What's Up Wednesday!

What I'm reading...


What Love Is by Kelly Minter.
So I signed up for the women's Bible study at my church and wouldn't you know my calendar got bamboozled and I've only made it to ONE group session.  I'm still reading though!  I'm very used to Lysa Terkeurst stuff so this is a major change of gears.  Minter writes differently and though I'm learning so much from the books of  1 John, 2 John, and 3 John its been tough adjusting to the change of style.  I do get John's important message:  Love one another. As I read I find my spirit opening more to love and less to judgement and criticism.

What I'm reminiscing about...

goober

Meeting my husband.  We met on May 19th, 2006.  I skipped a very close childhood friend's wedding.  It was crazy.  I basically skipped that and went to my first NASCAR race, not fitting in at all with the majority (not a race girl) and ended up meeting a guy who I was like "eww gross" over and ended up thinking "aww sweet" over.  Look at us now....married with two kids, a dog, a house, and a couple cars in the drive.












What I'm loving....



Life.  Seriously, in a day and age when we are bombarded by the sadness of the world I sit in my yard and watch my kids play and listen to my husband chat away about work and I'm realizing how immensely blessed I am.  There is a lot of crazy going on in the world but my life in my little world is going just fine and dandy right now and boy is that a blessing.  Twenties were crazy but my thirties are amazing.

What we've been up to...



Planning the back yard, planning some camping adventures, enjoying these longer days.  I love summer.  (Yes, I know its still spring!)

What I'm dreading...

Three months of no pay.  Let's be real, ya'll.

What I'm working on...

Projects for summer!!!  Stuff for the kids to enjoy and stuff for this chick to enjoy.  I want to paint and refinish some furniture and add in lazy Sundays with friends.

What I'm looking forward to....



Summer break (yes I know I said I'm dreading no pay).  I cannot wait to spend days in the water and have some mornings to possibly sleep past 4:30 or 5.

What I'm excited about...

An upcoming junk sale (old stuff, think flea market) in June.  I'm going to go and I'm going to spend too much money and I'm going to have a blast creating!

What I'm watching...

Fixer Upper, new addict here.  Chip is hilarious and Joanna is fabulous.  Love it.

What I'm listening to...

I just hit the scan button right now.  Nothing has tickled my fancy lately.

What I'm annoyed about...

My kid is pottying for Aunt Teen but not at home.  What?  She is such the baby whisperer.  Honestly, I'd love to know her secrets!

What I'm hoping for...

My daughter to have a blast these last few weeks of school.  It's the end of her first grade year and my heart breaks a little over that.  Get this, they are having a camping theme for the last two weeks of school...isn't that fabulous?!?!?!




What's up with you, darling?
