Weekend Recap

Entangled on an iPad! 

Friday night was Lexi’s big birthday sleepover just in case you missed that post over the weekend.  The rest of Saturday morning was spent around the house cleaning.  We had our first of two home study visits with DSS Saturday afternoon.  It turns out to be a long but painless process.  She just sat down with us with a list of 11 pages of questions.  We turned to page 2 after an hour.  Yeah.  So we ended up getting through 5 pages and have the second visit scheduled in 2 weeks.  By the time she left, we were all starved and went to Moe’s with Scott’s parents.  After that, we had to run over to my parents’ so Scott could move some furniture. We were all WIPED OUT after our late night for the sleepover so we went straight home for bed.

Sunday morning was church.  It’s the normal but I’m super excited as they announced that they’d picked the next pastor.  I’m not sure if I ever mentioned that our pastor stepped down last Spring.  He had some personal issues to attend to and I thought he might go back to pastoring but has chosen not to.  I’m really excited for this new season of our church. 

Sunday afternoon Scott went mountain bike riding and Emma stayed with Scott’s parents after lunch.  Lexi and I went to do some shopping!  She has already outgrown jeans I bought her this summer on vacation.  But jeans were just not in the cards.  The 6x in the little girls section were all too small to button and the 7’s in the big girl section were way too big.  We ended up with 3 sweater/legging outfits.  As a jean lover it’s hard to fathom a winter wardrobe without plenty of jeans to choose from but it seems like Lexi is going to be all leggings, all the time.

Sunday evening I ended up making some soup for us and then headed over to Melissa’s house to work on the eBook.  I can’t stress enough just how much work Melissa (and even her husband Jeff) has put into this book. There’s been a lot of formatting and editing and behind the scenes stuff that I think it will be easy to take for granted once everything is set up.  I’ve gotten a lot of good response from other bloggers and I think this weekend is going to be huge.

Actually, this week is going to be huge no matter what.  Two projects I’ve been working on for over 6 months at work are implementing this week.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings are all going to be busy.  The eBook launches Friday so the weekend will probably be anything but a respite.  But I had to launch on a day I wasn’t working and that was it before the holiday season.  What I’m trying to say is don’t get worried when you see me checking into Starbucks a few times this week.  And a few prayers would be welcome too.

Tomorrow I’ll be starting to post more about the book and web site until it launches on Friday.  See you back then and hope your week is starting off well!
