"Currently"

Thank you to the majorly talented emily for this neato idea....

CURRENTLY:

wearing~my favorite capri jeans from Nordstrom, a Banana Republic black shirt I have had for seriously 10+ years, my new favorite wedge taupy colored shoes that were $15  at Old Navy and so so so comfortable, my new gold hoopy earrings that Teri helped me pick out at JCrew, and my Loved gold necklace that the kiddos gave me for Mother's Day

note: no picture needed, wink wink

reading~about David in the Bible~A Man After God's Own Heart, yet an adulterer, murderer, an overall sinner, but a lover of God, forgiven, humbled, forever affected by his behaviors, loved by God

loving~my precious children who made breakfast today! Restaurant Style

the cooks and servers

the hungry customer

after being at the lodge and all of us working, Mary kept our waters full ALWAYS

with water she had chilled

then Thomas did the dishes....sigh....lots of water and soap...everywhere

enjoying~ my cute little topiary tree that sits on our breakfast table, enjoyed my

annual all day trip with Teri to La Jolla to shop

needing~ to thank sweet Maggie for the awesome nonfat latte that she brought to my door this am and for inspiring me to get back to boot camp so my booty can be kicked into shape

planning~ on making lots more pesto to store away for later...this was the yummiest lunch Myrna and I had the day we made several batches of pesto together....home grown tomatoes with pesto and fresh mozzerella...oh me oh my!

doing~ lots of swimming or rather the kiddos are doing lots of swimming, I am doing lots of yard maintenance and sitting on my comfortable patio sipping citrus, mint ice water

and catching up on magazine reading

wishing~ I had more TIME.....time to garden, read, study His Word in depth, alone time, time with my kids, quiet time, time with friends, time to sort out the thoughts in my head, time to just listen.

Mary and I planted some fresh pots of flowers

these white ones  were brought all the way from Montana

the above container I found at a little antique store on Flathead Lake when mom and I were on our trip

its so fun and helps block the ugly steps!

praying for~ my children, friends who are hurting, peace, direction, and hope

love my lizzy, oh what joy she is!

excited about~ Katherine coming home this week, oh how I miss her!  Lizzy doesn't like being the oldest or making her own bed and we all miss her fun spirit in the house!

dreaming of~ being back in Montana, oh the beauty, the peace, the green everything, the sounds of nature, the carefreeness of the kids, and the slowness of life

So here are the "currents" of my life....until next time!
