Friday Favorites!

I feel like this week flew in a sense and at the same time dragged on and on. Either way, this was a tragic week for our country. My thoughts and prayers have been with West, Texas and Boston all week, as well as all those impacted by both events. I just cant even begin to imagine dealing with either. I am beyond glad they finally captured the second bomber. Now I hope it's a quick process to get some answers and then put him in the chair. My heart mourns for the country right now, but remembers that the Lord is in control and has a plan.

Despite everything going on in the country, I was blessed enough to have a pretty good week.

1) Brads Show- Last Friday night I got to go watch Brad play at a local pub. I havnt seen him play (except in our apartment) since we got back! So it was nice to jam out to his tunes and see some friends!

2) Monday off- I had Monday off since I worked the weekend. John had it off too! Always a treat :D We hung out Sunday night when he got off, so we slept in on Monday. Then we took Carter to the dog park. He found a lab he got along well with. When the lab left Carter actually whimpered! It broke my heart. We asked him if he wanted to go home and he ran to the gate ready to leave. LOL. He's never done that before! haha Anyway, then finished the last two episodes we had left of Weeds EVER! and were seriously disappointed :(. Then we cleaned out our guest room. Yes, people. This actually happened and it look 10x better!!!

3) Guest Room- It deserves it's own favorite! It looks SO much better and we even hung pictures!! it's the only room that has pictures hung in it- but thats okay! haha. It still needs a little work, but it is SO much better! Pictures to come soon :D

4) Wed- I got off early wednesday for working extra over the weekend. (I chose Wed because John was off work). John and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go kayaking!! It was our first time going in Raleigh and first time with Carter. Not so sure about taking Carter again. haha! He was very uneasy about the kayak moving. and really- how do you keep a lab who LOVES water, out of it? silly us. I had to hold him so that left John to paddle by himself. We stopped across the lake from where we parked and let Carter swim. I forgot how much he just loves it. He wore himself out and actually fell asleep in the car on the way home! haha SO much fun :D I cant wait to go kayaking more.

5) Calm My Anxious Heart- I started an individual bible study about a week ago. I find I need some sort of guidance when it comes to reading the bible, otherwise I never know where to start and get overwhelmed. This one is perfect for me now- we all know how anxious I can be about everything! haha. I'll let you know how it goes!

6) MY SISTER GETS MARRIED NEXT WEEK!- I just cant believe it. My mind just cant grasp that my baby sister is getting married! AH! So excited for her :D


Not so favorites-

1) We've had TONS of spiders in our apartment. I dont know why or where they are coming from, but pest control is coming next week. I seriously found 6 in the apartment in 1 day. Just crawling around. They are big too. blah!

2) Of course all the tragedy. Lots of prayers being sent up.
