Finally Friday

Do you eat breakfast? I'm not sure I'd handle going without. I've almost always been a cereal person, with the occasional oatmeal. When I worked later at work, sometimes I'd make myself egg in toast, and they were incredible to enjoy. Recently, J has been making variations of bacon and eggs in the morning. I love being able to get a few bites in :)

This weekend, I'm looking forward to a bridal shower for a wedding I'm in, in August, hanging with friends and working on crafts, and having a weekend that hubby isn't working :)

Happy mid-week :) Looking forward to seeing Bible Study girls tonight, having J off of work for a week, and using the groceries we got. 

The above verse was the memory verse I had to teach St. Lucian kids on a missionary trip. We put on vacation Bible school for a few different churches, as well as a neighborhood one. I was so nervous standing in front of every one. The best day for memorizing was actually when some materials were lost and I had to improvise. Funny how things work sometimes :)

So we've been married for 7 months! I'm so happy :) Reading the marriage books has helped me focus on being the best wife I can be, in Christ, and so thankful for the husband that I have! I've been treated to breakfast these last two mornings when J has come home from night shifts :) I got to explore BJs last night. Thankfully I went with my mom and she was able to help guide me a little bit. 

Recently it's really hit me how uneasy love is. We like to think it's natural, and maybe self-love is, but actually showing love to others, especially those that resist giving it back, is actually really hard! Just interesting.

Happy Friday (the 13th)!! J and my brother are taking the PE today - thinking and praying for them! It's an intense all day thing. Looking forward to watching my parents' dog Cooper (Sully and Dash love him), seeing girls tonight, hopefully getting a haircut and a few other things done. Have a great weekend :)

Getting a little vacation in was so wonderful. I loved getting to know my in-laws better, get some concentrated time with my hubby, long walks on the beach, a little sun, and one of the best things, sleep. The room we stayed in had no windows and was like being a cave, therefore, long nights :) It was great to recharge and get some reflection on what we're doing (I was reading my favorite marriage book yet). Hope everyone's been having a good week!
