Hello Monday

 

Happy Monday, friends! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for this blog post.

How was your weekend? It was such a pretty weekend here and I'm glad it was like that for the benefit of our sons. They all had things planned this weekend that rain would have messed with, had it been different. Drew was in Nashville all weekend at our bonus son's basketball championship tournament, which they won! I'm so glad Alex is having such an amazing senior year.

I cannot imagine how incredible this win felt for them, and I am particularly happy for Alex. Basketball has been his life for the last few years, but he didn't even play last year because of various reasons at a different school. I am so glad he has had new opportunities this year being in a private school. If you're new around here, Alex has been in our lives since he was about three years old. He is the friend who is closer than a friend, more like a brother. The Lord gave me supernatural love for him and he's always gone to church with my boys and when he was younger, his aunt and our neighbor Val joked that he lived here more than he did at their house. I love him like he's my own; I always have and I always will. Here's some older pictures of him with my boys from over the years.

Here's more of what he looks like these days.

To say I'm proud is the understatement of the year. Like I said, I love him like he's my own.

Graham added some lights to his truck this weekend, which kept him outside all of Saturday and Sunday and Noah was at a car meet over the weekend that took place in Memphis. He had his car wrapped last week...look how great it looks!

It was silver, if that gives you any idea of how different it is now. This looks like paint, but it's a vinyl wrap. Jonah was happy to have Drew's truck to drive all weekend, since he was in Nashville. He will get his own truck back from the shop one day this week, hopefully.

As for me and my husband, neither of us did much. He worked a couple of nights and I went to Mom's Friday night for dinner. She and I went out on Saturday for a bit, then I finished off watching Friends and started (again) on Downton Abbey. I've tried so many times to watch this show, but I think I'm finally hooked. It took a few episodes, and I'm a few years late, but better late than never, right? We spent Sunday at church as usual. 

It was a good weekend! I hope yours was too! What did you do? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
