The past two weekends

Reminder to myself: I need to blog. It is good for me to have a scrapbook of fun memories.

Friday 27 - Monday 30 May
The plan was to ride my bike and then catch a train to Campbelltown, but this didn't happen due to a cough and cold air. But I got to drive to Campbelltown, do a hairdresser date and lunch with mum and come home with freshly dyed hair.

Saturday was Equip, which was wonderful but a super long day. Served lots of people, saw old forgotten friends, had encouraging conversations with M and L after the conference, had a really nice road trip with C and a prayer session in the car. Those things are always good for the soul.

Church was good - it's always good. Spontaneous picnic lunch with friends at the park, then dinner with R. Bit of a goodbye dinner, which I'm no good at. But nice to think back over the past year and be thankful for sharing this season of life together as a trio.

Monday was so tired from big weekend. We discovered a mouse in cupboard. Went out to dinner with Mum and family, and then spontaneous board games at my house. Turns out L and I are the most compatible, but am not compatible with Mum at all haha.



Friday 3 - Monday 6 June
Spent all Friday finishing a youth group talk, hearing the mouse run through the walls, and napping. Youth group talk was on Ecclesiastes 9, death is meaningless but Jesus defeats death. Afterwards we celebrated it being a Friday night by driving out for Krispy Kreme donuts and then for HSP's. A random epic evening but my favourite kind.

R left on Saturday, so we helped him pack boxes and drove stuff over for him. Trying to help him get settled in the new home. Had a baby shower in the afternoon which was lovely, and then went out at night for P's birthday with a bunch of girls. Dancing, pizza, good conversations and lots of rain. Was a bit scary driving home. Also I had two energy drinks, so then I was awake most of the night.

Church = good again! Talk was on keeping the gospel pure and free from contamination, and protecting it. I made slow cooker vegetable soup, which turned out to be God's providence as I ended up feeding most of those who stayed around at church lunch. Rain meant that not many people wanted to leave and come back. Spent the evening with E and K watching Veronica Mars and cuddling Paddington dog.

Monday = sleep. Considering that I didn't get much on the weekend. And it was an emotionally exhausting one. Did some housework, spent time with Soong. We went out for spontaneous waffles. Also had coffee with P which was lovely to catch up and just share some of the things we are going through. Disappointed we didn't pray together though. And the camp prep begins. Monday and Tuesday were 1am bedtimes.

Wednesday morning I also enjoyed a 15 minute conversation with E and her daughters R & J. So gorgeous to watch them growing up.
