I didn't set out to have a relaxing weekend, but that's exactly what I had these last two days, and I really couldn't be more grateful.
Friday night, I attended our small group solo because Dave wasn't feeling good. Ever since I left my amazing college small group, I've been a bit intimidated by going to a small group by myself (never mind that I've been going to small groups solo for the 4 years between college and marriage), but I had nothing to worry about on Friday night. Our group is very welcoming, and I'm enjoying getting to know the other members.
Because Dave was unable to go into work on Friday, he worked a few hours on Saturday, but we allowed time to sleep in and go to McDonald's for breakfast before he went to work. While Dave was at church, I ran to the library to pick up
Peculiar Treasures, the latest from Robin Jones Gunn (the author of my all-time favorite Christy Miller series). This book picks up the story of Christy Miller's best friend Katie. It may be meant for junior highers, but I'm enjoying it. Dave woke me up from an impromptu nap around 2, so I drove back to church to pick him up before we headed to Portillo's for lunch, to the cleaners, and then back to the library so Dave could pick out some books for himself. (I tell you, we are such bookworms!) The rest of the night, I slowly but surely worked on my ironing pile (I still have a few pieces left) and happily put our summer comforter on the bed. After seeing our navy blue duvet cover all winter, I'm really enjoying the turquoise, khaki, and cream comforter now gracing our bed. It feels like summer has arrived!
Today was busy, just like every Sunday is, but we managed to have two successful kids services and a JBQ meeting afterward. When we left church at 2, I realized we'd been there for more than 6 hours! No wonder I sometimes feel like I'm working a second job.
It's just a part of being a pastor's wife. We rewarded our hard work with a drive and lunch at a restaurant we've been wanting to check out for a while. We returned home around 4 and relaxed. I watched a sermon from Crosspoint Church in Nashville and miraculously didn't fall asleep during it. Haha! After a few hours, we treated ourselves (again) to Dairy Queen. Yum! Now, I'm procrastinating my final ironing work by blogging.
I'm really glad we had a slower weekend. After the last post, I'd say it was much needed.
