Weekend Wrap Up!

Our weekend started off by celebrating Marc's best friend from high school's retirement from the Army.

Saturday we took Marc's aunt to what has become our favorite spot to take family and friends to celebrate her 81st birthday!

Later that day we made a stop at one of our local thrift stores for their 50% off sale. I got both of these end tables for $15.00! I can't wait to see how they look after I clean them up, give them a light sanding, a coat of primer and some black paint! I'll probably give them a distressed look when I'm done. I will post pictures when I am done. Just another project to add to my long list of projects for 2012!

I picked up a few extra goodies for my valentines tablescape and started on the diningroom. The heart chargers are from Target and only cost $2.50 each. The towels that I am using for napkins also came from there.

I can pretty much guarantee the diningroom table will change a few times in between now and Valentines Day! A few of the items will be used again at our churches Valentines dinner next month.

We had a really good service on Sunday, and that afternoon Marc installed new officers for 2012. Our church calendar is full over the coming weeks. Including the start of this years events for our Men's and Women's ministry. And next month we will host our first Marriage ministry event of the year.

Today ends my 21 day fast. I have to say at times it was very challenging but I'm very proud of myself and the fact that I held in there as long as I did. Over the next couple of days I plan to share some of my favorite recipes, some of the things I learned about myself and some of our plans for Blended Souls which is a big part of why I participated again this year!

Speaking of pastor wives....my friends over at Leading and Loving It start their Just One Virtual Conference for pastor wives and women in ministry today. You can get all of the info about the conference here . I guarantee you will be blessed.
