Photo Friday!

Happy Friday!!

Monday this week was Mom and Dad's 41st Anniversary.  We celebrated with dinner at The Ranch Steakhouse with the Parrishes and Bill and Jill.  Bill wrapped their gift in Christmas paper because he knows we love Christmas, and that made my day! lolol  #snowflakesandSanta

And the gift... was Club Crackers, an inside joke from our last trip when Jace asked if they had them after they rattled off a long list of fancy appetizers. LOL

"This just goes to show there's no amount of money we won't spend for you guys!" ~Bill

(For the record, they were a hit - each of the kids had some with/before their meal.)

The gifts Dad bought us at M&M World -- all pretty appropriate in their messages -- and we're each doing the pose of the M&M character on our shirt or pants. =)

Me and Tman told Jace that we hit the jackpot in Vegas and wanted to split our winnings with him.  He bought it for just a couple seconds, then realized it was $$ napkins. lol

Me and the kids had a couple fun summer swim nights this week!  Jaceman conquered his fears and mastered the back dive, and we all enjoyed the new raft chairs Mom and I got a Sams!

(That last gif = how a lot of swim days go with them.  The sibling rivalry is real!)

A post from Christine that was timely and encouraging for me this morning:

Some of my favorite Peloton coaches featured in Time Magazine this month!

Big news... I have floors and plumbing! lol  And yes, my mind went right to the verses about building on a firm foundation.

Chet texted me this happy summer pic with the hashtag #missingmockey.  Glad they're having fun, and glad they thought of me! lol  And happy I finally get to see Sarah again in a couple days (haven't seen her in person since my Tacos 4 Life party two months ago)!

Today, my cousin's company had a lunch event with the Midway food truck (tasty, but way too hot outside for food trucks) and then they served drinks, cookies, and bundtinis in their office!

Justin had taken Mitch and Jake to Omaha for the World Series, but Ashley and Gene and Nancy were there, along with several of Ashley's coworkers that I got to meet, and it was fun to see them and catch up a bit!  We haven't had a real family get-together in quite some time thanks to COVID, so none of the Peavlers were aware that I was working at the Norman courthouse until this week! lol  I failed to get a pic with Ashley, but here's what we both looked like today, so just pretend the dividing line is gone. lol

Tomorrow is the new Jurassic World and Olive Garden with Kristin, and I'm very much looking forward to all of that!! ❤

This song has been so comforting and uplifting for me lately...

"May the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,

and may He establish the work of our hands!
