5 on Friday

 

Happy Friday! Trying to get back into blogging this year, starting with my 5 things on Friday. 

One

Eva got the game Candyland for Christmas and since then we've been playing every day. I am loving seeing her get into playing a game and she does a pretty good job playing considering she is only 2. When I convinced her that the whole point was to get to the castle she decided that we should probably play 5 times a day.

 Ryan and I have also been playing tons of the game Settlers of Catan. One of our friends got it for Christmas and we've been played it with him several evenings over the past 2 weeks. It may be nerdy, but we have so much fun playing! Also after loosing every single games for days I finally won the past 3 rounds that we've played!

One of the best part of the holidays is catching up with old friends. After Christmas we met up with some of my high school friends, some of whom I haven't seen in a decade. We've also gotten to hang out with many former students from our youth group who are home for the winter break.

Umm, yes that is a picture of a toilet, but no that's not one of my five things. Look down below the toilet and check out the new rug! I have been wanting a new rug for our guest bathroom for a while but it was always at the bottom of my list. I got a Target gift card for Christmas and found this one. Okay, this is actually the third one that I got in a series of exchanges - the first was too thick for the door to shut, the second slipped around too easily - but I love it the most of all 3! I had been looking in the bathroom rug section before and finally found this one in the home rug section. I love the color and design and it sure brightens up our little guest bath!

ANSWERED PRAYERS. I have been blessed to see God answer so many prayers lately, like having my cousin, Aaron, safely home from his tour in Afghanistan. God has answered prayers for friends finding places to live or jobs. Prayers for joy and communication. Prayers for our church. Seriously, so many prayers have been answered. Praising God today for all this!
