This weekend was a RELAXING weekend. It was so great!
After VBS this week I was most definitely EXHAUSTED on Friday night! Since the parentals were at the Red Sox game, along with the big brother, the little brother and I decided to spend the evening with each other. Precious, isn't it! I do love me some brother time.
Anyway, we went to the movies to see Wanted, but it was sold out. So, we ended up heading to Blockbuster and renting National Treasure 2 because I had yet to see it and frankly I LOVED the first one, so I definitely needed to see the second one. Kev had already seen it, but he didn't mind. Really, I am grateful that Wanted was sold out because I honestly don't think I would have made it through the movie. I am notorious for falling asleep in movies, and I was bound to fall asleep in that one. That movie, I am sure, is not one to fall asleep in, so all was well. Yes, I did get some shut eye for about 2.5 minutes during National Treasure 2, but I quickly arose after realizing I DIDN'T want to fall asleep during the movie. And yes, it was just as fabulous as number one was!
(Hint: When falling asleep during any situation that doesn't involve getting shut eye, chew gum. Honest to goodness, it helps!)
Saturday was a pretty laid back day. I really did nothing of productiveness. Shame on me! I could have cleaned my room and I didn't. I do feel kind of guilty for not using my time wisely, but y'all, I just could not motivate myself. BUT, alas, that night I did have a wedding to sing in, so, I did do SOMETHING productive! :)
Do y'all know how fun reunions are?! Oh bless. I have mentioned before that I used to be in Houston Children's Chorus. Seriously one of the most amazing organizations I have ever been apart of, and still do things with. I mean for goodness sake I got to sing with Josh stinkin' Groban!! Saturday one of the alumni girls got married and asked some of us to sing at the wedding. It was so much fun! I love hanging out with those people. I love picking up right where we left off. They are lifetime friendships that I am forever grateful for. We just get each other. At any moment you can find any of us busting out in song. Even if one word has been said. If that word was in a song we sang, then by golly we're singin' it. It is a blast to be had at EVERY gathering. I can only imagine the JOY that will take place next year at the 20 year "reunion"! So, needless to say, the wedding on Saturday night was fabulous.
Meet Amy. One of the most hilarious people you will ever meet!
I love me some Amy time!
Watching...
...this take place! :)
Smiling for the camera while dancing the night away...
Action shot of the dancing! Oh, the fun!
Today was a good day. VBS Sunday took place and boy, we brought that place down. I can only imagine what the visitors were thinking today! I promise, our church doesn't always look like a jungle, and we don't always have ten million people on stage doing a hand motion to every word sung, or jumping around all over the stage! But, I do love me VBS Sunday! I also got to see (and hug) some of the oldies (but most certainly goodies) from church like Lauri and Greg and his most precious wife, Allison! Greg was one of our old youth pastors who moved to Pennsylvania to serve at a church there. They are here for a while this summer and I can't wait to pick Allison's brain about girls ministry! It was so good seeing ALL of them! After church the mom and I went to Freebirds while the boys enjoyed yet another Red Sox vs. Astros game. I will have you know that my sweet Astros won this series against the Red Sox. We are so proud.
Two of the most precious/godly ladies you will ever meet! :) And Lauri, your hair looks FABULOUS!
We couldn't leave Greg out! :)
Tonight I enjoyed a WONDERFUL message on Friends by Pastor Gregg at First Baptist. Oh y'all. Could Exodus BE any more amazing? I am LOVING this series and can barely wait till next Sunday to hear what is next! The Lord has gifted that man like no other and I am so grateful/blessed to be able to learn from him. I can't wait to share with y'all the message of tonight. I promise tomorrow to post a blog about it. All I know is I am more grateful for my sweet friends that the Lord has blessed me with, and I am truly certain that they are gifts from the Lord. Girls, you know who you are! :) I am thanking the Lord for you tonight!
Well friends, I am off to bed. Why am I always blogging at night now right before bed?! I am going to try and be consistent again. When I stop blogging for a while I feel so overwhelmed at all that I have to tell y'all!
Here's to my consistency...
Nighty night!

Hi Lindsee. I read your comment on Leigh's blog and I just want to encourage you to keep praying and dreaming about the young man you will marry and don't get discouraged and begin to think he's not out there.
I remember so well when my daughter was going off to a large university after she had completed two years at a smaller school. I remember her words to me that she thought God was wanting her to trust Him in this move even though she was going all alone and didn't know who her roommates would be etc.
I also remember her being so tired of a relationship she was in (that was clearly not God's will) and I remember her telling me that she didn't think there were any good guys left out there.
She and I both had prayed for years about who she would marry.
As God would have it planned all along, her future mate lived right across the hall there where she lived at OSU. They married in '06 a year after she graduated.
God is good and he has the perfect plan for your life. You are a beautiful young lady...inside and out.
Be blessed and encouraged today!
Valerie
Linds,
Hola:)
You blog posts always make me feel like I was there:) So that means you better make sure to take some good pics of the Siesta Fiesta for me:O)
I still want a plate, I 've been waiting on my finances, before I decide anything concrete...
On my own....ya know how it is:)
Anyways, Have a great day darling, and BTW the tan...beautiful...I live in FL, but you'd never know it!
