friends

i am so blessed.
seriously.

i spent the morning at a playground with one of my oldest, dearest friends.

her hug when we greeted each other said more than all the words we spoke in the 2 hours we were together.
i love hugs like that!

katy lives in south carolina now...WAY too far away!

i treasure any time i get with her and this morning was so great!

7 of our 8 kids (rebekah was at school...)

i truly am SO blessed.

oh, and just an update:
i ate no candy.
drank more water.
less diet coke (just 1/2 a can!)
i was consistent with bailey and sawyer.
i was patient until 6 pm. WHY can't i last past 6 pm? that last hour is SO hard...
i did not always look my kids in the eyes.
i did not always think of others before myself.

see...those last 4 are WAY harder!

not beating myself up...baby steps and His grace and a new day tomorrow.
