So far today...

The little men in my life and I stayed with my sister this weekend, and we were able to do so many fun things in a short period of time! The boys got lots of quality time in with their aunt while Jon and I went to the {heartbreaking} ISU/Nebraska game. On Sunday I was able to head back to my sorority house for Founder's Day and realize that I.don't.know.anyone.there. Oh, and that... my clothes and shoes are not cute. Being there made me want to go shopping (and add a couple inches to the collegians' skirts). We enjoyed a Sunday afternoon with friends and this morning we joined my former Bible study girls for a couple of hours.

I knew I missed that group of gals, tremendously, but didn't realize just how much until I had to fight back tears on the drive home (don't get me wrong, I'm not changing my tune from my previous post, I just realllllllly miss seeing those gals every week). We just had GREAT encouraging conversation. Afterward, one of our friends sent us an e-mail with various prayers/quotes in the message and one just made me laugh. It is cute, and well, oh so true... So, I just felt the need to share it tonight:

Dear Lord, 

So far today, I am doing all right.

I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, selfish, or self-indulgent.

I have not whined, complained, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. I have charged nothing on my credit card. 

But, I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think that I will really need your help then.

  2. Glad you had such a fun weekend! I felt the same way about the house, except I wasn't brave enough to head inside alone. It felt too hard and I felt like it was no longer mine. I just was too afraid to go in there and see how different it is because in my mind I think it is still my same old home with all the same old things.
    That is great that you got to visit with your previous bible study group! Reconnecting with great friends is always such a wonderful feeling!
