Week 21!!! And going strong!! woot! woot! I still find that I forget to take out my camera at times and get so mad at myself later......but I am getting there!!!I'd like to ask ya'll to be praying for me this week.
I will be driving to Dallas, Monday, to drop my youngest son at the DFW airport. He is going on a trip to Germany with his grandparents and they are flying in and meeting him there. They will be gone for 2 weeks touring the castles of Germany!!! Please pray for safe travel!
This trip has been planned for a long time and I had originally planned to spend the week with my Aunt. However, most of you know that she passed away in March and so my plans have changed. I am going to spend the night with a good friend in Mansfield and then Wednesday I will be meeting my cousin at my Aunt's house to help her continue to clean it out.
It will be my first time back in the house since her funeral. I have been dreading it for days. I know it will be good for me and my grieving process and I want to help my cousin....
....... but I just am not looking forward to seeing it empty and changed.
My cousin has worked so hard (by herself) going through all my Aunt's things. She was hoping to have a garage sale next weekend, but there's still too much to go through.
So I ask that you pray for my emotions as I go through another "first" in this grieving process. And that I will be able to help my cousin as much as possible. Thanks.
I so appreciate you!!

I’m going to put Jared’s name in our church’s prayer room tomorrow.
I will also remember you as you revisit your aunt’s home and her life with your cousin this week. Life is SO good and may you be reminded of HIS blessings to you and your family from this incredible lady’s life!!!
LEGOS!! Yea! My favorite past-time with my littlest ones!
I enlarged the book club photo and I don’t recognize any of the books. Call my “out of touch.” LoL…
30 x 15? Still? . . . Phase 3!!!?? I’m not into deliberate and on-purpose exercise, ;-o
but – Water! Absolutely!! Awesome photo. What kind of water is this?
Outside music lesson reminds me of orchestra camp.
I love this photo of Father & Son! Question is: What are each of them reading? . . . Your grass is SO green!
Wonderful chronicle of your week! Have a blessed Lord's Day - safety in your travels and God's richest blessings . . .
~es.
Love the pics.
Have a safe trip to Dallas. I hope you and your cousin have some sweet times remembering your aunt, and that God's grace and strength will be with you each step of the way.
Hugs to you Sara. I'll be praying that you will be strong, helpful, and filled with good memories.
Looks like a couple of fun groups to hang with. :-)
Hey that trekkie. LOL, I can't wait to see it even though I am a Next Generation fan.
I will be praying for you this week!
Sara, this is such rich post in so many ways, from sorrow to joy and back again. Thanks for sharing, and they are lovely pics.
Esthermay - thanks for your prayers!! that is a Smart Water bottle, my neighbor swears by it. however, it is just tap water in the bottle....I just borrowed the bottle from her!! so I don't know what the Smart water tastes like!! :) and as for the boys: Jason is reading a guitar magazine and Steve is reading Finding Your True North, by Bill George.
Becky....I am not a next generation fan either.. this is a story of the original characters and they had some of their quirks down PERFECT. I waited every week for a new episode to come out when I was a teen!
Lots of prayers being said, Sara, I can't imagine how hard it will be for you, but you're probably right about it helping with the grieving process.
Prayers also being said for your son, what an exciting trip for him!!!
I had no idea how close you were to the DFW area, I was born and lived several years in Arlington and Fort Worth, many of my family still live there!! I will be there next year around Labor Day and would love to meet!
Great pictures this week. :o)
♥ Tiff
Love your pictures this week! Oh legos bring back such memories. :) I will keep both you and Jared in my prayers this week. What an awesome adventure for him! The beautiful weather has FINALLY made it here as well. I love it!
What an exciting opportunity for your son! Be sure and share some of his castle photos with us :-)
Hope your week is not too emotional as you help your cousin deal with the contents of the house. Praying for you!
It took three hours to upload photos and get my Project 365 post done. Ugh. Glad we don't have such slow internet all the time!
I will be praying for you - I know that's hard. And for your boy - how exciting though! That wil be a great trip!
LOVE you pics - hair still looks great!
Deutschland! What an opportunity! Would you believe, we lived there four years and visited anry a castle, zilch, zero, NOT ONE :(
Dallas/different plans...I pray that you and cousin will have a wonderful mix of memories and emotions--laugh, cry, share, remember, learn & love!
Safe travels to all!
Guitar magazine! hahahahahaha
vs. "Finding Your True North". . .
Hmmmmm - Is this really "like Father, like son?"
Still: a great photo! Love it.
NOT that there's anything wrong with Guitar Magazine.
:-)
Prayers for your travels...and your son's. DFW Airport is a whopping 10 minutes from my house! Germany would be loads of fun. I will be praying for your task, not quite as fun.
I loved the photos. And am having fun taking my own. Yes, it is difficult to remember on some days.
What a fantastic bunch of memories your son and his grandparents will share. I envy them!
I'll pray that you and your cousin are able to remember and celebrate your aunt's life. I know it'll be hard.
What an opportunity your son has, but that IS far away and for a long time. I imagine your time at your aunt's house will be difficult, but I am praying you have some "kisses from the King" experiences while you are there.
Love it when the weather is nice enough to sit outside like that...good male bonding time, too.
Still lovin' your new hair!
Have a good week in your travels, lady!
I have a recent picture of Miles and his Daddy sitting outside on the patio reading car magazines...so true-like father like son :)
Looks like you had a great week Sara. I'm working on my post now. Should be up soon.
Dearest Sara...what an enjoyable week! I hope you had a lovely Sunday!!
Jill

I'll be praying for you this week as I'm sure it will be a tough time emotionally.
