We started the week out with some friends and a trip to Glow Golf. -Indoor miniature blacklight golf-. The kind where you are embarassed to look at the other person because your eyeballs look freaky and every speck of dandruff or fuzz can be see all over your shirt.
My new friend Tamera & I took our kiddos out to lunch afterwards and then spent the rest of the afternoon at her house hanging out. In a move like this...that first new friend is priceless. She has sincerely become a kindred buddy already!
Wednesday/Thursday we helped out in a VBS for a community that is impoverished. Although I really wonder if they would consider themselves that way. It's hard to believe there are places in this country where people have no electricity or running water...but it's out there. I will say that in 2 short days I absolutely fell in love with a couple little 3rd grade girls who I already miss and wished I could take home. It was a very special experience.
Wed./Thurs. nights have been moments I treasure deep in my big mama's heart. I had "date nights" with both my boys (separately). It was precious, memorable and so very needed. We've gone through a lot of change the past several months. With school a few weeks away, I really wanted to spend some time loving on them, getting them set for schools supplies, clothes, etc. and most importantly to spend time talking with them. It's no surprise I am once again reminded of what wonderful, beautiful, fun, kind-hearted, and loving little boys I have. But this date night thing is something I plan to do more of. They soaked it up just as much as I did.
Our weekend plans are still up in the air. There's talk of a trip to Galveston which we hope to take before things get back to crazy. But I have a feeling anywhere we land as a family the next couple of days will be wonderfully special. It has been all week!
