Oh man! What a week it has been! I can't believe we're already more than half way through February! The time is going so quickly. I'm alright with that though, I'm ready for spring!
Ok, so onto my favorites this week. I'm surprised I came up with five because quite honestly, I can't remember most of the week! 1. Valentine's Day! We had such a great day! Macie and I enjoyed going to Emmy's school for her party! Then we relaxed in the afternoon and enjoyed pink heart pancakes for dinner. Then we watched a movie before the girls went to bed. It was a great day! :-) 2. DEBT FREE!! Ok, we're not 100% debt free. We've got school loans we'll be paying for years and one other random outstanding debt that is really what I described it- random. But other than that, we were able to pay off our credit card debt, a loan, and outstanding medical bills this week. It's a great feeling! 3. Lent started this week and I went back and forth about what I wanted to fast. I knew I wanted to do something and I wanted it to be something that wasn't easy for me to do. I kept coming up with fasting pop but I didn't figure that would be super hard for me. WRONG!! Oh man, today is the first day I've felt remotely normal. I've had a terrible headache and my stomach has been queasy. Guess pop was a good decision! I can see how it's addicting! Yesterday it seemed like all I could think about was diet coke! Is this a favorite? No. But it has been a highlight! 4. Yesterday's blog post. It took me a few days to write yesterday's post. I had been thinking about it for a little over a week and I decided to go ahead and do it. Aaron read most of it before I posted it because I wanted us to both be ok with what I put out there about our situation. He was good with it, so up it went. And what a relief. I wasn't positive how well it would be received, because let's just be honest- Christian's don't have problems. Yesterday's post isn't 100% of our story, and someday we hope to be able to tell all of it, but right now isn't the time. I got a lot of positive feedback on the post and I hope that it will continue to do what it was intended to do- let people know that nothing is hopeless. God is faithful and capable of anything, even when we feel like we're past the end. 5. I GOT MY FURNITURE!!!! Oh man, I'm so excited! It looks great! Once I get my end tables refinished I'll do a living room reveal. So sorry, no pictures yet! I hope that you have a great weekend! It's a long one for most people, and I'm thankful for that! I'll be back on Monday with our Menu and the new verse of the week!
