuesday Tales: Celebrating 157 Months

 


Last Friday was our 157th monthiversary. We are still celebrating them, thirteen years into marriage, and they’re one of my favorite things!

                Ryan took the day off work and had the chance to stay home, hang out with Lexi, and work on some projects, while I went to church to work on the deacon appreciation lunch.

                Check out the beautiful sunrise!

                I made lists and piles and piles and lists and by the time my morning was done, I had essentially taken over the entire conference room.

                I left at lunchtime, and we headed to an oil change. (We are the coolest!) We set up camp at a table to talk and read. I wanted to grab a picture, and RIGHT when we hit the shutter, there was this really awkward moment, and this was our reaction!

                We redid the photo, but the outtake might be my favorite.

                After the oil change, we did our grocery shopping, and it was insane out there in the world of stores. I became way too overwhelmed in Walmart and couldn’t breathe, so Ryan kindly handled the checkout so I could go sit in the car calm down. It’s been a while since an overcrowded store got the best of me!

                We had dinner at Cracker Barrel, and it was so yummy. We feared, after seeing the stores, that it would be packed and frustrating, but it was actually pretty empty!



                I was so happy to have extra time with Ryan – and I was happy to celebrate us. And I was also grateful that we were able to serve together the rest of the weekend, preparing for that deacon appreciation lunch!
