Ramblings and More

We had a wonderful weekend. Not as busy as most tend to be and that was a nice for a change of pace. On Friday, we went to a friends for dinner. All I have to say was it was EXCELLENT! Our friend went all out and prepared tomatoes with fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette, grilled steak, grilled Alaskan Salmon (in honor of our upcoming move to Alaska), baked sweet potatoes, oven roasted asparagus, sautéed spinach, and topped it with berries and chocolate for desert! The company was wonderful too!

Saturday was pretty quiet too. Hubby reseeded the bare patches in the backyard and I cleared the shelves of books we no longer need. Our eldest child went to work, one child went to a friend’s for the afternoon, hubby took the 3 remaining oldest to Sea World, and the 3 littles played and watched a movie. Dinner, baths, and bedtime followed and hubby and I were able to sit together and watch a movie ourselves.

Sunday, as always, was another wonderful day of worship. Hubby was however on call so he left early Sunday morning and just came home just this morning.

Today looks to be another beautiful day! Now for some other news.

Over the weekend I had one of my posts highlighted and added to the great resources at Noble Womanhood. This is such an amazing honor and I am so thankful to the Lord for allowing me to touch the lives of others. Take some time and explore their site.

Apparently several others were touched by that post also, Praise be to God! I am always so thankful when the Lord takes my meager abilities to speak to others! Here are the links to the others who have highlighted this particluar post and their take on this issue.

Here is my weekly update for the Moms of Many Exercise Challenge.
I TOTALLY blew it this week and didn’t do a darn thing except run up the stairs. I hope to do better this week.

Today I am also blogging over at Weekend Kindness. I am sharing a bit about how the Lord is the one to build a home and how the blessings and wonders of parenthood Never Grow Old.

This week I was also tagged for the 7 Random Facts meme.
I was tagged by Vanessa, Sandy, TF, & Tracy! I have done several of these but realize that it might be good for some of my newer friends and readers to get to know me a little bit better. Here are four previous posts that have quirky, serious, interesting, and not so interesting facts about me. I am not however going to tag anyone this time around.
