Freedom

My man is working somewhat strange hours this weekend because of the retreat that's coming in. So he's home right now, and I'm at his office - WITHOUT a baby! It's glorious. I love my little buddy SO MUCH, but time without looking over my shoulder - making sure he's not going to fall off of something or eat a bug (which he tried to do today) - is QUITE nice! So, I'm sitting at Beau's desk blogging and checking my email via SATELLITE...vs. DIAL-UP! MUCH BETTER! =) And I've got a great view to top it all off - the lake down below us, trees all around us that are changing color and losing their leaves, and a blue sky. It's a nice moment. Ta-ta.

Today

Today was a good day. We have a group coming this weekend (a few of them came tonight), so Beau started his day bright and early, and Asher and I did too. We all went into town this morning after we determined how many blankets, sheets, etc. we needed to buy to make the beds half-way inviting for the ladies this weekend. (We are in need of a major revamp when it comes to linens...and facilities in general.) But first, before we started our errands, we made a stop at McDonald's, and while Beau waited on our breakfast, Asher and I played on the indoor playground. It's the first time he had ever done that, and it was fun watching him figure it out. The rest of the afternoon was pretty normal - lunch, playing, laundry, dishes, etc. Then this evening we made lots of beds and did a little last minute sweeping, since there are always new dead bugs everywhere. =) We even lit a candle for the ladies who were arriving tonight. It was fun to put our hospitality into practice. We've got a long way to go here, but even a little bit of the dream that God has put into our hearts being realized is kind of exciting.

I'm way behind on reading "my" blogs (Mom, sisters, and friends), but there just doesn't seem to be enough time in my days. Oh, what to do? =)

Oh, one more fun thing...I love staying in hotels. (a silly little bit of Sara trivia) Beau has a convention that he has to be at Monday and Tuesday, so we're going to go to Oklahoma City on Sunday and stay until Tuesday. I'm excited about our little "adventure". It's just a regular hotel, but for some reason I just love it. =) And there's a hot tub. Maybe I'll get to relax in it for at least twenty minutes or so.

That's all my "interesting" news for now. Good night fellow bloggers. =)
