But, I do need to remember to actually enjoy them instead of focusing on everything that's stressful when I'm with them. I feel like that was me this past weekend. I really had an AMAZING weekend! But I'll admit that I was less enthusiastic at times because I couldn't quit thinking about my responsibilities. How annoying.
Some things to remember from my weekend:
-Lunch with Iris Friday afternoon...great catch-up time.
-Tag-teaming Friday night Bible study with Bryan. I'd say it was some quality bonding time for both of us. It was awesome to be able to plan and get excited about the study together...he was the perfect study leader too.
-Tulip Noir for breakfast with Ash and Mom on Saturday morning! I experienced the best matcha green tea of my life. :)
-We headed to the fashion mall after that where I found wonderful, Anthropologie, pajama pants on sale. Chaching!
-Baby Christian had his first birthday and we celebrated with a brunch style party. I love spending time with family. Andria did a great job making fun/cute foods for the occasion.
-Clint and Alesa came back to Lafayette Saturday evening. Wonderful turn of events!
-Heidi spent Saturday night with me and also most of Sunday too. She's great.
-Whole wheat pancakes for breakfast Sunday morning with Mom, Kurt, and Heidi. We piled them high with fruit, yogurt, and whipped cream.
-Reading a really good novel for my history class at random times throughout the weekend.
-Wild Cat run w/Mom. We totally dominated those ravines! It was a really pretty Sunday evening too...misty and perfectly cool.
-Watching Anne of Avonlea with mom.
Seriously, when I stop and think about it...I'm so blessed to have the friends and family that I do. Hmmm. I'm feeling a little better already. I need to remind myself of what life is really about sometimes.
And move I shall! Off to spend the rest of my night studying for my Horticulture exam tomorrow morning! Wish me luck.
