Hi, sweet friends.
A short & sweet li’l post:
Our weekend was fabulous. Friday night my Hubster whisked me away to a fabulous Mexican restaurant so I could get in my kick for the month (we are SERIOUSLY lacking in the Mexican food department in our area). He knows how to melt my heart – wine and guacamole. MMMMM. Saturday we put up our Christmas lights outside (I know, FINALLY!) and I finished last minute details on our inside decorations – SO COZY, loving it. After we were finished we took a drive to grab some hot chocolate and then came home and took Tucker for a walk. Hot chocolate, Christmas lights, heavy coats, mittens and my little family – I was in heaven. Tucker was too. I think he was on sensory overload with all of the lights. After that we went to a birthday shindig for the neighbors. Sunday was church, lunch and BLIND SIDE!!! AMAZINGGGGG! Oh, and there has been some MAJOR baking action in our household; can’t wait to share details. All in all, such a sweet and fun weekend.
(And something MAJORLY exciting happened over the weekend to someone SOooOOoooo special in my life!!! But I’m waiting until I’m given the “ok” to make it public on here. EEEEK! It’s exciting!!)
Right now, as I type this, my precious Father-In-Love/Law is having a pretty major operation on his pancreas and gallbladder. I’m kind of a nervous wreck and therefore am making this post short. My mind is preoccupied with prayer and practicing patience (trying at least). It’s a five hour operation. Prayers would be awesome! Eeeeek. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” My heart is repeating this.
My mind is also in a constant mental planning/accepting/delegating mode as we’re in the midst of this whirlwind that is now our calendar. So many holiday parties/dinners, so little time! Isn’t it the best? I’m loving it, but I would be lying if I didn’t say I’m also feeling it. Whew! I will post again this week and then take a hiatus. I’m so excited to spend time with my sweet family and friends and enjoy all of the celebrations, dinners, parties and trips we have in store over the next two weeks. Oh, and NYC to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! How fun is that?! Okay, more to come later.
Happy Tuesday, sweet friends.
Blessings/XOXO
