Weekend

We helped bring some of Jeanne’s things from her mom’s house on Saturday. We’ll store them in our garage until Christian brings his truck up on Wednesday. I made shepards pie and better than shopping cake and we celebrated Christian’s birthday.  

Adi recorded us singing and it’s really cool but how do I get it to not say “cinematic” when I screenshot?  #oldladyprobs 
But actually I’ve had technically problems since I was a regular lady because it’s just so much. How can I be expected to keep up?

Bubba wanted to play Skull King and Adi won again. She’s having quite the run. I tucked Delaney in and admired her cute rat stuff Ellie gave her for her birthday. I had no idea any of this was even a thing, so I was v impressed. 🤣 So thoughtful and on the nose!

I had my alarm set for 7:00 this morning and Matt and I woke up and I thought, I’ll just close my eyes and Matt will wake me up in 10 minutes. And then I looked at my phone and it was 8:00! Fastest shower ever and because Adi had a ministering interview after church and also was playing the organ we took 2 cars. She did such a good job on the organ today too, I’m so proud of her. 

I made grilled cheese and tomato bisque for lunch and then we all had round 2 of cake and ice cream. We’re on a real ice cream kick. I finally won a round of Skull King and then we had to give kisses and loves till next week. 

We assured Jeanne that she’s welcome here anytime and she can just walk in and the basement bedroom is hers whenever she might want it. We had a fun weekend with them, and also I know she is hurting and missing her mom. There’s so much - coming home to visit will always look different now, she’ll never meet Ruby in this life, and that’s not even touching on the financial piece of everything. We are just trying to be a safe, loving, easy place to be. 

Matt and I also had the opportunity to FaceTime Cosette and answer some questions about The Family Proclamation for her Eternal Families class. It was really neat to hear her questions and hear Matt’s responses and express how I feel. There are so many hard things going on, so many people hurting and so many struggles and I am so very grateful for the gospel. 

We had a family walk and then a longer couples walk and that was a weekend. A Maryland weekend not a Hawaiian one and that just does not seem right. 😩
