| Breaking in Brad's new board [literally, apparently] on Father's Day weekend. |
After spending Father's Day at the lake, and every other weekend since we've been married doing something other than staying put, we finally stayed in our new city for the weekend. It was nice to just sleep in and relax.
It's no secret to Byron that our current location isn't my favorite place in the world, but in the past week I decided that I would stop being such a Debbie Downer about it all, and actually try to enjoy it. And whatta you know? It's been great! I hate it when I single-handedly ruin things for myself, simply because I'm unhappy about where God's placed me.
Always be joyful. Be thankful in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you who belong to Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5: 16 & 18
Am I ever going to realize that He has it under control and there is a reason for where I am? Because He does and His plans for me are better and much more interesting than my plans for myself.
In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Understated, Overlooked, Everyday Blessings:
- Saturday brunch dates.
- Walks in the river with the pups. Mook killed a bird and Bridget actually swam --and LOVED it!
- Monday night home-cooked dinners with my husband.
 |
| Hawaiian pork chops with brown rice & sugar snap peas, Mmmm! |
- Shopping with our wedding gift certificates.
 |
| Did you buy this new pillow just for me?! |
- Runs along the river.
- Delicious summer desserts breakfasts.
- Mid-week trips home to spend time with my family and friends.
Byron and I are headed to North Carolina this weekend [to see my brother, Stephen!!!], so I decided to come into Lilburn early to spend some time with my sweet family. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family and I absolutely love them.

I don't know if you've heard the saying but it's thrown around military life all the darn time. Bloom where you're planted! Any living situation can't be *that* bad if you're with the one you love and making the best of it! I hope you all get to discover all the awesome things around your new place :)
