Super Saturday

I am so proud of myself. I have had a seriously productive Saturday. It seems like we ALWAYS have something to do on the weekends. For once, I had a free day to spend with Kyle and get some things done!

We ran a ton of errands this morning, including the auto parts store, Kohl's (I found a super cute garden flag there!), Wal-mart and the grocery store. It was such a beautiful, warm, sunny day and I felt the need to be outside for as long as possible so I decided to wash my car while Kyle was changing the oil in his car. I had so much energy left after all that so I decided to dust the downstairs, clean the kitchen, do some laundry, do 3 days worth of my Bible study and cook dinner. I'm surprised I haven't crashed yet, but until then I'm lounging on the couch and watching some TV!!

I love days like today!!

I heart you

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Especially to my sweet hubby, Kyle! I love him like crazy and I love being married to him.

We decided for the first time this year to stay home and cook our own Valentine's dinner. It just wasn't worth the stress this year to deal with the traffic and crowds to out somewhere. So we made a delicious meal of steak and shrimp, loaded baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, rolls and red velvet cupcakes for dessert!! We ate by candle light in our dining room for the first time ever. (Kyle is not a romantic!) After dinner I begged and pleaded to watch "The Proposal" so he finally gave it. It was a cute movie, I cried three times. The end.

Busy

Recently a friend told me that being busy means Being Under Satan's Yoke. Ouch. Although that may not be theologically accurate, it did make perfect sense to me. When I'm busy I tend to make less time for prayer and studying God's word. Being busy sometimes means that I get my priorities all out of whack. I also tend to get stressed when I have a lot on my plate which usually makes me irritable and grumpy towards others. When I'm tired and stressed, I'm physically, emotionally and spiritually vulnerable. It's easy to make rash, unwise and regrettable decisions. Sigh.... never the less, I'm still busy. Hopefully after next weekend I will be less busy. Don't get me wrong, I'm busy doing wonderful things like hanging out with friends, having a Super Bowl Party, planning events for Women's Ministry, beating Kyle at bowling, working, reading, studying... everything except for blogging apparently! However I would definitely enjoy some downtime in the near future. That is exactly why I canceled everything on the agenda for tonight and I am spending the evening at home with my husband. I am going to make some enchiladas and we're watching a movie from Red Box.


By the way, I am still keeping up with memorizing my verses for the Siesta Scripture Memory Team.


My Jan 15th verse was:

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." - Ephesians 4:29


and my Feb 1st verse was:

" Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather in humility, value others above yourselves." - Philippians 2:3



Also I thought I needed to share this with everyone. I was extremely proud of  my football cheese ball I made for our Super Bowl party. You know you like it.

I hope everyone has a fun and restful weekend!! :)
