As I began this Monday I now have a sister who is a high school graduate. Jason and I enjoyed Carlee's graduation weekend in Destin/Fort Walton.
Friday consisted of good food, lots of family, and that memorable moment when they said, "Carlee Anna Sansom" and she walked across the stage. After graduation, my parents and Carlee's boyfriend's parents had put together a wonderful party for them just down the road.
Carlee and Tyler (her boyfriend) were "Preschool Sweethearts" (as we like to say).
They're old pros at this whole graduating thang :)
My wittle swister is moving forward.
By the end of this week, Jason and I will hopefully
- Have Jason moved in to his summer residence
- Have a lot of Jason's stuff moved into my apartment for storage
- Have a working and functional washing machine (finally!)
- Have tons more wedding planning done
- Have our engagement pictures taken (finally!)
- Have done tons of random things in between all of these huge things and both worked a 40 hour week!
In the midst of all of this, I MUST get back to eating right. Last week I got my blood work results and everything was fine except my cholesterol was a tad bit high and my insulin levels were high. Praise God that there is nothing more serious. I know that I MUST focus on eating according to the plan that the doctor gave me (I'll share that later this week) and exercise regularly. I also know from experience that during a time of lots of celebrations and transitions, it's very very hard to stay focused on a healthy lifestyle. I am praying for focus and discipline during this time.
I am wanting to cook dinner at home a couple of nights this week, so stay tuned for recipes. If all goes as planned, I may have some good ones up my sleeve :)
Now that you all feel sufficiently caught up on my life, I'll quit rambling. Happy Monday everyone!
Prayer Focus of the Day: Today I am praying for focus and discipline. Titus 1:7-9 says, "For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it." I am praying myself and for each of you friends and readers that these characteristics would define our inward and outward lives.
