Happy Friday, y’all!
This is my current situation:
Since it’s Friday, let me share five things with you. 🙂
#1. Interruptions
The other day I got dinner with my friend on the waterfront. While we were there, there was a bridge lift. We enjoyed watching the traffic stop, the bridge rise, and the big boat coming through. The next morning as I slowed down on the freeway for a bridge lift, I found this picture on my phone and took a minute to appreciate moments that force me to stop and to enjoy the moment, knowing that the moment that is making me pause looks different from another angle. And it’s a cool picture of the bridge, thanks.
#2. Final Friday Finance
You guys, I am really excited about this. My friend Katie and I are starting up a monthly link up called Final Friday Finance. Guess when it goes live and what it’s about… ;) If you write ANY BLOG about finance (budgeting pros/cons, debt repayment, money saving tips/tricks), we want you to come link up. Encouraging each other and reading other people’s success stories (and failures, those help!) is a huge important part for my personal debt repayment journey. and having friends like Brittany who are seriously so invaluable in answering my questions and being honest and vulnerable. So anyway! The link up goes live NEXT FRIDAY, so get your posts all ready to share!
#3. Upsized
One day I got a mocha and at the last minute said “can I actually get it in the big size??” and then I was really glad I did because I spent the day with these three adorable tornados. They’re my new pastor’s kids (and a fourth is on the way in a few weeks!) and I’m loving getting to know them.
#4. Four days
Only FOUR DAYS until I’m reunited with my favorite little tiny twins. I FaceTimed with them last night and I can’t believe that next week at this time I’ll be WITH THEM. I haven’t been to their house since JANUARY.
#5. Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge
My friend Bradley is building his photography business (check out his Facebook page here!) and invited me to come along with him while he took pictures. It was really fun, we were kind of on a safari or something.
At one point I stood on the road, wind flowing through my hair and my dress, sun setting, and I felt so free and so alive. It felt a little bit like I got out of the car and the world around me was full of excitement that I was there. It was so strange and wonderful.
Well. it’s been fun. I’m off to visit Susannah. I hope you have a super awesome Friday 🙂
