Lazy Saturday

The last week has felt crazy. I feel like I have been going non-stop. Walking every morning has been good, but I am ready to go to bed at 7pm. Sammy and I had something going every night of the week. Monday...ok, so I just realized I didn't do anything on Monday night, but Sammy chaperoned a bunch of high school soccer boys. That counts for me too right, since we are married and one flesh :) Tuesday... we spent the night with my sis and her husband playing on computers. (See pic below. Emma took the picture, didn't she do a great job?) Wednesday...Taco night at the Millers. We spend every Wed. at the home of our pastors family eating tacos and normally watching LOST. (LOST is taking a 3 month break, so we just ate tacos) It is a fun night filled with good friends and LOTS of highschool students. We played catch phrase and I got riled up. Thursday... Youth Group at church. Sammy and I are part of the junior high/high school group. It is a ton of fun with a great bunch of great kids. We then went home and finished the night with Grey's Anatomy. I'm addicted. Friday... that was a non-busy day too. I was exhausted when I got home from work and took a nap on the couch for about an hour before my hubby got home. We talked for awhile and then went to hit the sack. Maybe that doesn't sound busy to you, but is really took it out of me. "How many computers is too many?"

Saturday has been a beautiful day. This morning I got to have coffee with a very good friend/mentor. I love just sitting and talking for hours. Gaining wisdom from someone who has gone before me. She is such a good listener. Spending time with her makes me want to be a better listener. It is extremely easy for me to talk, but listening, I want to learn how to be better.

After my nice coffee date, I then came home and watched football with my hubby. I guess I should say that I napped while he watched the football game. There is something about football that puts me to sleep. Maybe it transmits subliminal tryptophan to my brain causing me to hibernate. A few minutes ago a couple of friends came over to watch the second half of the game, J. and K. Sammy has a class with J. who brought his girlfriend of one month, K. Sammy and J. hang out a lot and play xbox together. The boys are talking fantasy football, and K. and I discussed our favorite magazines. Girls and boys are so different. Their eyes glazed over when the magazine subject came up.

Later tonight we are going to watch the UFC fights at my parents house. I don't what to say about the UFC. It is definitely an acquired taste. I can understand people really disliking it. What I like about it: 1. Having UFC parties and socializing with our friends and 2. Learning submission moves that I can use on Sammy. :)

Goodbye for now. Blessings.

Love it, love it, love it! ;)

So glad I found your blog this time. Would you believe that it was hiding?! Okay, not really. More like, I was just being an idiot. Ah, well.

It was SO good to see you on Friday. I love Kara and Christy hugs. So good. So solid. So genuine.

I'll be checking in with you now that I know where to find you. :)

I think 4 computers at the table is really too much! ;)

We might as well just stay home and set up a time to all be on gmail at once so that we can have a big gchat session.

Love you!

I was wanting to update his blog with pictures so writing to request your help with holiday party content. We had a wonderful weekend with you. Love, The Briars
