Well...our weekend wasn't jammed backed with action packed adventure but it was a nice weekend. Damon had to work on Saturday so that allowed me to clean our humble abode. There is something nice about walking into and around a nice clean house. I don't care if it smells like pinesol or not but fresh vaccumed carpets just feel good.
I am so lucky to have the Mother and the girlfriends I have. I got to have a great time with my Mother non-shopping (we actually walked the mall and other stores and didn't buy anything!), and then we met my great friends, Jenn and Brittany, and my new friend Sherry for dinner. We all got to laugh and giggle over fondue at the Melting Pot. YUM!! I'm licking my lips right now! Marinated steak, shrimp and Flaming Turtle Chocolate, oh my! Gunna have to get some more of that soon. Well... as soon as my pocket book recovers. :/
Sunday we were finally able to go back to church. It is nice to end the weekend with our friends there. It is odd how easy it is to sleep in and choose to do chores over going to church. But when you do get up and go to church you are more productive and feel complete all day long. Today we had a guest deliver the sermon. He did a great job at delivering a very true to home message. He tried to make you think about how your reflect God. Do you reflect him acurately like a clean, prestine mirror or do you reflect him like a shattered, distorted mirror? I would like to think that I do a good job of acurately reflecting him, but I know myself well enough to know that that isn't always the care. I struggle with language and finding time to study the bible like I should. It is easier for me to persue my careers goals and personal dreams then to put life on hold for a few minutes and study His word. It was just an analogy that really seemed to hit home with me today. We look in mirrors all day long. How does our hair look? Our make-up? Our clothes? But how often do we look into a mirror and say "Do I have a Christian reflection?" "Does my reflection meet His expectations and wants?" I know I don't ask that very often, or at least not as often as I should. It is just funny how we haven't been to church in a while and yet the day we go, the sermon is really touching.
Another fun thing that happend this weekend was our little Pup turn 1!! Yes, our little chewer is growing up. We went to the pet store and bought her a new football that squeeks and she has played with it all night! Squeek, Squeek, SQUEEK! I don't know why but she just loves squeeky toys and loves to squeek then in the most inopportune times. LOL! Oh well...seeing her play is pretty enjoyable. She may tear a few things up every now and then but I cannot see our little family being complete without her. We LOVE our Chunk!
Finally, my parents blessed us with a dresser and hutch for our bedroom! We gained like 5 dresser drawers and our room looks so grown up with matching furniture! :-) I already organized and filled the drawers and placed my picture frames (some still needing pictures, shocker right?!) on top. Our little place is more of a home now. I kind of like it.
Well, that is it for now. The goals for this week is to train some Muay Thai, get a group for Muay Thai together and stay awake long enough to watch ECLIPSE!! Woo Hoo!! Go Team Edward...I mean Jacob...no Edward...oh I don't know. As long as I have good friends to enjoy the movie with and a tub of popcorn, I don't have a side. Until next time...I hope everyone has a great week full of laughs and love.
Such a cute blog!
