Friday Favorites, 5.14.21

 

Happy Friday, friends! I'm linking up with Andrea for this blog post. 

It's been a good week! I hope yours has been. Here are a few of my favorite moments from the past seven days. 

Seeing Jonah and Noah graduate was definitely a favorite moment from the week. Nobody ever prepared me for how emotional graduation ceremonies are. Especially with these guys being our lasts. 

Their very low-key party after graduation was another favorite moment. They just wanted family and their friends and even with just that specific group, we had a house FULL. It was a fun night with lots of laughter and good food. I'm so glad my best friend and her hubby came, too —I am always appreciative of her being there for me and I love that Jonah and Noah included her in the people they expected to come. 

Seeing them search for us in our seats will always be such a special moment. Graham and Drew did the exact same thing and it melted my heart every single time. I was born to be a mom of sons! I'm also very grateful for the relationship they each have with my husband. I definitely feel like it's a rare thing.

My sister Trish and me—she is going to KILL ME for posting this first one, but it cracks me up! The sun was in our eyes and she was saying let's turn around so we don't have the glare in our eyes, but the way I'm looking at her just makes me laugh. The one below is more our normal. 

Some other favorite moments from the week are below, but without pictures—

I got to meet with one of my favorite people on earth this week as we talked about the Bible study we're helping write. I loved going to her house and catching up, even if it was just for a few moments.

I was able to be at home all day long on Wednesday and I cleaned and organized some things in the downstairs of our home. Books are my favorite, but be that as it may, they'd overtaken every surface area downstairs and I did some much-needed putting away, sorting, purging and organizing. I gave some away and yesterday I took the rest to our used book store here inside of our town library.

I spent Thursday with my mom-in-love to celebrate her birthday and we had the BEST day. We ran a couple of errands, we went to Hobby Lobby, we had a delicious taco salad for lunch, then we got pedicures. 

My favorite class at church ended this week, the one my pastor was teaching on the topic of prayer. I finished the book, the class is over, now is time to put all that I've learned into practice, which I've already been doing. I'm thinking on what I'd like to do over the summer, as far as studies go. I love a good summer Bible study! 

My dad comes over today and that's also a favorite. We missed last week because I was busy with graduation errands and shopping for the cookout after. How's your week been? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog. Love to all!
