happy july!

can you believe it's july 1st? i know - i say that every 2 weeks, like clockwork - but time is just going SO FAST!

i had a very nice weekend. friday night, "date night" consisted of a home depot run, potting some herbs, and staining our picnic table together. saturday was almost painfully relaxing. matt had the car all day, so i was forced to spend some quality time at home, and it was so good for me. i accompished quite alot, including the picture on the left there - reorganizing the frames on my picture collage wall, which had become somewhat disarrayed. i'm pretty pleased with the layout now.

and sunday was exhaustingly awesome. it was a long morning, including a free pancake breakfast before church to celebrate the 4th of July, at which our kids came up to lead the adults in the pledge of allegiance - to the flag we made last month. that was the highlight of my morning. and our kids service was equally awesome - good numbers, good teaching, and more helpers than usual, which let me relax a little and focus on the things i needed to focus on, making the day practically a breeze.

exciting week ahead - matt works short days every day this week, the lucky bum, and of course wednesday is the holiday. the picnic table is coming along - and we're having company wednesday to give ourselves a deadline. and i still can't believe it's july. next thing we know, it'll be christmas. hehehe.
