A late morning wake up, even after I crawled out of bed for a cup of iced coffee, I climbed right back in to read some in 2 Corinthians, and delve back into my book again. Morning light barely seeping in as my black out curtains were still pulled shut. A few texts later, and I was making plans with Joanna to go shopping and grab some lunch.

So finally I made it to her place, just a storm began to hit. These summer showers are some of my favorite. With night sky flashing white as heat lightening rambles and raves in the sky above. After the rain stopped, we rolled out, and then spent the next 30 minutes chatting and driving, and also being super stubborn and indecisive about picking a place to eat.We settled on Moe's, and got our Moo Moo Mr. Cow kids meal. Joanna let me rant and vent about the previous nights unfolding. So thankful for friends that know when to listen, and give up their own time to spend it with me. It means the world to have her friendship.

Unfortunately our day was cut short, as Stephen and I had plans to go buy some landscaping rock for the patio. We settled on these suckers, and I hope they'll tie in with the existing stone we have to build the fire pit. Tomorrow we may get started on putting down some lining and the stone edgers to secure it.

Next step gravel!

Also, I ordered some candle making stuff the other day along with my cup holder radio insert--and it's coming Tuesday. I'm kind of stoked to try my hand at this. Here's hoping my candles come out smelling like a lavender bush!
