I sat down to write a little post on our fun weekend, and as a I started pursuing through my latest photos I realized that there has been so much happening in the past couple of weeks. One of life's biggest blessings right now is having the Mr. off on Sundays or Saturdays (it keeps switching back and forth). Since my grad school is out for summer and I only have work to focus on right now, it feels like I can be much more intentional in our time together.
Last weekend we reinstated our traditional Sunday Pancakes morning and tried out pumpkin protein pancakes. I love that the Mr. is always willing to try my crazy recipe finds. They were good, but I was out of a key ingredient, so they're definitely on my list to try again.
That same weekend we got TWO whole days off due to the holiday, so we headed to the beach early Monday morning to get in some quiet time. Lately I've been very convicted of not spending enough time on reading my bible. I was listening to one of Joyce Meyer's podcasts and she basically said if we expect to grow we must be fed, through God's word. What better way to soak God's word in than being surrounded by His amazing creation.
We finished the morning with the perfect lattes from my new favorite coffee shop. SO good!
This past Friday I had the extreme privilege of meeting up with Meg and attend the Queen Bee Market. I was in heaven! It was my first Queen Bee Market, and I loved all of the cute and adorable crafts. It completely motivated me to get crafty and I definitely mentally added some projects to my summer bucket list.
Speaking of projects...I was able to get some work done on a current project we are working on for our bathroom. Pictures coming soon!
This past Saturday was my school's gala, our largest fundraiser of the year. It basically means getting all pretty, talking with parents, and getting auctioned off-literally! All of the teachers auction of a day for a student to spend with them. I had to be auctioned off live, in front of everyone, but made the school some money!
I LOVE these ladies! On Sunday the five of us got together for a scrumptious brunch at my house. There is just something about quiche, striped paper straws, mimosas made with fresh orange juice, and great company.
We ended our weekend in the best way possible- seeing our adorable niece and nephew! The Mr. and I went swimming with miss Calli and my brother in law, then we all made dinner together. I love that we can go to brother and sister in law's and feel like we are at home. I also love how sweet little Calli immediately says "Me see me" whenever my phone is out. She is such a smarty! She totally knows how to unlock her mom's phone and go straight to the app she wants!
Oops, I forgot how our weekend really ended....
THE best way...
fro-yo!!!!
If you don't know by now, I have a bad crush on frozen yogurt. If I could, I would go every day. It also says something that our picture is on the wall at our local place.
Hope you had a fabulous weekend!!
