Back in the Saddle....

Good Morning-

How sad that it's Wednesday and I'm just now getting to my "back in the saddle" post. Well, I guess that means we're all just that much closer to Friday. =)

It's been a week pretty much on track so far. Brayden's eye dr. appt. went as well as we'd hoped for on Monday - and he's now also sporting a new pair of glasses. However, he's still primarily going with his contacts which were also ordered - with a new component of "HD" that apparently makes them that much better quality. I'm going to hold out with new contacts for me until they allow me to see tv in 3D....ha ha!

Mikayla and I also enjoyed our pedicures - my toes and feet are so much happier.

Then, there's these ladies:

This picture will be doctored and added to when John gets some time to eliminate the black smudge stuff off our fireplace, but I picked just this one as it shows the good times we were having posing for Mikayla as she stood all the way at the doorway trying to snap the pic. It's a phenomenal lens, but you have to be a long ways away if you want a group shot.

I LOVE these ladies - last night we honored Kimmie's b-day and caught up. One of our gals revealed a boyfriend in her life who is actually a star on the OSU football team. While he's not a "Duck" - being a "Beaver" is the next best thing, and it will make following OSU football that much more fun having a "link" to this guy. But, even more importantly, how awesome it is to see a young woman in love!

Sadly, I ended up missing out on the very tail end of chatting with the "stragglers". Off to bed I went, second night in a row with ice packs. Thank God I see my mom today, as the whole pain thing is making me very discouraged. I haven't even done the exercises recently that would add strain to my shoulders and neck (i.e. elliptical or the Group Power workout) - ugh. Apparently, hurrying up to sweep, mop, and Windex the patio doors and glass is all it takes to put me over the edge. Sigh...

Hope your week has already been successful, and you have high expectations for the what's still left-

Looks like such a great group of ladies:)

I must know, what kind of lens do you have. My Canaon is new (November) and I have recently started purchasing attachments. Please share...:)

I'm glad you are having a great week. It's been a pretty good week here in the south.

Hey, was wondering how Wednesday nights are going?

Tiffany - John just sent you a nice detailed message in Facebook about camera stuff - hope it helps. He gets kind of giddy talking photography....

And, Sara - Thanks so much for asking - Wednesday nights are really a great fit for our family. It's so much more intimate - allows us to spend some quality time with some special people in our life, and is a perfect fit for the kids. Sadly, though, I had to bypass this last week's service as I was home with a headache. It was a rough week that way - I'm thankful I'm feeling better at this point.

I'll see if I can't get a little more upbeat post put up - I feel like I've been a bit of a "Debbie Downer" lately.....

I want this picture on FB!! There are a lot I feel that never made it there, like Justin Biebs night!

Love you! You are great.
