thankful for more than just food.

  • regular phone calls with beth
  • a room full of ladies worshiping
  • priscilla shirer's teaching
  • "dad jokes" (puns)
  • brownies!!!!!


  • the retreat all came together
  • chicken fingers & fries
  • 125+ women gathered together to hear from God
  • hearing how one lady heard God's voice for the first time
  • scones...hot, fresh, delicious scones (in a wire basket to boot!)


  • sunday runs with alison (and guest runners for the last part)
  • 10 minute end of retreat clean up (many hands really do make lite work!)
  • shea's tea - small gesture that was really really special and impactful
  • no washers overflowed in my laundry experience tuesday (though one totally did in my experience today...but bubbles aren't so hard to clean up after all)
  • the way nick and the kids had the cabin so neat and straight at the end of saturday
  • delightful monday night dinner and mini-driving lesson with a treasured friend


  • getting to share monday during mom's community group
  • lunch time movie (and nap)
  • the other kids' boxes from yaya and grandaddy arrived
  • the best pain au chocolat yet 
  • caroline's thoughts and writing
