What a beautiful day! It's sunny, 60 and winds are keeping it under 10 mph out of the SW- couldn't ask for much more on a spring day! We are especially thankful for nice weather on this weekend as we think about and celebrate Christ's death and resurrection!
Last night we had the chance to go to Good Friday service with Ryan's family and play some good ol' Farkel in their hotel room. Dad Boone was frustrated to lose (well, second to last loser anyway if you count me:) but he sure was glad to be the big winner when the boys went golfing today! It was the perfect day for Ryan to use his new Cleveland wedge- he admitted that his best shots were when he used his new wedge so now he claims that the club has already paid for itself as it helped achieve at least two birdies!
Mom Boone, Mom and I got to spend time in West Glen shopping center- which is WAY out of our budget! We talked, walked and enjoyed coffee at Carabou- everything the guys hate to do, so we definitely enjoyed every second of our girlie adventure ;) We decided that it's almost more fun to look at the people that can actually afford to shop there rather than actually shopping ourselves.
We enjoyed lunch at Mimi's and had the quarterback of waitresses- Jaclyn :) We were all stuffed, once again!
Tonight we are looking forward to spending time with our friends: Phipps, Southmayds and Barnes. It's been too long to remember when the last time was that we all got together.
It was really nice for Ryan (and me) that he finally got a full Saturday off from work- he didn't even do any work from home! He got to have some real Saturday fun at last and we are looking forward to more Saturdays like that this summer!
Tomorrow we all have to be up super early to get to church by 6:45- Ryan is running sound for the Easter service, I am singing in the choir, and Parker is going to make sure everyone in the nursery is having fun :)
Happy Easter! I always think that sounds a little corny becasue Easter is not about "being happy" but rather celebrating our living saviour! It was great to worship with the entire family in Des Moines on Friday. It doesn't matter if it is in Sioux Cetner, Des Moines or Hawaii if we are worshipping together as a family it is always special to Mom and I.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see Parker again too! He is just the cutist:) We miss his smile already!
Also nice to see the mention in your post about my extraordinary golf on Saturday. I don't have many opportunities to beat Ryan anymore so when I do I have to gloat a little - in a subtle way of course.
Have a great week! Dad B.
