A Must for a Me Day

Quite the amount of updates we are getting from me today. Three? I know I know...but really I have been meaning to blog about these things for a while now, at least a few days, and was making the time now to sit down and write.

I've noticed how wonderful life is today. I've got a great job for the summer. A wonderful husband to wake up to every morning. The ability to exercise, clean my house, cook food, and enjoy it the whole time. The last three weeks have been busy busy busy. There was graduation, then vacation with our brother and sister in law. Then catch up time on cleaning and groceries. There was a wedding last weekend in Seattle, and all the leads into that ceremony. Then a big birthday bash for Jason's Grandpa Sunday, and a full week of work starting Monday. While all of these things are truly enjoyable and a blessing for Jason and I both, I find the need to just be. Jason and I work differently in some way, suprising I know;) But for me, when I'm tired of going going going, I like to take a day to be in my pj's, clean, write, read, and nap. Jason on the other hand, likes to spend that time with some of his buddies that he doesn't see all too often. So that's when we say, let's do our own thing tomorrow. Jason, you go have a blast with the guys, and I'll have a day to myself. I love it. Absolutely love it. Sometimes I add a little coffee date in there. But today, is a day for me. A few posts ago I had said something on their about having a me day, and that was really only about a week and a half ago. But when things get really busy and we're out with family, friends, and the busyness of life, I find that I need that time alone to just be.

So what's on the agenda for a me day?
    Cleaning.
       Nap.
          Make Jason's rice crispy bars ( he will love having those for work this week)
             Work out.
                 Spend time with my God.
                    Make something yummy for dinner, most likely soup and a sandwhich.
                     
I'm a simple girl when it comes to food sometimes.


I challenge you to take a "Me Day" sometime in the near future. It might be going for a hike or bike ride, sleeping all day, scrapbooking, working in the yard(like my Dad) or being with the people that you love.

Me Days can be so relaxing, uplifting, and refreshing.

Love from the newlywed.

A Sweet Book and a Few Tears Shed

10 Secrets My Dog Taught Me by Carlo Devito.

Bare with me guys. No matter what I try, I can't seem to figure out how to post a picture of thise book on here so if you could easily explain, I'm willing to hear!

Anyway, this book was ADORABLE! My Mom had lent it to me a few months ago and I just now was free from other books so that I could read this one. I was a little unsure about it because my Mom wasn't as interested and didn't finish the book when she had read it. But as I continued through the book, I fell in love with the story of this dog. Exley was a German shorthair pointer full of energy and trouble! He wasn't as bad behaved and hilarious as our wonderful Marley. Yet, he often came very close. This was just a cute story about two friends. Exley, and his owner Carlo. Each chapter layed out various stories and the lessons learned from them and I loved it! By the end of the book I was feeling the tears. It's always so sad when your pets die. For those of you that love animals, it's a must read. I read it in a week, and enjoyed all of it!

Two beautiful girls and their dream for South Africa.

http://www.ange-britney.blogspot.com/

Check this out guys. These are two friends of mine that have an incredible dream for South Africa. It all started out with one that has had a dream burning on her heart for many years, and bringing the other to see how God may be calling her to step out of the comfort zone of normalcy. Read. Be inspired. And pray if you are to give to their trip. Above all, pray for their safety, and for God to use them in the hearts of those in South Africa.
