Project 365 - Week 42

Week 42.

This week was a true roller coaster.  Starting out with a huge disappointment of Jared getting sick and missing his marching band competition.  And yet ending with so much excitement.  Seeing my daughter and getting to meet 2 blogging friends.

At this moment I am sitting at my friends house, relaxing.  She is a HUGE Auburn fan and my other friend who came with me is a HUGE Arkansas fan.  I am having more fun watching the two of them than I am watching the game!!!  They have drawn lines on the sofa!!!  Sports fans are so funny!

Here's my week:
Sunday
Our dear friends the Schellhases are back for a very quick visit.  It has been a year since we have seen them and it was so good to give them a hug!!!  They are missionaries in Niger.


After a great visit with Jason, I had to sadly say goodbye to him.
Monday

These 3 items = one sick boy!  :(
Tuesday
 Since Jared is sick (and I am not feeling to good myself), I am home for the day.  So I spent the afternoon putting together a photo book of my Boston trip.

Wednesday

My college boy will be home this weekend.
I will be seeing my college girl.  
So I decided everyone needed some homemade cookies!
Thursday

Flying to Houston tonight to see my girl!
The sunset was so beautiful landing in Dallas!!
Friday
What a GREAT day!!!!
Alyssa and I spent the morning touring and interviewing at the University of Houston.  She really likes the program and it was a great morning!
 
 Then we met two of my blogging friends for lunch...
 You know it is a strange phenomena spending time with someone you have never met and yet you feel like you have known each other forever.  Two hours went by in a blink.  I loved getting to know these two ladies in person and also talking about our ministry connection.   They are both as sweet in person as they are on their blogs and I am so thrilled that they took the time to meet me!!!

Saturday
Today was very fun.
A lot of hanging out.  
Watching football.
We ended the day with a wonderful dinner at a Tai restaurant...yum!


 My great friends Susan and Wendi

My awesome daughter and me!

Aren't those photo books just a blessing?!? I was a scrapbooker and then I had my second child and it all went out the window, but thank heavens for Shutterfly and Snapfish! I make the kids a book every year, and your idea of making one for trips is a GREAT one! Sara, I love seeing your pictures, you give such a good sense of what life is like and I love that. I will admit I envy that picture of You, Linda and H-Mama...I just live so far away from y'all! :(

What a fun week! Love the view fling in to Houston.
I was sorry to hear Jared was sick, but glad about his good attitude.
Alyssa looks fabulous! And you look very happy being with her!!
Have a great week!

Roller coaster-what an accurate description! Hope everyone is feeling well. Jell-O water is a must for sickies around here!

Bummer about missing the band competition but what a fun way to end your week. What fun to meet bloggy friends...I have never had the chance to meet any of mine! Those cookies look delish. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Wonderful pictures of such a big week!

Now I'm hungry for chocolate chip cookies!

Lisa said...

Busy week! Not surprising for you though. :) Lots of kid time...yay! I really like your white shirt in that picture with Alyssa.

Shutterfly does such a good job with their products and they usually have good deals going on.

Uh oh... as soon as I saw those 3 items, I was like "There's the sick picture" - the remedy is universal :)

Deb said...

So thankful we got to be with you last Sunday, though our time in Little Rock was way too short. Every hug was like honey for the soul.

We love you!

Since you were able to fly out to see your daughter (and blogging buddies) I assume you didn't catch Jared's bug. Good!
