Saturday

Yesterday at Dominion was fantastic. We got Sonic on the way, which made the kids ecstatic. I was pretty happy that my grilled chicken sandwich came on a wheat bun. I finished my book right as we got to Dominion. Most people fished, and I watched from the front porch swing, listening to Country music, wearing cowgirl boots, drinking iced tea, and knitting. Then the sun set, and it was perfect. When it got darker we sat around the fire, then all played Mexican Train before bed.

Things I Love About Today-
snuggling with and tickling Mary
eating cereal from a mug
blue jeans and cowgirl boots
knitting up a storm out by the firepit
running/walking/hiking with Mary
picking flowers for Mama
laying in the clover
finally reading Madeline's Senior Research Paper
painting with Mary
being inspired by Madsey's paper to be a little more abstract
(which for me, isn't very abstract- I'm usually a perfectionist!)
chilling on the hammock
listening to RUF music on the way home
taking pizza orders
NOT going to three store and only buying something from one of them
but I did like going to them with Elijah :)
making strawberry muffins
wrapping presents with Nathan (he just watched)

Verse of the Day-
Romans 6:20-23

"When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Quote of the Day-
Rachel: I would say to them, "you'd better not flirt with me or my 6 brothers will beat you up!"
Elijah: Yeah, and one of them is with you!
Rachel: Would you beat them up for me?
Elijah: well, I could tickle them...
