Yes (Heather) another snow day! This one is actually legite! It is quite icy and snowy outside and really cold. I had high hopes of working out with Candace today at the Y, but Tim preferred she not drive…Sooooo….not a bad alternative in the least, Joy and Kristie came over for some pancakes and coffee and over 3 hours of wonderful conversation. We were all looking raw and skanky with our morning breath, hodge-podge sleeping outfits, and au Natur-AL faces and hair. I think that is the best part of having good girlfriends, who cares what you look like….lets talk! I appreciate more and more, the older I get, how stable, mature, and rich my friendships become. “Good time friends” are a dime a dozen, but women who want to know your heart, listen and share the good and bad times of life….priceless! We laughed a lot and then we really talked about what the Lord is doing in the relationships around us from marriage, to dating, to families. We were quite the think tank! We managed to solve all the worlds problems without leaving the comfort of my living room.
Joy has also presented me with an amazing proposition that has to do with a deep love of mine…decorating! The women’s ministry is in the process of getting approval to get one room in the new church dedicated to art/crafts. They want to create a sense of beauty and femininity in the decor and Joy has asked myself and Steph to be the decorators. Already my mind is filling with color schemes, layouts, storage, furniture, amazing fabrics for pillows and curtains. Reality is this will be a long process of raising money and beautifying over time…but still…to be given creative domain is so affirming to me. I love color and creating beauty so much. It is my way to thank the Lord for not creating a black and white earth. Who is the most amazing artist in the world…GOD. It is my way of worshiping Christ through art. I have also been approached by the church to decorate the sanctuary and lobby….YIKES! I have never done anything like that…but I am psyched to give it a try.
Well I am letting my self-tanner dry right now (vanity, vanity….yahty, yahty, yah) and I need to get on with my day. Sorry Ryan that you had to get up yet again and go off to work while I banked another three hours of sleep in our bed…..I miss you!
Cheers to snowdays, cheers to coffee, and cheers to amazing friends. Thanks for an awesome morning Joy and Kristie!
Aww look at you guys, you are too cute! Curse this ice that kept me away from the good time. But glad you ladies got another day of rest before a two-week break…
And Kel, “deocrating”? Is this a new form of fun with antipersperants? Heehee Love ya!
Candace, you should learn how to spell anti-perspirant before you go baggin on the way I spell decorating. What is that verse about point out someones splinter when you have a log in your own eye….hmmmm…I’m just sayin!
knock it off you two! kiss and make up..
kel (& kristie!) i had a great time with you this morning! love you. So glad we’re Stepford wives..
Ahh - good times! Thanks for the shout-out, Kel…ehem… You really do deserve the time off after the heck-and-a-half you put in at the hotel. Sleep on! (I’m still really jealous, though.) AND by the way, anyone know what a “squall” is? Aparently we’re getting a snow squall tonight - I have only read that word in one context: shipwrecks. Yikes!
maybe you’re getting a Snow of a Shipwreck! Sounds fun! Maybe the Squall is what brings the cancellation of school!!
You girls are too cute! Thanks for solving the world’s problems…one thing I can mark off my list!
loves!!
Go snow, woo!
i have taken issue with this arts and crafts room you speak of.
it is a load of malarkey.
i know it’s the women’s ministry at the church but still… what about the guys who do some arts and crafts. exhibit A: josh swartwood. granted he’s in NY now, but there’s a dude who knew how to do some arts and crafts. would he not be able to use that room or will it be a room where the women get together, minus makeup and men, and solve all the world’s problems while drinking a mocha latte and srapbooking?
btw… scrapbooking is lame. it shouldn’t be counted in the arts and crafts arena. now… boondoggle bracelets… THAT’S arts and crafts.
I AM JUST SAYIN’!!!!
BOONDOGGLES! Remember, ladies, when we made those!
