Weekends are made for relaxing...

The girls and I are gonna have a lazy weekend....I mean it...we're not doing anything constructive! Daddy is busy taking care of speakers for a Associational Conference and so it's a girls weekend. Although the weather is gonna hold us hostage indoors, we will make the best of it. I just finished reading on the Pioneer Woman blog a great recipe for Glazed Doughnuts....hummm...that may be our project! I'll let you know how they turn out.
School will be out in 2 weeks and Mom is so excited! Yes, you've got it! Mom is ready to NOT have to get up and get kiddos dressed! SJ is ready to be done too. She really misses playing at the park while Mom plays tennis. So, summer is around the corner and we've already started buying ice cream and popsicles to make the days more fun! I even bought the girls a picnic table so they can eat outside and make a huge mess. That way I keep my sanity...and a semi-clean floor! A new swing set is in the works too....as soon as Dad has time to help me shop for one. I mentioned in my last post about a decision that I was struggling with and I'm proud to say God has given clarity and direction. Thanks for praying. More will be divulged later. Have a great weekend!

Weather....

can't live with it, can't live without it. And we've had our share of it this weekend! Our weekend was scheduled to include all the BBQ one person could hold. However, because of the weather, I decided to stay home with the girls and not be an ambassador at the local BBQ contest. I admit, I am not missing parading around in the mud but am longing for the taste of some pulled pork! Oh well, laundry needs to be done and of course, some blogging! By the way, I'm reading a new book by Major Ian Thomas entitled The Indwelling Life of Christ. I highly recommend it. It's a daily reading plan designed to help you meditate on the concept of Christ in me. Go check it out. I'm also contemplating some things and would appreciate those of you who pray to ask God to direct us in making this decision. I won't divulge any details at this point for I'm not sure exactly what God is saying. So, please be in prayer for me as I pray and seek God for direction.
The girls are great and growing like weeds. We are almost out of school for the summer and we plan to just have a great time outside and traveling to central MS for visits with friends and family. We have been so blessed! How can I complain? Oh, by the way, just so you know, I'm married to the most handsome and handy fellow! My a/c went out in my truck and yep, that's right, He repaired it! And, it only took 5 hours! Go ahead, be jealous! So long for now...

Spring is here!

Spring is here and I'm getting back into the swing of things. Winter has come and gone and now the flowers are blooming and causing all sorts of issues with the sinuses! That's ok though. I'm just thankful for sunshine and back yards! My girls have been dirty and tired every night for the past few weeks and it is so nice! We are enjoying being at home and playing lots of tennis and just being at home.
We have a great visit with my parents last weekend. We started off Friday morning after getting SJ to school, Mom and I got our feet taken care of and a bit of shopping here in H'do. We ate lunch at the great Hollywood Cafe in Robinsonville and then ended the day at the Redbirds game in Memphis. It was opening night and we enjoyed fireworks afte the game...well, most of us enjoyed them. SC was absolutely petrified! Her Yei Yei had to hold her during the entire 20 minute display. Her comment after it was over..."I ok".."Fireworks scare me"...."I ok"....all the way home!
Saturday we spent celebrating my Mom's birthday with shopping and a great meal at home that night. Sunday we worshipped together and later that afternoon, they left for home. We had such a great time. I am so blessed with parents who love to be with us and they don't really need much to entertain them, just being together is enough. And, you know, that's all that's really important anyway. So, this week is lunch bunch, tennis, housework, church, school field trip and who knows what else.
I'll be blogging more now as I've become a little annoyed with FB. I just want to be able to communicate whole thoughts not just snippets...twitter will keep me able to communicate quickly about life and it's happenings but I will save my contemplative posts for this blog. I'll be uploading pics real soon...Glad to be back!
