Goodness

This week has been so good! Not only has it been GORGEOUS (74 and sunny) but it's just been good.

I was freaking out a little with the possible moves and vented to my lovely friend Rebecca via email and gained some serious perspective from her husband when he replied to her "poor McKay" with "Poor McKay? You mean, poor yoga on the beach McKay, you mean poor walks on the beach with her dog during the week McKay!?!" Oh. right. thanks. :-)

Bible study this week was also good. It was the last day of our study of Esther and I've learned so much!! I guess naive me thought that I would just go on with the lessons God has already taught me and His teaching me something new and growing me in new ways came as a serious and annoying surprise "but I don't want to learn more about trust, God!" Cute, McKay, cute.

And yes, it was just at the time that I'd given up my struggle and faced my whatever-it-may-be future with confidence in God's providence that we found out that we'd only have to move once. Thanks for constantly maturing me, God!

It has also been really good to start working out again. I do think it keeps me a little saner to expend some energy on yoga and cardio. ALSO, the fitness instructor is from Okinawa!! Isn't that cool? It's certainly neat to get a perspective on our future home from a native! It's also helped me prepare for the accent and try to understand the nuances of the language.


Another good thing this week: we've gotten some new wives as the new baby b-coursers have started! As you all know, I LOVE meeting new people and welcoming them to the group! These ladies are great too - which makes it even more fun! I'm so glad to be a part of this Eagle community.

Still playing, and now I'm kind of good at crud! I was the last one in for one of our games and actually had some good moves! It's such a fun game that my motivation to get good is so I can keep playing longer! SO fun! The tournament is Friday so get EXCITED! We're all looking forward to a great time!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy came in the mail this week! Hooraay! The book club is reading it this time for something a little more lighthearted (I feel a little responsible for persuading them towards it) but I'm so excited to laugh! I love this book!

The commissary is good too. I left with some things not on the list this week, but so worth it! oreos, milk (for the oreos), dog bones, sun chips, and sushi. Love it.

Then, other good things this week: I got my oil changed, washed my car, drove with the top down, got a little sun, made cookies, made scones, drank tea, borrowed some movies from the library for free, washed clothes, experimented and made fried green tomatoes, chilled out at the farmers market sharing recipes for veggies, clipped coupons, and ate goldfish crackers. mmm.
