Wow! What a crazy 2 weeks we've had. I intended on being back to the blog last week, but after we finished volunteering at the Nazarene General Assembly, we jumped in both feet into garage sale mode. We left late in the week to head up north to where the garage sale was with family and friends. We had great success with the garage sale, which I'm thankful for! Yesterday was the first day of doing nothing in almost 2 weeks and I spent the day trying to get my head back on straight and things organized. The postman hurt his back at work 2 weeks ago so he's been home on medical leave. He's seeing a doctor and physical therapist and hopefully will be able to return back to work tomorrow! It's been nice having him home and being able to spend time together as a family, but I know he's anxious to get back to the post office. Ok, so I planned my menu through Friday for this week. Tonight we are possibly going to eat dinner at the food court in the mall and heading to the Disney Store so the kids can each pick out a toy. We sold lots of their old toys at the garage sale, so we told them they could spend some of the money we made from them and get something new. But, we're in the throws of grandparent come down, so we're working on getting back to good behavior. So, the mall is dependent on making good choices on the kids part today. Monday- Green Beans, Sausage, and Potatoes Tuesday- Food Court @ the Mall. Probably Chick-fil-A. Wednesday- BBQ Pork Ribs. I love these. They are just small boneless ribs. I put them in the crock pot with a bit of water and cook until they are tender. Then I drain them, add bbq sauce, and cook them a few more minutes. YUM! Thursday- We're heading to a parade, festival, and fireworks for the 4th of July so we'll be taking a picnic dinner to eat while we're there. I'll probably just fix sandwiches. Friday- Brats. It's like a rule at our house that we have to eat ribs and brats the week of 4th of July. So, since it's just sandwiches on the actual holiday, we'll do brats today. I ge regular brats and we grill them. Verse of the Week I chose the verse of the week this week as a bit of a reminder to myself of all the things that I heard preached about at General Assembly 2 weeks ago. The church we belong to identifies themselves as a holiness denomination and it was good to hear some good preaching and teaching about what that means. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
- 1 Peter 3:9 Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Oh, we're in meltdown central today! Although, it hasn't been as bad as yesterday!
