Not often, but sometimes there are weekends that are so fulfilling they simply make going back to work on Monday a little easier.
Friday was spent at my favorite little neighborhood eatery where we talked about our future and some immediate decisions. We may have also bought some of these vintage types. What we will do with them I have no idea, but for the steal we got them for Mr. Z was a happy camper. One day I dream he’ll have his very own “man room” {a.k.a. his own office with a flat screen and comfy couches and a pool table} like my dad has, perhaps we can save them until then? I suggested I make a garland out of them. He didn’t like that idea.
Saturday morning was a tasty breakfast at another favorite spot in this windy city we call home. We met a friend who was in town from Dubai, a friend I gained through marriage. Every time we hang out with him and say goodbye I tell Mr. Z how much I wish he still lived here. Such a blessing to know such wonderful people.
The afternoon was spent doing three loads of laundry, making banana bread for fun and spinach artichoke dip for the evening’s activities. We left the house a little before 5 p.m. and headed to the suburbs. We were both looking forward to the evening but had no idea just how much fun we would have. There is something so sweet about an evening with new and old friends, full of laughter and good food.
For church the next day we decided to surprise some friends who recently, in the last five months, have come on board at a church as the pastors. It was such a blast to surprise them. The looks on their faces when they saw us were priceless and the happiness in our hearts was too.
We ended the afternoon with our small group, sans one member and ended the afternoon with much to think about and consider in light of whom our God is and how to live this life honoring Him.
And after baking a dozen or so chocolate chip cookies Mr. Z and I began planning our little staycation to celebrate our one-year anniversary in a little less than a month! Looks like there might be a spa involved :-)
I lay my head down tonight grateful for the relationships God has blessed us with, the roof over our heads, His presence in our lives and the means to celebrate milestones in fun ways. Going to bed tonight with a heart full of thanksgiving.
