{thankful} for rest.

I didn't mince words last week when I hinted that a break was in order.
My man took three days off last weekend, which was so needed for both of us.
We worked in the yard, ate donuts, were blessed to see my sister baptized (woot woot), 
visited with friends, and watched movies after the kids went to bed.
It was awesome.
And this coming weekend... I can barely contain my excitement.
My wonderful, gracious, rockin' parents are coming to stay overnight with the boys
so that Nick and I can take the train to Portland.
I'm going to my first ever blogger meet up (holla), we'll go to the Saturday market,
sleep in (heck to the yes) and eat donuts (do you see a theme?).




I seriously cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this. 
A night away with Nick in a different city, tax free shopping, meeting new friends,
and uninterrupted sleep. Total refreshment in my book.
Thank you, Jesus.


What happened in your week that makes you grateful?
I'd love to hear about it.
Grab a button, link up, and make friends!

*And please note! Next Thursday is my birthday, which means an EPIC giveaway here on the blog. 
Get ready! That also means that my {thankful} post will go up Friday - I hope you'll join me!

    I'm excited for YOU! Those times away with our hubs can be so amazing and always needed to reconnect. LUcky! I love Portland! Seattle is great, but Portland it's just so funky, and I like funky! Um... also your lil man is super cute with that donut face.
