Weekly Update [04.23.10]

This week has been really good in a lot of ways. It's the first week since we've moved that I've really gotten to be home and not go a lot of places. It's been nice. I wish that I could say that I've unpacked lots of boxes or decorated lots of rooms... but I haven't. And that's okay. I've gotten caught up on a lot of work, which desperately needed to be done. And it feels good not to have to worry about that.

Yesterday was Abby's long awaited field trip to the zoo with her class. She's been talking about it for at least three months, if not longer. She was excited, too, because her Ammie (or "Mimi" as she seems to be called more often lately) went along as a chaperone, and brought Carson too. She was SOOO excited. Well, yesterday mornning she woke us up complaining of a headache. Uh oh. But by the time she was heading out the door, she seemed fine. Well, I got a call after lunch from Aaron's mom saying that Abby was really sick and they had to leave the zoo early. At some point during the day, I started feeling sick too. So we both laid on the couch all evening and watched TV. Aaron and Carson cooked us dinner and took care of us all night, including a Dairy Queen run. Abby's feeling a little better this morning, but she's starting to run down again, and I still don't feel good. A few minutes ago, Abby brought me this...

Translation:
"I love you! I hope that you feel better from the sickness that you have. From, Abby"

She's such a sweet heart. And she also loves hearts and exclamation points! :) So cute.

In other news this week...

We had another meeting for the NW campus and were excited to see some new faces! It's so cool to see God moving in the hearts of individuals and building a vision! So excited for all that is to come.

It was Natalie's birthday! I love that girl, and she SO deserves to be celebrated!

We've loved driving around this area. We're so close to the Hill Country and it's so beautiful! Our neighborhood is still on the outskirts of everything, so you don't have to drive far at all to feel like you're "away" from it all. I love it. Hoping to check out Government Canyon State Park just up the road soon.

Well, I think that's all for now. All in all, it's been a nice week. I'll be glad when we're all feeling 100%, but in a way it's nice to sit and not do anything for a change.

Have a great weekend!
