What a Weekend!! I need another day to recover

So this weekend was as busy and went by just as fast as I thought it might.

I spent Friday and most of Saturday at the Women of Faith Conference with my mom, aunt and grandma. It was so good for my soul to worship and listen to words that will help me be a better mother, wife, sister and friend. It was good to step away from the distractions of life and be in an arena full of believers and just listen. Like I said in my post last Monday, I feel like I am at a point that I need to shut up and listen and see where God sends me. This helped! I'm also really looking forward to reading the book "Choosing to SEE" by Mary Beth Chapman, their story is one of grief, finding strength through Jesus in that grief, and trying to survive after the loss of a child; a story that hits close to home in my family. I also looooved the music, felt good to sing!!

We also spent time with family at my cousin's 25th bday party, we are only a month apart and it was good to celebrate with her as she is sooo busy with nursing school that we don't see eachother that often right now.

I also got to spend Sunday morning in the way that I love best, lazy and laying around in bed with Matt and Lydia, she played with her toys and napped while we were just bums for a few hours and it was great to just be us, just the 3 of us! (ok and 3 furry friends might have joined in) I got to visit with some high school friends at a bridal shower, I actually used to ride the bus in elementary school with lexie and it was fun to see her glowing in that way that only a bride can as we just oooo and aww over gifts and the love that her and Ben share!

I have pictures but my computer was acting up at home last night so I don't have them to share this morning but I will leave you with this picture for now.

We love you Uncle Matt and Aunt Laura!! They start their first day of a new semester up at Purdue today and they moved back up last week, after a fun filled summer with Aunt "Waura" being home and Uncle Matt coming to visit when he could we will miss having them around all the time BUT football is coming soon and we can't wait to see them almost every weekend :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and make it a good Monday!!
