Visit Conversion Diary for more quick takes!
{1} Memorial Day Weekend quietly, oh-so-politely snuck up on me, and I was so glad to learn just on Wednesday that I'll have a three day weekend! We have plans to go on a long hike, spend plenty of time reading in bed with the windows open, and will probably end up grilling with our friends at some point. I'd love to know what you're up to!
{2} Depending on how patient I'm feeling, I also aim to include mastering this into the next few days. My hair is layered, so it's fickle when it comes to French braids, never mind my serious lack of French-braiding skills in the first place, but I think it's finally long enough to give them another whirl. Here's hoping! P.S. Isn't Julia the prettiest?
{3} I ask your continued prayers for Andrew, our baby, and I as we prepare for our move next month. I've had a few job interviews that have gone well, and am now just trying to be patient with how they turn out. I think because I was unemployed for almost a year after we got married, finding work is a huge fear of mine, but I'm trying so hard not to let it define me. I get the sense that the Lord is drawing us out into the desert, as He already has so many times in this process (and He's also undeservedly, abundantly rewarded us so many times), and is asking me to humble myself and just give up every desire I have for control.
{4} I had a delicious bowl of corn chowder from Panera this week, and in the interest of not bankrupting us with daily lunches out, we found a recipe and made it at home. So, so summery and so easy!
{5} Alright, mamas. I need to find a maternity bathing suit. My go-tos for swimsuits, Lands End and J. Crew, have failed me, maybe because a lot of pregnant women seem to just wear bikinis. I'm a tankini girl through and through, pregnant or not, so help! I'm considering this suit, but I'm curious if there any other resources you love. I'd be willing to spend a little more to get a quality suit (I grew up on the swim team and know how destructo chlorine can be, even when you take care of your stuff), with the hope that it'll get me through multiple pregnancies, God willing, so recommend away!
{6} Speaking (well, sort of) of the reason I need a new suit, here's what 18 weeks looks like, hastily taken on the way to a birthday party!
{7} Trista and Tess are getting married tomorrow! I'm as giddy as if I were actually invited. Join me in lifting up Trista and Bryan and Tess and Frank in prayer, and look for a guest post from me on Tess' blog next week!
Here's to welcoming Summer! Have a good one!
