Happy June! Looking forward to a weekend in New Bern with Stephanie :) I get to take the boys on a road trip, see the beach, and get plenty of girl time! J will be busy at home - good luck to all with tryouts!

Someday by Karen Kingsbury (3rd out of a series of 4, but it was a gift so I read it - very touching (like tears) I enjoyed it)
Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (very good)
Raising Kids with Character That Lasts by John Yates and Susan Alexander Yates (inspiring - made me want to work on my habits)
The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian (short chapters, easy to read, and kept my mind on praying)
Underworld by Meg Cabot (book 2 in a retelling of Persephone, I like it)

5 for the month, 43 for the year :)

Happy half-way through the week :) The bad news, I have poison ivy and it's relatively miserable. Sleep was a little hard last night. But good news, husband and I have a date night today out at Twisted Fork :)  And now, about some one else: my sister in law just recently started a blog, Learning Faith + Hope + Love, and not only am I interested because I'm interested in her, but also she and some friends have started a very neat project, and she shares some great perspectives. Happy Wednesday!

All good

Happy Monday/Tuesday :) Looking forward to a short work week! J and I had a great weekend! I'm so glad we got the opportunity to catch up with his family and get a nice visit, we had fun in Ikea, getting a few things and some inspiration, and maybe the most exciting - my younger brother got ENGAGED!! :) He surprised his now fiancee with a mountain top proposal, literally. Her family and friends helped set up a table and cooler with flowers and candles for them to share this sweet moment together. My parents attended their engagement party which sounds like it included some of the town, and loved the future part of our new family. I so look forward to meeting them someday. Hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend :)

We're leaving! Well not too far, but tomorrow morning we're off to go to IKEA and visit my in-laws. It's been a while and I'm excited to see them. I'm really happy to get a 4 day weekend with J :) Today marks 250 days of marriage for us.

It's it fun how a few changes can make your house seem fun again? I'm really enjoying playing recently, while trying to remember that home-maker, while one of my roles, is not one of the first few. I've been reading a book about the power of prayer, and it's amazing how much peace can come with praying more continuously. I'm looking forward to another Bible study tonight :)
