Five on Friday

This week has pretty much taken it out of me, so I couldn't be happier to see the weekend upon us! I have a random collection of thoughts this week, as I link up with Darci {and friends} and Lauren Elizabeth.

{one} I've decided to have one decorating project a month. We've lived in our new home for almost a year now, but there are still places and walls needing decorated. So, I thought one project a month would be doable and not too overwhelming. I have some ideas floating around in my head for a wall for Collin and Emma. It will include something like this for both of them.

{two} If you follow me on Instagram, you know yesterday was Collin's first day of swim classes. He is a solid swimmer for such a young guy. My parent's have a wonderful pool that we practically live in each summer, so I kid you not that Collin is like a fish! And now we have a pool, too, so I know he's going to be in the water even more. And because of his passion, really, for swimming, we thought we'd put him in some classes that ultimately lead to a junior swim team. To say the least, he's pumped and we're so excited watching him be so passionate about something!

 

{three} Also at swim classes yesterday, I met a mommy friend! I love when that happens, especially when you discover you have so much in common...just within a short 30 minutes. I'm looking forward to chatting with her more each week at swim classes.

 

 

{four} This week has been full of surprises from unexpected (expensive) home repairs, to a health scare with my mom. Yet, despite these things, I have felt the peace of the Lord like never before. Sure, I've freaked out a bit about what's going on, but when I calm myself down and really sit quiet, I'm overwhelmed with the peace that He's with me, none of this takes Him by surprise and if I just focus on Him, everything will fall into place. Praise the Lord!

{five} In honor of Mia's brother, Christian, I am participating in my first 5k. It's the Color Run, so it'll no doubt be fun! But for this girl who isn't a runner, I'm determined to give it my best running shot.

 

 

I hope you have a good weekend! Do you have any exciting plans? Nothing too exciting happening for us this weekend, which is ok with me. :)
