The Simple Woman's Daybook - May 4, 2009

FOR TODAY …May 4, 2009

Outside my window... 65 Degrees…and Cloudy

I am thinking...about the value of me working. We are trying to make some plans for our future and determining what we want that to look like.

I am thankful for...team at Family Life and A Weekend to Remember. We returned yesterday from our marriage conference filled with hope and some lessons learned, but exhausted…it was certainly a weekend we will never forget.

From the kitchen...Cookies for the Hubby

I am wearing...Teal and Black shirt, black Slacks, a black ballet style flats.

I am creating...A photo book for Ryan for our 2 year anniversary.

I am going...shopping with my Mom tonight. My Dad and Ryan are taking part in a men’s bible study tonight, so we get to have a little girl time.

I am reading... The Scarlet Pimpernel, Wives and Daughters, Lady of High Regard

I am hoping...that we can use some of the principals we learned at our marriage to move forward with some of our plans.

I am hearing...lots of complaining. We have had a lot of changes in our company with some restructuring of teams and responsibilities. Change is never easy!

Around the house...time to tend to my little strip of dirt that I affectionately call my garden. Last night my husband surprised me by hanging some butterfly lights that my Mom got us last year on our patio. It now looks like a fairy land; I just need pretty pink flowers to go with them!

One of my favorite things...My new necklace that I got from Kellie at KMWOOH at Estsy.com. It has a cross and a tab with my last name initial “S” stamped on it. It’s a reminder to me of what my priorities should be, my relationship with God, followed by my relationship with my husband, and then everything else.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Shopping with my Mom tonight, Date night at Color Me Mine (A ceramics paint shop) on Thursday, Star Trek Movie on Friday, Rest Day on Saturday, Church and Mothers Day on Sunday.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

We complete each others gaps!

Special Thanks and Blessings to Peggy at the Simple Woman
