What a weekend.

Burley and I (mostly "I" because poor B works weekends), were thankfully able to have some great rest this weekend.

Friday night I had a marathon of an evening. Started with happy hour with Kris and her hubby (who sadly didn't make it into the photo spread... Sorry Tim.. We still love you), a long walk down to Burley's bar to pick him up after work (on foot... Kind of a poor excuse for a cab), and then dinner and drinks to top off the evening.  Yes. A lot of food and drink, but we walked a mile in between so I didn't REALLY want to shoot myself in the morning after recalling the turkey/cream cheese sandwich I inhaled for dinner, but I did just a little bit.

Saturday, we slept in and spent the entire day at the pool. Schwing.

And then Sunday, Burley and I decided to drive into the mountains for the day, drove up Mt. Evans (the highest paved road in the US I might add), talked and prayed about our house situation, and just had a really sweet day re-connecting with eachother and de-stressing about life.

We do have some new dreams and plans that we are looking forward (don't we always?), but the most important thing that I took away from yesterday is that we are the happiest when the days are slow, the food is good, and the mountains are in sight. We are the most joyful when we force ourselves to appreciate now instead of what tomorrow may/could/will bring. We love to dream. We love to be with each other and with God. We look forward to building community and a sense of home wherever our feet are planted.

With all that said, and as hard as it is for me to believe every second of every day, four walls of a house, does not a home make. I really do believe that. Even though this is THRIFTARY after all, and when I have four walls, I nest like it is my job.

We are a home. A strand of three. And in Christ we find our peace and our rest. 

I will keep you posted as our four walls may or may not change in the very near future. But I am re-connected with my husband and my God, and I feel very at home.

Thanks again for your thoughts, prayers, and even anger haha. They really made me feel better after a rough week. You guys are the best.

TTFN,
