No Really, I am thankful to God that it is Friday...because, "This is the day the LORD has made, I will rejoice & be glad in it." Each day this week I've had to remind myself of that verse and say, "Okay Lord, Thank you for today...even though it's been a rough one!" It wasn't a bad week...just a week filled with busyness, a lot of multi-tasking and a bit of emotion (or more than a "bit" if you ask my family) .
Before the week began, Jon approached me with an idea. To give up Television during weekdays. Not because we are super awesome people who love to give up things and stare at a big black t.v. screen each night...but because we could possibly use our time more wisely. Now, we do have a DVR and our most favorite shows were recorded and will be watched this weekend. But you know what? I realized that some shows that I've watched for years really didn't seem that important to me -- so I stopped DVR'ing them... So it's Friday now, and I have NOT missed television at all. I've read books, started a new photobook on Shutterfly, talked to my hubby a bit more, etc. I'm not trying to start an anti-TV revolution...just saying that it has been good for our family and for that we're thankful! I hope no one ever asks me to give up Diet Coke! :-{
This was a week of holidays! Ben's 6th Birthday was Monday, Anni's 30th Birthday was Tuesday and our 15th Anniversary was Wednesday. Mix in soccer, gymnastics, fencing, church and a Fun Run at school and that's a pretty fun week! :) Can I just stop here and share with you a thought I had just before falling asleep on Wednesday night? I thought, "15 years is a LONG time to be married!" It's like it just hit me at that moment and I was filled with gratefulness -- Thankful to God for blessing me with Jon.  |
| The Chubby, Snorey One... |
In other news, my dog has issues. Not bad ones...but ones that have kept me on my toes this week. Daisy (the Boxer) has a scratched cornea. {I feel the need to protect the guilty party...but she is short, chubby, snores & sleeps with her tongue out}. Anyway, Daisy had to have her eye stitched shut and wear a big cone on her head. After ripping the stitches out, I took her back to have the eye restitched and we have had her boarded at the vet since then while she is healing. A call from the vet today informed me that Daisy has Hypothyroid and will be on medication everyday for it. All that to say, you know we must love our pups because they are taking up lots of time this week.

| Daisy...So Sad |
In {MORE} other news, I had lunch with a sweet friend from church, had a great discussion with the ladies at Bible Study and have had fun planning the conference our church will be having on Saturday, April 30th. Community Bible Church - Women's Conference
SO, for those of y'all who had the best week...and y'all that had a crazy week...Listen up because each day we need to remind ourselves that "...the Joy of the LORD is our Strength." Nehemiah 8:10
