Well #100 posts it is! Although, I feel like I skipped a number somewhere--I think I put two days into one post. Anyways...

Another day at work, where I was ready to head home. But not before stopping to collect some more Pokeballs at the SCBC sign--am I becoming that person? The game is a little addicting. A little.

Went for another walk with my mom on the dam. We caught up on my dad and how his surgery went yesterday--which turned out to not be an additional tear in his rotator cuff, but the previous surgery had separated from the thing they'd attached in there. So my dad seemed rather positive that this recovery would go smoothly. I hope so!

We talked about the settlement they are trying to make over their roof. For something that was installed incorrectly, it's insane to me they have to pay a dime towards it, but nonetheless we're here, and hopefully that will be over soon. It's been a constant headache for my parents for months now--about 7 to be exact.

After a night on the couch with Stephen, as I tried to get our hospital bills taken care of and possibly reimbursed (yay!), I took the long walk upstairs to read some more of my book, before Stephen and I fell asleep to our own talking.

After coming home this evening, something in me would not let me stay awake. It's like the weeks of lack of sleep have caught up to me. I couldn't sit up straight for long periods, before I laid my head down in Stephen's lap on the couch. We watched Blacklist episodes, and clips from recent hearings with Hilary Clinton and the email scandal--which that whole situation is just absurd to me. I kept getting bits and pieces as I went from awake to comatose.

Good thing this week is super quiet, as we have three whole days of nothing going on in the evening! It is about the weirdest sensation feeling like I need to do something, when there's nothing to do. I managed in my zombie state though to fold laundry, put away laundry and start on the dishes. Stephen was awesome and helped me by unloading dishes and feeding puppies--plus being my strong arms to lift the hamper upstairs. I also came home to him working really hard on making the ground level for a gravel patio, something like this.

I also downloaded Pokemon Go last night, just to see what the fuss is about. I can see how it can be addicting, but tonight I decided to catch a few that were snooping around my neighbors house from the comfort of my bed.

Hanging out at the neighbors.

My heart is singing songs right now, because I am pretty sure tonight and the next two nights there are NO plans on the table for my evenings, which means our house can actually be cleaned and I can have a few minutes to myself each night!

Stephen came home with two candles in hand for me. He knows the state of the house, the smell of the house, has been bugging the mess out of me. So very sweetly, he went and bought me some sweet smelling candles to mask the smell--which today actually was much better from having cleaned the carpets with some deodorizer yesterday. This man is so thoughtful where it counts.

So tonight I made dinner, and realized we have our blueberries from this past Saturday and Stephen had requested cobbler. Since you can't have blueberry cobbler without ice cream, Stephen ran to Aldi's and picked up a few items including some good ole vanilla ice cream.

So many berries!

It turned out pretty well, but I think for this size pan I really needed a bit more cobbler bits--is that what you call that? Well, a little less blueberry and maybe a bit more breading. But still delicious.

This is one of the first Sundays in a while where the day's schedule was packed, that I didn't feel overwhelmed by the idea of it. Honestly while I feel my thoughts have been so much more consumed with the idea of making sure I'm not draining myself with the activities of the day, I keep feeling like God shows up and alleviates that stress and anxiety. He keeps showing more of himself to me through something that feels like a nuisance and a headache, making the bad into good.

So we had a great day filled with faces we love and new ones to meet and get to know. We ventured to church at FBC Lex for LifeGroup with Sarah and Dan. Headed to Oakwood for service, which David challenged us to step up to the plate to serve, as well as using our talents for His glory. Then we went to lunch with the gang at Five Guys. We got to meet Leigh & Grant, as well as Lauren who actually has attended my church since I was a kid and so was she, but our age difference never put us in the same group of people.

Ended the day at Steve's house spending time talking about communication efforts in our college and career. Three hours later, with new tasks to accomplish, I headed home to try and get some much needed alone time after a weekend that has been crazy packed with goodness.

I changed in my pajamas. Cleaned the carpet some (it's been smelling awful from the dogs). Did some laundry. Then relaxed. Read. Recharged.

Out in Swansea today to hangout with our favorite College and Career group, we managed to pick lots of blueberries and swim to our hearts content.

Jason showing legs.. gasp!

We spent time relaxing, playing ultimate frisbee (well they did), eating, and having a devotional.

Listening to Luke's devotion

Before the day ended, Stephen and I met up with Phil & Amber and Phillip & Makayla to see The Secret Life of Pets, which was amazingly pretty funny and had some adult level humor, although not inappropriate humor. We checked out Phillips new fish tank and spent time in prayer as well as discussion about anything from politics to religion to friends.

This Friday filled up fast--just one of those days where I feel like I'm running from sun-up to sun-down. Although, when it's filled with familiar faces, the running around doesn't seem like too much work.

After getting my flat tire fixed, and feeling like my service guy stepped out of the Jersey Shore, I drove over to Columbia to meet Kayla for lunch.

Shhh. I snuck a photo.

To both our surprise, there are two Cantina 76's, so glad she told me which one she was going to cause we definitely would have ended up at two separate tables and two separate restaurants. We managed to also find a nearby cupcake shop and do some much needed shopping and gabbing while exploring The Mast General Store.

I headed home for about an hour nap, before Stephen and I went to Wiz's to meet with Chelsea and Nick. We closed down the restaurant, as we caught up on the past few months of each other's lives. While at times you wonder why some friends seem to come and go out of your life, its nice when its so easy to pick back up right where you left off, like no time has passed at all.

How did we get blessed with such amazing people to share our lives with? 

Before coming to church, I got a Snapchat message from Kimmie asking if I was going to be at service. It's literally been months since I've gotten to see her, and I was so happy that she finally came last night. I sat with her all night in hopes we'd get a chance to catch up--but I ended up cleaning up the kitchen with Sarah and missed Kimmie heading home.

Just making the craziest hat ever.
