This weekend was just what we needed. I'm so thankful for times when Chris and I can truly relax, and do things just enough differently to make a weekend seem extra great. On Saturday we got to sleep in (both of us! which doesn't happen often), watch football, and still have time to make a good breakfast. Then we went to a nearby apartment complex where some other teachers live to swim and soak up some sunshine. The atmosphere and fellowship was wonderful. And then after being home for a few hours, Erik and Amanda came over for pizza and Australia planning. We're going over our Christmas holiday to visit some of our friends from last year. We can't wait!
And since we had the time, so we thought why not make our own! We made one pizza and one calzone just to mix it up. Both were so delicious!
Good times with the Frys!
Sunday was nice too. We went to the 9:00 service for church, and then the boys went to play basketball while Amanda and I did some grocery shopping. We were both back before 1:00, which I always appreciate on a Sunday. Chris and I then had the rest of the day to relax, grade papers, do some cleaning, and just hang out together before starting up another busy week. Don't get me wrong, we love what we do during the week, but without our weekends, we wouldn't have as much energy and oomph to make it those five crazy days!
I'm sitting here typing this on Monday at 5:00 waiting for Chris to get back from practice so we can watch the SeaHawk's game with Erik and Amanda. We're having chili and cornbread, and watching football. . . somehow it feels like our weekend just got extended one day :)
Yay! Praise God for food, fellowhsip, and relaxation :) My time with Luke is the best when we can just recover from the craziness of life. God works through our husbands (and through us for them) to rejuvenate and encourage us. It makes a big difference when the teaching begins...so I've noticed :)
