Three-Day Weekend Recap

Quick weekend recap:

• Lunch with Kristin was good and fun!  She was supportive and excited for me about Evergreen, and we had a good talk about that and other life events and prayer requests.
• Packed and curled my hair (always a lengthy chore for me), then drove to MWC in time to ride with Mom and Dad and the boys to Charleston's. (The Miss stayed in Aftercare at CHA with Rach.)
• Mom loved her gift from me and Rach (MacKenzie Childs courtly check cake plate from On a Whim).
• Yay for the potato soup and croissants at Charleston's!  
• And yay for getting to see Bill and Jill, who are trying to talk Mom and Dad into an Alaska cruise... then Jill invited me to come without them if I'm interested, which was super nice, and I might be!! =)
• The Parrishes came over for cookiecake, which was also fun!  The boys have "Hacker masks," and the masks are super creepy but they're so delighted by it that it becomes cute!
• Rach and I spent a crazy amount of time looking for a specific SnapChat pic of Kyndal Faith. lol
• Later that night, I found out about Boo and had to write a blog tribute. =(
• Saturday was Jace's first Crossfit Kids class (or "Crossfit for toddlers" as Sarah called it - lolol).  He loved it!!  The trainer lets them have 15 minutes of free play where he was all about showing off his chin-ups and climbing the rope, then the class was mostly body weight stuff and kept it on a lighter level.
• We had Johnnie's for lunch with the kids, then came back to Mom and Dad's where they played for a while.
• Mom and I helped Carter organize all his CHA notebooks, which was a fascinating 4-hour process!
• Met the rest of the Parrish fam for dinner at Rib Crib.

• Sunday was LifeChurch (sermon on Habits) followed by lunch at Cheddar's!  J&K love to sign the second copy of the receipt and show everyone that they paid for dinner. lol
• Then I went over to Rach's to borrow some of her clothes for my Vegas trip. =)
• That night was the football playoff games, so Mom and I made spaghetti, garlic bread, and brownies, and Charlene came over for dinner and watching the games, which were both intense and exciting!  (Even though Mom's team (Kansas) lost in overtime - sad.)
• Mom also fixed up strawberries and dip for me to take to Elizabeth's the next day.
• Monday:  Slept in =) then got ready and went to Jonathan and Elizabeth's for lunch!
• She made taco casserole, which was awesome, then we had the strawberries and dip, and then played games for a while.  (5-Second Rule, Ricochet Robots, and Potion Explosion)
• It's always fun seeing them and catching up on life!
• Drove back home and did some laundry and cleaning...
• Went to Jon and Kristin's group, where I felt a bit out of place for the first time but still had fun playing Nertz and hanging out.
• I managed to stay in my calorie range and make good choices at the restaurants, and I'm happy about that!  And that covers it. Today I'm back to work for felony Tuesday, feeling thankful for a nice long weekend with people I love!

Yay for curling my hair every so often - I need to practice and get faster and more comfortable with it!!

Here's the random SnapChat pic we FINALLY found of the Miss K!  It looks like the makeup and nose ring are real, but thankfully, not so much! lol

This = a little video recap of January so far. =)

Hope your week is off to a good start!! ❤
