good morning!

Inevitably, Monday mornings always come too quickly. Six a.m. feels like the middle of the night. And the week ahead looks eery and long.

BUT, not this morning! (Granted, I am sitting by the fire and I suppose I would enjoy a nice snooze...who wouldn't?).

It was a wonderful weekend, full of food. Family. Friends. Much needed time with my husband just relaxing, chatting and enjoying our moments together. It was long. It felt long! And it was good.

The week ahead looks good. Not too busy. Plans to clean and do some organizing. Finish up a few crafty projects. Maybe check off the last few Christmas shopping items. And end the week with John moving one year closer to 30!

On another note...I 'requested an invite' to pinterest. And then I got an email saying that I would receive an invite soon. Well, I figured it would be a couple of minutes, but who knew it would be over 24 hours?! Now that actually decided to sign up (I've strangely been holding off), I'm all antsy and excited and I have to wait :) I can't wait to start browsing, pinning and organizing all sorts of things I don't know exist!

Pray you all have a God-filled week. This is a bridge in a new favorite song that keeps running through my head...

Heal my heart and make it clean,
Open up my eyes the the things unseen,
Show me how to loved like you have loved me.
Break my heart for what breaks yours,
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause,
As I walk from here into eternity.
