Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

While the boys were at camp Darryl and celebrated his birthday! 

Just a couple photos from our co-op. 

These two screenshots are about a month apart — it’s 54 on February 27 and it was -18 in January 24!!!!

 February ended up being an oddly busy month.  The weather also calmed down so we could actually do all the things too! So, here’s the plan for the week. 

Friday - tacos

Saturday- We have a funeral to attend around noon and then the guys are attending a Men's night with our church.  I plan to maybe get a little scrapbooking in while they are gone.    

Sunday -  Keeping it simple - we had a pork loin on Thursday so between the leftover pork and leftover taco things - I think we will have tacos - either pulled pork or beef taco meat.  Plus chips and salsa 

Monday - English Muffins, Eggs, Sausage, Bacon and Fried Potatoes

Tuesday - Spaghetti and Red Lobster Garlic Biscuits

Wednesday - youth group

Thursday - Broccoli Cheddar Soup or Chicken Noodle Soup, Ham, and Biscuits

February Goal Recap

 I decided to do my recap a little differently this month.  I updated my progress on my original post and will supply a link here.  That way, if you really want to keep tabs, you can, and if not, well, just move along.  

February - where did it go?  I felt like I took a breath in on February 1st and when I breathed out, we were here, at the end of the month.  It did not go as planned, I did not get things on my list done but that's ok.  

What did happen in February?  

• Two of my three brothers visited in February.  This meant lots of family dinners and games at my moms, a couple of trips to the coffee shop, and a couple of times eating out while picking up/dropping off my brother Ken at the airport.  
• A family funeral for my Aunt Betty.  It was great seeing friends and family and nice surprising my mom with a visit from my brother, Kel.  
• I started volunteering at our local hospital this month.  It is going well but has been a transition to not be home for a couple of days each week.  I'm enjoying meeting people (I volunteer in the Gift Shop) and hearing their stories when they share. 
• We celebrated Valentine's Day and Darryl's birthday - both of which were fun and enjoyable.  
• Our co-op has kept me extra busy this month. 

That left not a lot of time to work on my projects.  Evenings were full and days were busy.  

So, here's the link if you want to actually check it out.

March is just around the corner and I'm hoping to get a few more of my "projects" accomplished as I settle into a new schedule.  (But March is also the busiest month for our co-op so we shall see! 

Katy Nichole - "In Jesus Name (God of Possible)" (Official Music Video)

This song has been around for awhile but a friend shared this as she went through some pretty big struggles and talked about the large group of prayer warriors she has surrounding her.  

In her words: "It's a reminder that when we can't change or fix things for people, we can pray for them.  Speak the name of Jesus over your hurting friends and watch God move." 

As I'm part of her "circle" I have been able to pray for her and see God move through some tough situations.  

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

On Valentine's Day Darryl took me out for breakfast (and Nate got to go too as Josh was gone! ) 

We enjoyed dinner and a game at my mom’s with my brother Ken. 

On Sunday we celebrated Darryl’s birthday at my mom’s. 

Monday we attended a funeral for my Aunt Betty. 

Monday night we enjoyed dinner and a game with Ken and Kel. 

(Ken won - we were all sad) 

Then three of the four siblings (missing Jeff!) met for coffee! 

I started volunteering at our local hospital - Ken snuck in and took a photo!) 

We took my brother to the airport on Wednesday and the boys had youth group! 

The Boys headed to the last winter retreat of the season!
