A Weekend and a Wedding

Good day, blog friends.

I hope this post finds you well and happy.

♥

Speaking of happy, that was our weekend. As usual, we were busy being productive around the house, and we fit in some time with friends and family. And also as usual, I took pictures...

 

Our weekend began Friday evening with a 21st birthday party for our nephew Cody. I have no photos to show for that event {shame} but it was a really fun time. I drove us home and along the way I accidentally ran over a toad in the road - so sad! Anyway...

 

 

My step-dad {Rod} had brought my mom's things to me last week, so Saturday morning I started going through the boxes. It was bittersweet, for sure, but I loved it. In a way I feel like I've turned a corner where my mom's passing is concerned. I miss her like crazy, but I trust that things are the way they are for a reason, and so I just went with the flow and enjoyed the process. I love having my mom's things mixed in with mine.

 

And I love how the sunlight was shining directly on a strawberry item in this next photo...

 

 

While I was inside where it was nice and cool, Doug was outside in the heat {it was brutally hot here this weekend!} rigging up a fence to keep a certain digging dog out of my garden.

 

And then Saturday night we went to a wedding! ♥

 

 

The sweet bride is the daughter of long time friends, and it was such a wonderful night celebrating with friends and family. Doug, Carrie and I were there, and we had so much fun!

Among the wedding guests were these two - our niece Kaycee and our great-niece "Roo." I love seeing these two together, and it warms my heart to see how much Kaycee enjoys being Roo's aunt. I know the feeling!

 

Yesterday was full of typical weekend fare - laundry, grocery shopping, stuff around the house. I did manage to print two weeks worth of Project Life photos, and I finally sewed the curtains for my craft room. With some help, of course...

So now we begin a new week. Carrie and I are attending a funeral service this morning {for my great-aunt who passed last week}. It's a somber way to start a week, but reason to give pause and be grateful for the days we have.

And at work I'm deliciously busy - a good thing for helping the days pass quickly - plus it's a short week because we have the 4th of July off for Independence Day.

There you have it.

Another awesome weekend for the books.

How was yours?
