"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise!
Give thanks to Him; bless His name!"
~Psalm 100:4
This post is a mini life update and a few recent pictures! So much to be thankful for lately!! ❤
I took Sarah out for a celebratory birthday dinner at Olive Garden last Tuesday. No pics of that, but it was fun - we had a great talk and got caught up on each other's lives!
Judge Golden had a Judicial Conference Thursday and Friday, which worked out so perfectly for me. lol David, Mom's Navy Seal cousin, was staying with my parents from Wednesday to Sunday. Mom and I had spent part of the last weekend making a canvas and photo book gift for him with pics from his time serving in Vietnam as a Navy Seal, so I was hoping I could be there when he got those gifts. I drove down and back on Thursday, and I got to swim with everyone at JoBug's, which was GREAT! I actually wore enough sunscreen this time to avoid another painful burn. She had these new watermelon and lemon rafts -- they're filled with beads rather than being inflated, so the kids can stand on them and they still hold them up really well! I had to get a pic with them on those!! =)
1. I can hardly handle how cute she is in her tiny little goggles! ♡
2. David eventually got in the pool with us, which made them so happy!
3. The kids loved getting his attention and telling him whatever random stories popped into their heads! =)
4. He and I tried teaching them to float. We were mildly successful. lol
5. The Jaceman doing a flip off the hot tub fountain!
6. This was the best. Miss K was pretending to be a dolphin and said she was gonna do a "dolphin dive." Apparently, that means a full-body flop!! So funny! She did it several times, so it must not have been as painful as it looked. lol
7. JoBug brought Gigi's cupcakes for the Miss and Jaceman. =)
8. Bullet always sits like this, and I think it's hilarious! Such a refined lady. lol
9. Mom helping Jace down after he'd eaten all the icing he wanted.
We came home and showered and lazed around a little, then we all met up for dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. We brought the canvas gift to give him, and he really loved it! I was happy to get to see that! (The photo book came a day late, so I didn't get to see it, but Mom said it was nice and he loved it, too.)
Friday morning, I made my regular drive to Sapulpa, but not for work... I was meeting Laura and the Wilsons at Miss Scarlett's Tea Room... a late birthday lunch for Chet Lee! (Here's a pic of us by my office painting when Chet came up to see the courthouse after lunch.) =)
Everyone but Laura had the sweet chicken salad sandwich with broccoli cheddar soup! Me and Laura both tried the banana pudding dessert -- yummers! Chet came back to see the courthouse, and he commented several times that it was much nicer than he expected! I think all our Creek County jokes had left him with pretty low expectations, but the building itself is pretty nice. lol We got a pic of me and Laura in our regular work places, and a pic of Judge Wilson presiding over the courtroom with his trusty gavel. lol
Saturday morning, of course, was the Mercantile, which you can read about in my earlier post! I didn't write this on the other post, but I got one biscuit and gravy (huge and filling) and a chocolate almond croissant for breakfast. It was such a fun and memorable morning with the friend group!! (Quotables coming soon.)
1. Sarah Elizabeth and I at her apartment pool Saturday night! Swimming + 50 cent Frostys at Wendy's = fun times!!
2. J&K holding David's canvas, which Jace "presented" to him. :)
3. J&K in their London t-shirts from Bill and Jill (who had a fantastic trip there)!!
4. My car being towed - sad day - but it was a fairly quick fix, and it's always nice to hang out at the Lexus dealership for a while!
5. Jon and Kristin serving as greeters when I came to check out Woodlake Church yesterday! lol I loved the sermon about the Kingdom of God, and then I got to have lunch with the Fosters and Audrey at Qdoba, which was a treat all around!
6. My bday card for Chet Lee. I forgot about his no sweets rule yet again! lol
7. Last Monday was my first time to come to Jon and Kristin's group for game night at the Bixby Starbucks! I played Sushi Go with Audrey and Christian and a few other girls (meeting all of them for the first time that night)!
8. This was last Sunday, but Rach also painted the Trolls sign and Branch and Poppy peeking above it for the main entrance banner at MWC LifeChurch!! Very impressive!
9. One of the realtors Dad works with at SF asked if I could calligraphy this for her... one of the cheesier projects I've done, but it was quick and simple! lol
