THE PRESENT 

Breakfast ~ What was your day like today? I got up when I heard Behrenger...about 6:30.  I played with him for an hour before going in where Zaden was.  We played and watched movies throughout the day.  I didn't have anything else planned today and so it was all about the kids.  I did some laundry and made sure all the kids clothes were clean to send home with them.  I bathed Behr and made sure Zaden did as well.  Natalie brought her cuties over around 11:00 and so I fixed them some lunch and spent time with them as well. I had to run to the pharmacy and get Larry and my meds and while I was out I treated myself to a Fiiz drink.  (I love the peaches and cream)  We cleaned everything up before Larry got home.  Larry and I went to a few of our neighbors for a progressive dinner. 

Lunch ~ Is there something you really want right now but can't have?  Explain. I wish my torso was longer and that I would quit shrinking.  But of course that is life and I can't change it but oh I would really like a longer torso. 

Dinner ~ What do you wish you could control right now? I really want Kimleighel to get a job and she has been trying and just when I think she is going to get a break....she doesn't.  It makes me sad and angry at the same time.  Kimi is smart and so capable of so much.  I also would really like Natalie to be blessed with another healthy baby.  I know their family desires that also and it breaks my heart that she keeps miscarrying.

Midnight Snack ~ If you could eliminate one of your current concerns/worries/stresses, what would it be? Kimi would have a job!

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?) Trust in God and His Plan and Timing! I have been reminded of this a few times this week.  Just because things don't make sense to us, everything for a reason and God knows best.

Progressive Dinner

Our ward had a progressive dinner tonight and it was pretty great.   My group consisted of my neighbors and the Wards that just live on the next street.  We met at the Bailey's for salad.  Everyone brought something to add to the salad and we enjoyed our salads outside in the back yard.  It was fun hearing Fonzie chat away.  Fonzie and Teri aren't members but are really nice and this is really the first time I have been around Fonz and he's a talker.  A group of us went to breakfast with Teri a year or so ago and so I did know her.  Their cute daughter, Amanda got baptized a few years ago and so I knew her best because we were involved with her more.  After tonight I think our neighbors need to get together more often.

After our salad we went to Mike and Shirley's and had a yummy chicken dinner. I could tell Shirley was a little stressed but I thought everything turned out really nice.  Larry and I mentioned that had any of this been at our house we would have served the food on paper plates and plastic table cloths.  We are all about easy.  We couldn't volunteer to have it at our house though because we still had grands there when we left.

After our yummy dinner and wonderful conversations, everyone met at the Boerstra's for dessert.  It was fun seeing so many familiar faces of good neighbors and friends that don't attend church.  I really liked this activity and feel like it was a great way to get to know your neighbors better.
