Miscellany Monday

My mum is here for two weeks so I may be a little absent while otherwise occupied with good food and good times. So it's a linking week (still looking forward to The Pleated Poppy on Wednesday - oh my!) Today I'm linking with Carissa again...

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

ONE... When my Dad visits, even though I turn 30 next year, I look forward to time with my Daddy. When my Mum visits I look forward to time with a good friend.

TWO... We swam in Grand Memere's pool on Saturday and it was bliss. The Mommy and me float from Walmart is my new favourite thing.

THREE... I am helping out in our church's search for a new pastor and am so encouraged by all the great men out there serving God.

FOUR... I got to do two scrapbook pages yesterday which makes me so happy and I am looking forward to posting them soon, well, when mum leaves!

FIVE... I get my new "porch" swing assembled tonight by my loving Husby.

SIX... We get to go to the Boston Aquarium in a few weeks with Toby - oh how he will love the fishes!

SEVEN... Life is not perfect, our expenses exceed our income, my family lives 3000 miles away, Toby is in daycare, I have very little time to myself, my house is consistently messy, but on the whole I live a wonderfully blessed life. I have the best Husby, the cutest most well behaved baby, a job with people I love, a family who would cross an ocean for me, a wonderful daycare lady, always enough to get by and a messy house usually means we've had fun this weekend!

  1. Hi,

    I came over from Carissa's. I love your miscellany. I dream of having a house with a porch swing one day. I used to live in a house that had one and I would curl up with pillows, watch the animals and flowers around me and read. Just perfect ;)

    I love your No. seven. Your life really sounds blessed and wonderful and I pray that the things you still struggle with will resolve themselves. I personally believe that (except knowing the Lord, of course) having friends and a wonderful family is all we really need because those are the people who stand with us and support us when things are not going so well and will celebrate and be happy for us when things are going well.

    Have a wonderful and blessed week,
    Kate

    I know what you mean on your number seven, where does time go, bills exceeding income, but still truly blessed.
