A Peek Into Our Week

On Sunday, we enjoyed wonderful worship services at church and the annual Chick-fil-A party.

On Monday, I had a much needed hair appointment. I'm growing my hair out from the pixie and my highlights were gone so my hair had become very unmanageable!! I just got it trimmed to remove the dead ends to help it grow and I also got highlights. Color makes a huge difference in my hair....it really helps it a lot! I enjoyed some alone time at Walmart! Luke got a call today to schedule his knee surgery for Tuesday, January 31st. We watched the movie, "Breaking the Press."

Tuesday was Landen's second birthday!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by....so crazy!! We enjoyed celebrating his day! We watched the movie, "Courageous" with my parents that night! Wow!! What an incredible movie!

I had a rough morning Wednesday that caused me to do a lot of thinking....this is not typical for my blog but I just want to be transparent. I've been feeling really overwhelmed lately and as a perfectionist I guess I've been aiming for perfection but I didn't realize it until today and it hit me that perfect does not exist. Now, I knew that before this day, however, it just hit me unlike it ever has before that I've been trying to do something that is not possible! I've been trying to be the perfect wife, mom, person and keep a perfectly clean house and keep my life in perfect order. No wonder I feel so overwhelmed! This is something I'm still processing. I may share more in another post!

Anyway, Thursday as we were getting ready to take Brayden to school I got a call from one of Brayden's teachers that the church and school had been broken into overnight and that they were without power so they would not be having school that day. I hate that happened but we enjoyed having Brayden home that morning.

On Friday, I made final preparations for Landen's birthday party and picked up the last minute items. That afternoon I had a pedicure with a great friend! I haven't done that in forever and really enjoyed some girl time! ;) That night we decorated for the party!

Saturday was an extremely busy day! It started with Brayden's basketball game! He had his own fan section at this game! Due to Landen's birthday party several family members came in early to see Brayden play! He played really well too with 2 assist!! After the game we went to our niece's birthday party! After her party we came back for Landen's party! Needless to say we went to bed early this night! It was a fun day though!

*More to come about Landen's 2nd Birthday!!! =)
