Happy Friday my friends! What a week it has been. It's final week in my world so therefore when my laptop has been opened it's been all school related. That makes for one lonnnng week, oh I long for the days of no more case studies, practice psych evaluations, and exams. I was able to have some fun this week. The hubs is pretty good about dragging me away from my computer when he can tell I need a break.
1)We celebrated Cinco De Mayo Monday evening by eating an early dinner at our favorite spot La Cocina. We attempted to beat the crowds, it's crazy how our celebrations have changed. Can't lie and say I didn't miss my margarita, but oh well! Next year! For your viewing pleasure Cinco De Mayo three years ago. Also a few nights before college graduation. I present Derik and Sarah the dating years! :)
2) Wednesday my sweet daddy had a doctors appointment at Duke. Y'all let me just say that God is good. We all went into this appointment not knowing what to expect exactly. With much anticipation and prayers my mom, dad, and sister went to meet with the specialist and got some questions answered. We all decided toting this hormonal pregnant one along probably wouldn't be the best since I just look at my dad and cry. Chemo is a powerful drug my dad and I now weigh the same amount. But it's doing it's job and the doctor is pleased. He'll have a procedure at the end of July if all is well with his heart and we're in fervent prayer that it will be the beginning of the road to remission! God's hand has been in it all from the beginning and that is even more evident now. We serve a mighty God y'all.
3) Y'all Wednesday I decided to play domestic goddess. I made four cheese gluten free ravioli, GF garlic bread, and funfetti cupcakes. Did I take a single picture? Surely not. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Pinterest for the win on the gluten free ravioli. Although the funfetti cupcakes were not GF I made them more selfishly for me than the GF eating hubs. Sorry I'm not sorry? :)
4) This time next week we'll be hopefully finishing up our 20 week anatomy scan. We'll finally know what this sweet bean is growing in my belly. We'll also get a chance to look at all the organs and make sure everything is growing and developing properly. While I'm anxious to find out gender obviously, babe's health is the by far first and foremost on the list of importance for this appointment. Will I be able to sleep a wink Thursday night? Probably not. :) I'll just have to remind myself to not watch all my shows at other times throughout the week so I'll have something to occupy my mind!
5) Wrapping up this weeks favorites with two shout outs to the best momma's I know! I'm so thankful to have my sweet mama that always has a listening ear, comforting words, and shares the same obsession for Christmas as I do. She's a God fearing woman who leads by example. I'm thankful for the friendship we have formed over the past few years. I only hope to be half the mama she is!
My other mom became officially my second mom almost a year ago. (Next Sunday a year ago) I'm so thankful for my mother in law! She's always taking care of us and everyone really. She's a wonderful mother, nana, wife, and nurse. She's a lady that wears many different hats often simultaneously. I'm not sure how she does all that she does do! She loves the Lord at that is quite clearly shown by the way she cares for others. I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law!
