Veterans Day

Sunday was the primary program and it was so sweet, it really is the best Sunday. After church Frankie and Delaney went downstairs and made Christmas list presentations and then shared them with us.

Maybe they’re onto something, because Matt already bought Delaney her biggest gift (off Marketplace) which never happens, so winning!
Matt went into work on Monday and then we had to postpone family night because Delaney had a lot of homework. 

On Tuesday I picked Ginny up in Huntington and we went to a Pastor Appreciation lunch at the Museum of the Bible. 
It was a lovely program and we spread out so we could mingle and get to know people and I loved the table I chose. We had great conversations and made some sweet connections. 
Part of my calling is just making contacts and showing up, and I am enjoying that. 
The museum is beautiful and for a buffet lunch everything was really delicious - especially the crème brûlée of which I had 3 (they were so small). 👀 I got my comeuppance for that and had a sad tummy all evening. 
After the lunch and the speakers we got a private tour and also a free membership for a year. I’m excited to take the crew! Ginny and I always have lots to talk about and it was really just a nice day. 

Route 66 memories are popping up on Facebook and I’ve said it before, but I’m so grateful we took the trip. If I at all can, I hope I will always take the trip, that I’ll always remember that it is never convenient, but that it is always worth it.  
Today Matt met up with Dan in DC to do veterans stuff and the rest of us had a plan to get Delaney’s pointe shoes but she decided she’d rather have a day off and get them when we go to Charlottesville for Thanksgiving. Having plans changed last night (after family night) threw me off so then we did nothing. Frankie helped me bring in all the Christmas trees and I’ll start putting up one each day and then Carter came over and they watched Twilgiht. 

So grateful for all the amazing veterans in my life!
