Sunday Currently vol {13}

Rejoicing: That I was hired to coach at the Figure Skating Club! It took quite a while to hear the final decision from them but it was worth the wait! I am so excited to be finally starting another one of my dreams in figure skating!

Reading: The US Figure Skating Rule Book! I had to take a few tests to be recognized by US Figure Skating as a coach. I can hardly believe it is finally happening!

Writing: Nothing! I'm a terrible writer.....yet I have a blog. Hmm haha

Thinking: I need to blog more this week! I have so much to catch up on! I think that I will finally have time to sit down and blog this week!

Praying for: For sunshine and heat! We have only had one good day in the pool this summer! It's almost July! What's up summer?

Thankful: For the gorgeous sunshine we had today! And the wonderful time spent with my niece and nephew!:) They are so darn cute!

Hoping: Really really hoping my knee starts feeling better so I can get back to my running! Ugh I hate injuries! But at least it doesn't hurt to go biking!

Loving: The awesome bike trails I am finding around town! Hay there's a positive from my sore knee!

Needing: A massage like always! I need one daily!

Anticipating: The big Fourth of July party this weekend and my sweet friend who is coming to MN! I cannot wait, just get here already!

Dreaming: Of happy care free days to come during my week off!

Grateful Friday

Happy Friday! 

I am so grateful for the two days of sunshine we had this week! It has been such a rainy cold spring and beginning of summer. Any day when there is sunshine I can't get enough of the rays! 

Some pretty shots from my long walk/run last night! 

 SUN!

 I love the trails I get to run on!

 God is so good! Such beautiful creation that we are surrounded by!

Pretty wild flowers! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Lately at the Theatre!

Well like I said here lately life has been busy! Work is none stop and it seemed like all of my evenings were busy too! It always seems to happen like that doesn't it?! Everything happens at once! Work luckily is slowing down and we are fully staffed again! Thank goodness!  

Here is a bit of what I've been up to lately. The fun stuff anyway, I'll leave out: the early mornings, the days when I didn't even have time to pee, or eat lunch at work, and when I would get home so tired I skipped supper because it was too much work to cook let alone take my free time to get groceries!

Back in May my Mom and I took these two adorable girls out to dinner and to the Cinderella Ballet!

What a fun night of dress up, giggles, excitement and Grandma and Auntie time!

The following day my Dad Mom and I headed to Minneapolis to see C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters! Oh my gosh the show was excellent! It followed the book exactly, and they took the words directly from the book for their script. 

Afterward we headed to a fancy restaurant and enjoyed some delicious food and drinks! This made up for my lack of cooking during the week;)

Mojito that was delicious! Yum I want one right now! 

Just a couple weekends ago my Mom and I headed to the play "A Doll's House" at the Commonweal Theatre, an excellent show! IT's our favorite theatre!  

And of course we stopped at Four Daughters on the way for some delicious sangria and yummy food!

 Currently

Reading: The Horse and His Boy from C.S. Lewis Chronicle's of Narnia. I needed something fun and easy to read, with how busy I've been!  Then i'll get back to my Charles Dickens Tale of Two Cities.

Writing: I just got done writing my essay for black belt testing! Who knew you had to write an essay for black belt testing?! I didn't! Writing papers has always been my least favorite thing to do, so it was probably a good thing I didn't know before I started TKD;) I am so glad it's done though!

    

Thinking: That I should stop thinking so much and just do it! Buy the plane ticket already and go for it! What am I waiting for?!

Rejoicing: In any tiny bit of sunshine we get!  

Praying: Always praying for so many things! Lately that I do God's will in everything that I do, and that I trust in Him and His timing! And for our Country!

Thankful for: The chair massage I had on Friday!! It was only fifteen minutes but it helped so much! That was much needed and my headache went away! 

Hoping: That black belt testing goes really well! That I am not nervous and that I can be calm in the moment!  

Loving: That I didn't have any plans for the weekend! And the super fun phone call with my five year old niece! She is so darn cute! 

Needing: SUNSHINE and lots of it! This is the most bazaar spring and summer ever! I am getting so tired of the gray rainy days!

Anticipating: Black belt testing and my weeks vacation coming up! I cannot wait! A dear friend is coming and I hope it is hot out by then! Long afternoons by the pool, yummy drinks, early morning runs, theatre going, catching up and so much more!

Have a blessed Sunday!
