Erika and Kylie are gone the rest of this week. Erika's sister is having a baby, so Erika's there to make her meals and help her transition. Such a great wife!
Thankfully, she arranged for me to be fed by some good friends in our church. Tonight was meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and pound cake! Friday will be something good too, I'm sure of it. Tomorrow I'm on my own, but I know my way around a kitchen so I should be fine.
I hate it when the family's not here though. It's too quiet. I never thought I would complain about it, but there you go.
Can I just take a moment to say how blessed I am? To be truly happy with where you are is a rare thing, I've found. But I've got a great family, great friends, and some great hopes for the future, and I couldn't be more content and filled than I am. Life just seems limitless at this point, and that's a great feeling to have. I'll occasionally get these moments of "holy crap, what if this falls apart?" but they quickly recede. There's a freedom found in letting go of all of that, just free-falling.

And corn on the cobb and the pound cake had strawberries and homemade whipped cream! oh and don't forget the annoying MYTH BUSTERS in the background that you are my husband were so fascinated by! I'm so sick of that show!
ReplyDeleteFriday night you get to talk about the Pope and his comments and you get to eat snickerdoodles! :)HA! Just kidding Gina! I am sure you get some yummy Italian meal. Now, I'm jealous!
I'm thinking tomorrow night you should just cook for all the men since the women will be a Starbucks.I'm Sure you could whip up something Alton Brownish!
Kyle...I relate so much with the last paragraph of your post. I too find myself happy with where I am in life right now. Contentment is a good word for it! Although there are still things that I hope for for the future, right now I am just living in the moment of feeling God's awesome work in me. I can't remember EVER a time in my 42 years of life that I have felt this peaceful and blessed.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes I get that feeling sometimes of "holy crap, what am I doing!" But knowing that God is in control allows me to "free fall" with no fear!
I love the place I'm at!!
See you in a couple of weeks!
Sonya
