Fun by the Foot

While the Cat’s away the Mice will play!  I think that’s how the saying goes.  Our Youth Pastor Adam was out of town so in his absence youth staff, (Jenn and Jacob), took over planning Wednesday evening.  All the games involved feet!  It was hilarious, here’s some photos -

UPDATES:

I’ve been meaning to share this, I’ve started going ‘sugar free’.  Well sorta.  I’m a bridesmaid, as you know, at the end of the month, and my girlfriend has been cutting sugary snacks out of her diet for a while now so I thought I’d give it a try.  I’ve done fairly well especially during the week, so I’ll have to keep you posted.  The biggest challenge is the evening boredom craving and the steady stream of junk food around the office, like when Honey Buns just appear on your desk – yikes!

This weekend was River Bank Run weekend!  Nate and Andrea and fam were here, more to come on that, but I met my RBR goal!  since I bailed on doing the 25k, I set a 50 minute goal on the 10k (6.27 miles) and I made it by 3 seconds! :)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Q and A

From time to time I like to take a post and answer some questions that may have come through in my comments.  So here goes -

Andrea asked: ‘Jewelry rack?!?!?!’  Yes, I didnt know what to call it, so I went with rack, and as I was typing I thought ‘oh geeze I hope she doesnt have a cow, I just cant come up with something better!’ so sorry; holder, show piece…I dont know, but mom is using it, so that’s good! :)

Andrea also asked: ‘Where’s Sherri’s ring?’  She’s wearing it, I think my cam just isnt high def enough to see it.  It’s beautiful though!

And because the third time’s the charm, Andrea also asked: ‘Did Brenda get new glasses?’  Good question.  I have no idea, but after further inspection I’m going to say no, not recently.  I think I’ve seen them before.

And WAY back when, Jonny Wu asked: ‘Do I remember winning everything at retreats, especially spokes?’  uhhhhh remember?!  Why do you think I go on those things?  So I can WIN! :)  hehe Kidding of course, but yaaa Jonny, Mike and I definitely did clean up pretty well back in the day!

Last weekend Kari and I completed our 4th road trip in the name of bridesmaiding.  It was a good time, photos to follow!

Happy Tuesday!

Bruncherooo

Last Saturday Mom and I hosted the annual Heart to Heart closing brunch.  We had a great year, and it was nice to have everyone come.  Here are a few photos -

We brought Becca in for the beauty and fabulous food! She did a great job! :)

Happy Weekend!

Fun on Friday

Friday night several of my faithful readers were over at my house, in fact I commented when I was taking pictures I didnt really know why, since most of the people who read my blog were present. Nevertheless (an underutilized word) I took photos and here they are -

We always have a lot of fun when we’re together, and it was great to spend time with Linds!

Happy Weekend!

AA Day

No not Alcoholics Anonymous – Administrative Assistant or Professional day, is officially today, I think technically the whole week celebrates it, but today’s the big day. Major props to my boss who remembered! I wasnt really all that shocked though, he’s a great boss and has a very thoughtful wife too! :)

I dont talk about work much on here, but I work for an awesome company with great people and I’m SO blessed to be part of an organization that loves its people as much as GFS does. I could just be another number there, but I’m not. It makes going to work and giving my time and energies to it so much more worthwhile. I work for a family not just an organization; they have a conscience and work to better the lives of their employees, the people in their community and most importantly seek to honor God.

Happy Wednesday!

Spring Craft

So I’m running a little late on this, but the wonderful and crafty Jennifer has again sent me a little something she put together this spring take a look and maybe make one too!?

1.  Print off each graphic from Graphics Fairy.

2. Use double sided tape to attach them to cardstock or light cardboard to make them more sturdy.

3. Add glitter in a few select spots to highlight.

4. Attach ribbon to the back and hang!  TA DAAAA!

I saw this hanging in her entryway, I felt springier for sure! :) 

Happy Weekend!

South Bend Shower

Over the weekend I went to another shower for Laura whose wedding I’m bridesmaiding for in May.  This one was in South Bend where Austin’s family lives.  Kari and I both grew up with Laura and so our moms were invited to the shower too, as well as my Fake Aunt Judy Koning, or Aunt Fudy as I affectionately call her.  Here are a few photos from the day -

Lindsay came home over the weekend too! SO great to see her, I only wish Marv could have come.  We have had a great time spending time with friends, and catching up over lunch today too! 

Happy Wednesday everyone!
