Top of a Tuesday

We are up and at 'em this Tuesday morning...

Still recovering from a wonderful weekend of Engaged Encounter. We had phenomenal couples and a great fellow presenting team, which made the weekend so fun. Relationships were bolstered, friendships were made, little MG did well. It was good all around.

The boy crew back here at the house did really well too, having a blast with Gramz and Pappy. They checked the soccer games off their lists and then returned home to feast and play and be. Thanks to my parents for being such attentive caretakers. My mom even practiced the piano with M for the last few days! I'm in heaven... :) Thank you to Mimi and Papa for their wonderful heroics in helping with the soccer games and little MG in the evenings. It really takes a village in our world and I'm beyond grateful for our support team. They are THE BEST.
Don't worry, GG and I pinch ourselves regularly. We recognize that what we have is so special. Thanks be to God. And we pray we can pay it forward to our friends and family someday. If we can do half of what our parents do for us...

This week we are now rising to the challenge of readying for a week in Florida for spring break. G and P left today to head down there ahead of us. We will join them Saturday to bask in the sunshine and surf. We were hoping to include the space shuttle Endeavor launch in our trip, but unfortunately, it was just delayed 10 days! Bummer! A Florida vacation is still a vacation (and one we need desperately!) GG and I talked this weekend how rejuvenating a week away is going to be for our family. We're greatly looking forward to it!! The kids can't stop talking about the beach and counting down the days.

So, pray for me this week. Add it to your list of "not-very-important-but-God-listens-anyway" prayers. I am sitting down today to map out daily to-do lists so that we're ready by Friday evening. This is my opportunity to bask in mama glory. This is what I live for.

Ready... Set... Go!!
God bless you today,

Good luck getting it all ready and have a wonderful time!

And remember...if you forget something, I'm sure you can buy it in Florida. :)

...And maybe your parents will even buy it for you!

Can't wait to see the G-Ville team again!!!! The washer and dryer are in full gear now readying for your visit.

Happy Wednesday to all! Hope MG is improving and ready to "rock". (travel, that is)

It dawned on me on the way home from the pharmacy that it's Witmer, not Whitmer...???

Don't worry Carolina! We had people confuse the spelling all the time thanks to Whitmer High School in our area growing up! No one ever got it right! :) lol
