We had such a great day. We did get rain today, but that was the only bummer. We relaxed a lot in the morning and early afternoon. The kids got to play outside with their friends for a bit before the rain came in which was nice.
We headed to our new friends house later in the afternoon. Oh, what a blessing it was. This couple is so very sweet and their kids are so nice. The guys grilled some burgers and hot dogs in the rain and the oldest son made a great apple crisp. The food was awesome, but the fellowship was even better. We had such sweet conversations and the kids had fun playing with their kids. Sarah is getting really good at playing with girls younger than her, and she had lots of fun. Paulie and the boy are near the same age, so they got along great. We just felt such a closeness with this couple. Truly, I can't wait until we get together again. I'll be seeing her and the kids at playgroup tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. Otherwise we'll see them at church on Wednesday night. As nervous as I was, I am so blessed we made the plans. It's always so good to get know new people and see what the Lord has planned. The wife and I had so much in common, it was weird. Her and I are near the same age, and so are our husbands. Which believe me is odd if you knew all of our ages. And other different things were very similar. It was so sweet. We'll have them over sometime soon. And her and I and the kids will probably try and get together for a play time some time too.
Now we are home and I'm doing some VBS work. No school tomorrow, our first week of summer break. It feels refreshing just thinking about it. Now if the rain would just stop so we can enjoy the outside more.
That's always the way it is for me too! So hard to make myself socialize, but usually love every minute of it once I'm there.
I'm glad you had a good Memorial Day (except for the rain). :D
I am so glad you had a good day! It's so nice to get together with friends, seems we don't do it enough around here. I need to fix that problem. I am glad your day was a blessed one.
I am very glad you had such a nice time. I pray blessings on this new friendship. This week end we were blessed with getting to know this one hs family better too. There son is on the curling team with my boys. We had a great time.
Sounds like a great Memorial Day weekend for you! I really like your flowers too, they are so pretty! I can't wait to have some flowers growing around here. It is still pretty cold here, but warming up more and more!
Glad to you made some new friends and you all have much in common - the start of a good friendship!
Enjoy your summer vacation. I'm still waiting for warm weather, but the busy times have set into full gear. I'll pm you with the recipe. Have a good week!!!
Hey JoAnn,
I'm getting ready to leave for vacation, but I wanted to drop you a line and let you know I was thinking about you. Norm got a job (yeah), it's all on the site if you want to read about it.
This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
