Dear Maintenance Man,
Although you sure are friendly and awfully chipper a list of acceptable activities does not include power-washing the building at 8:30 am! Nor does it include stomping through the house next door slamming every available door and window - they all function, promise! Next time you are evaluating the trash pick-up schedule, please do not hesitate to consult me or my husband - 7:30 am on a Saturday morning is not really convenient for those of us who want to sleep in on the weekend. Let me know if you have any issues which need further clarification.

Well, now that I am fully awake, I'll get on with my day. Happy Wednesday! Enjoy it!

It's Jesus day!


Yay for Jesus day! Joe and I were just talking and this is a snippet of our morning conversation, lol. I even heard him say, we should get t-shirts made, how funny!

So, Spa Night last night was amazing! First off, the neighbor's daughter was at our house and when I went to leave she told me "make a new friend" - how absolutely sweet is that?!? It was exactly the encouragement I needed since I was a little apprehensive, especially when I pulled into the parking lot and my little civic was the only car - everything else in the lot was a minivan! Every single person was so nice and welcoming and I met some really cool people. For the first time since we've been here, I feel like I am starting to belong. I finally feel like myself again. Hallelujah! Last night was so encouraging and I really hope I can get to know even more people. Two of the girls I really felt like I connected with live in my development - one is even in walking distance! So exciting! Oh and ps, I drove the whole way there and back without stalling my car at all!!! That is a momentous indeed!

We have a full day today - church, then off to buy some chairs for the patio (we have no where to sit), and we're going to work on the back yard. I have a feeling it's going to be quite the process as we are planning on tearing up the whole yard. We realized the other day that we have NO grass - it's all just weeds and these pricker plants. We're going to try to make it a nice yard. So step one starts today. Oh and we will be going to the beach today - after all that work, yay!

Praise our God for He is good!

I love the weekend!

So the neighbors asked us if we could walk their dog around two today, of course it definitely wasn't a problem. The dog, Denali, is an absolute sweetheart - she is a boxer after all and boxers (especially Harley-pup ♥ #19) have a special place in my heart. Joe and I decided to take a nice long walk around the neighborhood. He brought his camera and we grabbed a ball and Denali and set off. Gorgeous day for a walk - the weather couldn't be more perfect. We walked for a little over an hour and are both absolutely wiped out! Hopefully we wore Denali out too! Joe's already passed out on the couch and I'm not too far behind him. That sun must have taken more out of us then we realized! Here's to lazy Saturday afternoons (♥ #20) and naps (♥ #21)!
I have fun plans for tonight (spa night with the ladies from church, I hope it will be fun) so I better rest up! Off to catch some Zzzz's.
