Weeeeekend Recap!

Let me just preface this recap by saying that I only have 4 more weekend recaps to write before Ryan will be in them.  That, my friends, is exciting :)

Friday
Friday, Friday, Friday...

I mourned the loss of our Financial class 

Ate a meal of 3 Oreos and 1 chocolate chip cookie

Found death in the form of a workout via  Jillian Michaels on YouTube

Considered starting "Project: Look Like Giselle" with the help of Jillian Michaels

Started an art project with Jillian (my friend... not the trainer)

Ate half a pizza for my second meal

Saturday

For the past few years my church has had a "Service Sunday" where the congregation is encouraged to sign up for a service project that helps our community.  This year we extended Service Sunday to Service Sunday Weekend!  Also, this year I have a toddler and an infant so I did not sign up for anything... although I really meant to and totally could have done something. 

Anyways... I got a call from one of the volunteers that were buying groceries and delivering them to homes saying that my home was on the list to deliver to!  I was shocked... SHOCKED! Really, I so did not expect that AT ALL.  Well, a few minutes later I had a couple from my church hauling  tons of groceries into my kitchen.  The prayed with me, (and Jillian, she was over... yes we do see each other almost every day) I thanked them and they were gone, leaving behind a table full of goodies.

 I.AM.SO.BLESSED.  I mean, seriously... that was amazing... I am beyond thankful to my church family for thinking of my and my kids while Ryan is away.  I don't know what I would do without them in my life.  If you are in the Brooklyn Park area of Minnesota and are looking for a church, I so so recommended Edinbrook.  Let me know you are coming and I'll save you a seat :)

After running out for a few supplies, Jillian and I came back to my house and started preparing another project... one that may or may not totally fail.  Here's a preview...

Yeah... it could have already failed... I don't know. Our friend Bre who is still in town from Alabama came over right before the storm and hung out with us as we tried our project.  She is super creative... she makes little flower headbands and clips... so so cute!  It's good to have her home for a little bit!

Sunday

I'm glad I went to church today... let me tell you.  If you want to get a little push in the right direction click here and listen to "Why Not - Service Sunday".  It's all about asking "why not" vs. asking "why"... really really good stuff!

After church the kids and I came home and napped... well they napped, I Skyped with Ryan, wasted time on Facebook and avoided thinking about Jillian Michaels.  We headed out to church once again so I could help out with the drama parts of the youth mission trip.  They are going to Miami to do some manual labor and head up a VBS for kids that have come to America from Haiti.  We have lots of work to do before they leave because after hearing the "Why Not" sermon we decided to teach them "The Puzzle" (a children's play that our  youth group has done before involving a box of toys that help a little girl learn about Jesus, singing, dancing, and over-the-top acting... all on a CD so the actors lip-synch the whole thing) so they could have it to perform in Miami.  They leave on June 11th. Ooooh boy!  A little crazy...but it's good!

I am now in bed... thinking about the craziness that is my life and how full it's going to be these next few weeks.  The fuller the better at this point because if you look to the right a little bit and scroll either up or down you will see a dainty little 29... yes, 29 days until Ryan comes home for 2 whole weeks!  Hallelujah! I am antsy and being busy keeps my mind off it :)

I hope your weekends were enjoyable... and that your week ahead looks exciting!
