Good morning
on this last Sunday in September! (HOW?!?!?) Ryan and I had a long, full, fun
day yesterday that I’ll tell you more about as the week goes on, but we came
home with full hearts last night! Here’s a quick look at our week and some of our
favorite moments!
Last Sunday I had the most glorious
afternoon catching up on some hard-core scrapbooking. I’ve been doing a pretty
good job of keeping up with our day-to-day adventures, but I had gotten behind
on some of the detail work of the books: like proofreading and finishing
touches. I spent all afternoon working on that, and it filled my heart with
joy!
Monday evening was the ONLY
evening that Ryan and I had at home together this entire week. It was kind of
gross outside, so we couldn’t go for a walk. We just sat and enjoyed being together
in the same room, watching football (him) and reading (me). By the end of the
week, I really wished for another day like this one so I could spend more time
with him!
Ryan had to work late on Tuesday
to help with a special dinner at Swiss Village. I worked hard at home, baking
bread, making some meals ahead, and I even cleaned up the entire kitchen, so it
would be nice and sparkly when Ryan came home. (Usually I cook and he cleans,
but I knew he’d be worn out from a long day when he came home, so I wanted to surprise
him with a clean kitchen.)
We had another long day on Wednesday
– but I enjoyed a small break in the afternoon when I went to visit Mom and
Dad. Dad was asleep, but I talked Mom into going to the ice cream activity in
the dining room, and she ended up having a fun time seeing people she doesn’t
often get to see (because they all have moved to different areas).
My longest day was Thursday. I worked
from 8 a.m. to about 9:30 p.m. and was kind of a cranky, tired, decaffeinated
mess when I came home. But I would have been a MORE decaffeinated mess had one
of the sweet ladies in my Bible study not popped by the church to drop off THIS
beautiful gift for me!! What a sweet gesture!
Friday I drove to Marion to
attend a funeral and support one of my friends in her time of loss. It was a beautiful
service, and I was so glad I went. While I did that, Ryan was assisting with a
cinnamon roll demonstration at work. His job really IS “other duties as assigned!”
Yesterday we went to TWO
reunions! We started out at Ryan’s family reunion and ended up with my high
school class reunion – with some errands completed in between the two. It was a
good day, and the bonus? Lexi had the time of her life with her sitters, who
completely spoiled her, by the way!
