one.
Friday night I went to a little surprise party for my little's birthday! I love every moment I get to spend with her & am so blessed to have her in my life. So proud of who she is & who she is becoming.
two.
Then Friday night ended perfectly, a phone date with MCKINLIE (she says I always refer to her as "this girl," so using her name this time). I don't think there's much better than hearing her talk with such excitement about her week at camp. Can't wait to hear from my other girls about it.
three.
Then Saturday, my friend Sara came. We did some exploring downtown, a little shopping, dinner with Cait's parents (have I mentioned that I love living near them?), & then had to stop at my new favorite place [it could be dangerous that I live about 1 minutes from here].
four.
Sunday included Cait & Sara for lunch, [& maybe dessert at Menchie's...], & then an afternoon of watching old Army Wives on Netflix & getting ready for my last Bible study with my girls (via Skype) on Wednesday.
five.
Just finishing up the last chapter of Radical. SO good. I know I've gone on & on about it, but I don't get into books like this. Give me Christian fiction any day, but I have a hard time reading things like this. Not at all with this book. Can't wait to finish de-briefing the book with you friends. One of my favorite parts that I just read (& plenty more later):
In the Gospel we have seen the depth of our inadequacy and the extent of our inability to accomplish anything of eternal value apart from the power of God. We are a planning, strategizing, implementing people, yet radical obedience to Christ requires that we be a praying people.
-David Platt, Radical, p. 188

I know it's Sunday, but I'm already looking forward to next weekend! Going home Friday for the first time since I moved. Friday I'll see my dad's side of the family (& all the little cousins!), Saturday I'll go with my dad to work on the church building (can't WAIT to see how much is done now!), & that night we'll go to my mom's parents for Father's Day with them on Sunday. Busy weekend, but so excited. Annnnd, I'll get my new kitten finally!
Happy Monday, bloggy friends.
