This work day is creeping by; therefore I am filling it with thoughts, lists, and plans for the weeks to come.
My husband is going camping with the guys. I love that he has ‘guys’ that he can hang out with, guys that are spiritually encouraging and supportive, guys that have similar and different interests, guys that allow him to be himself. He needs his guy time; I need to him to have his guy time. But I will miss him abundantly.
Girl time. {Yes, another reason why I love guy time!} An overnight getaway - that was supposed to be with a few of the wives, but it looks like it will just be me and Von. No problemo! :D I think we can handle it. [Another friend booked a room free with her travel points, but unfortunately has to work and is not able to go; she is still letting us have the room. Thanks Karla!!] I need girl time; it helps me be a better wife.
Our garden feels like such a burden right now. The plants we started inside are dying because they need new soil; they are now sitting outside waiting to be planted. We are trying to dig up the ground but the weather keeps turning on us. It’s hard - hard ground, hard to find time. I will be so thankful when we get those little seeds in the ground, I feel like then it will be easier. Probably not!
Backpacking next weekend!
This morning at work a few of us got told that we need to work overtime as many Saturday’s as possible. Ha! Are you kidding me??!! It is summer for pete's sake {or will be soon} and I have way better things to do with my weekends. Don’t they realize we don’t all live in this office. Thankfully I really am busy the next three weekends and have good excuses, we’ll see after that…
I highlighted my hair blonde. Ultra blonde. Still getting used to it. John likes it, which is good, because he wanted the blonde and he usually doesn’t have an opinion.
Spiritually I’m lagging. Failing. My focus is so blurry. Looking forward to this evening with my community to realign my heart.
We've been calorie counting, and doing pretty darn good! [Down 1.4 last week and hoping for the same this week.] Currently I'm craving a soda...well, honestly, I always want a soda. So instead of giving in - I think I will go get a small calorie fruit snack pack instead. Hooray!
I agree with the first paragraph 110%. I love that Steve has 'the guys'. What a fantastic group of guys they are, man, God has richly blessed us in the friendships that he's given us hasn't he. I am truly thankful, from the bottom of my heart!
ReplyDeleteWahoo for girl time! Before I was married I started getting to the point where I hated "girls" nights. For pete's sake I wanted a MAN! Now that I've got two years under my belt (a glimmer compared to you and John) I LOVE girls nights! Especially with wonderful, uplifting, encouraging and delightful friends ;)
Ahh the garden. Who knew when we decided to undertake the wonderful world of gardening it would be SO difficult. Difficult to find time, difficult weather conditions, difficult soil?! Who knew?! Learning experience! That's what it is. We will appreciate our food so more more after all we've been though!
Overtime! Psha! Actually... I wouldn't mind an IM'ing buddy on Saturdays ;)
Can't wait to see the hair.
Can't wait to gather together with fellow believers.
Congrats on the calorie counting - after a few weeks of it, it's really not that bad! Excited/nervous for the scale... I want to say under "the red line!"
