2 Boys and Their Mom

How could this not be the best part of my day? I rejoice in Skype and the way it connects me to others around the world. And, once I am at liberty to share the other best part of my day, you'll know why I'm even more thankful for it.

Sushi, Target, and Michael's

Those are the three places Jess and I went to this evening. I like when it works out to run some errands together and get the chance to spend some time together along the way. I rejoice in a sister-in-law who is up for last minute errand running together :)

Fresca's

I made plans quite last minute to go there tonight with Oliver, Laura, and baby Gracelynn. And it worked out! I love when stuff like that happens. I rejoice in the chance to eat dinner with good friends, instead of by myself. And in the chance to see baby Gracelynn.

First time at Souplantation!

I've been spending a lot of time with Kristine lately. And I love it. Today after a crazy morning at work, we spent an hour or so at the gym. And then, I took her to Souplantation for her very first time ever! And she loved it, just like I knew she would :) I rejoice in introducing a good friend to one of my very favorite places to eat. And more importantly, the chance to spend more time together.

Workout

With my wonderful friend Kristine. I love her. And the fact that an hour on the treadmill goes by so quickly with her next to me. I rejoice in how great I feel from an evening at the gym with a good friend.

Movie Day

With Emily. Between last night and today we watched 3 different movies. Sometimes it's good to just chill out and not do much. This was one of those days. I rejoice in entertaining movies and a cute girl to watch them with. I also rejoice in a quick hangout with my bestie this evening.

Old Roomie

I've been seeing a lot of old friends lately. And I love it. Today was no different. I had lunch with my old roomie, Amanda. It was so great to catch up and here about all the exciting things going on in her life. I rejoice in a roommate who became a friend and the chance to spend some time with her.

Kristine

A really great friend from work. I spent 18 hours with her today, between work and hanging out at her house. And I loved every minute of it. I rejoice in time spent with a great woman.

Long Lasting Friendship

I'm pretty sure the best part of my day is always when I get to spend time with people, if that happens. And today was no different. I got to catch up with my dear friend Rachel, a friend from the y and the bold program. 2 great things I miss dearly. I rejoice in friendships that last through life changes.

Rainforest Cafe

We went there for sibling birthday lunch today to celebrate our amazing sister Rebecca. It was a wonderful time of being together. We seriously have so much fun when we are all together. And, we called and chatted a bit with the North Carolina peeps so that made it even better. Once again I rejoice in the Lord blessing me with a family who I completely enjoy spending time with.

Laid Back Saturday

I slept in. I had lunch with Rachel and Ryan and did a bit of shopping. I chilled at the Gallina's house for awhile. I had a nice chat with Melanee. I went to dinner with the Gallina family, including Ron and Rach. Then I chilled at the Gallina's some more. I rejoice in days of not really doing much but being with the people you love.

8 Hours

At the Cox residence. Just hangin out. Not doin much. I rejoice in that.

Meeting Gracelynn

Does it get much better than meeting a brand new life for the first time? I think not. And I've been getting to do that a lot lately. Today I got to meet baby Gracelynn. She is the cutest ever. I rejoice in yet another lil life to love on.

Tastefully Simple

I went to a party tonight. Tastefully simple sells yummy food products. So it meant free dinner :) we all know how I love free food. I rejoice in fun party and some free food.

Gracelynn!

Was born today :) I rejoice in another new life that I get to be a part of. Huge congrats to dear friends Oliver and Laura!

Waffles and Poolside Chats

That's how I spent my morning with Rach, Jess, and Em. All those girls are seriously great and I love getting to eat yummy food with them and enjoy some nice, California sunshine with them. I rejoice Ina morning with my sisters.

Last Minute Sibling Time

I had dinner tonight with Bec, Ron, Rach, and MK. It was planned only a couple hours before. So glad it worked out. Man, I love those peeps! I rejoice in unexpected time with some of my very favorite people.

Does the pic look weird?

Amiga

I had dinner tonight with one of my very favorite "amigas", Lissette, and her adorable lil boy Daniel. Man, my friends have cute kids:) I rejoice in some good catch up time with a friend who I don't get to see much these days.

Nothing

That's what I did today. It was much needed. I rejoice in the chance to rejuvenate.

Wendy's

I went there for lunch today with my brother Ronnie. I rejoice in the chance for some catch up time. Also, banana has no regards for my sleeping habits :) therefore they are all out of whack. Hence the reason I have not blogged the last few days. No worries though, I changed the time for the reminder on my iPad.
