My Weekend…

First of all, thank you for those of you who committed to pray for Marisa, I cant tell you how much it means. If you missed the post about her, scroll down.

Now, my weekend. Friday, after a day of homeschool, Mark took me to Carrabba’s Italian Grill for dinner. Even though I didn’t eat much, the atmosphere was just amazing. Then we went to the Hyatt and ordered a few movies, and went straight to bed ;)

The next morning, we had breakfast downstairs and off we went to pick up the kids. Laura came over to watch them (my parents had prior engagements) so that we could meet our very good friends from the Tampa area for lunch. We had an amazing time talking with them, they are such a wonderful couple.

Sunday I actually felt well enough to go to church and sing. I can’t tell you how much that did for my spirit.

After church, we met my dear friend Mae Beth. She had come down from Jacksonville for her daughter, Sarah’s Lacrosse game, and wanted to meet for lunch, so of course we agreed. Her and Chuck are some of our oldest and dearest friends. We met them while I was pregnant with Easton, and she was actually in the delivery room when I was giving birth to Elijah :) Chuck and Mark have been in numerous churches together. Mae Beth has taught me so much about being a Christian wife and a mother, it was great to see her!

Monday, we went to my parents house and grilled. My husband and kids swam, and mom, dad and I sat on the lanai (screened in back porch) and talked while we watched them. I was exhaustedly blessed :)

It was a great weekend, filled with tons of memories (and completely wore me out)!

Here is a picture from our balcony :)

Thank you, Lord for blessing my life.
