TGIF, y'all!

Thanks so much for all your sweet comments on my last post. I am so excited to finally have reached that 25 pounds lost mark. It took me FOREVER (as you know if you read my weightloss blog), but it has been SO worth it. I still have about four more "25 pounds lost" to go, but I'll get there! I'm not in a rush! 

But seriously. I did that collage on the spur of the moment a couple days ago, and i was overwhelmed by the response i got here and on facebook. Y'all made my day! 

Can't wait to do another set of pictures. May it not take so long this time! Ha!

So, what else is new?

This weekend, I will - 

1.) Have breakfast at the in-laws

2.) Celebrate my MIL's birthday. I just love her. She is wonderful.

3.) Have lunch with my sister & our daddy! Yay!

4.) Work "Queen of Bingo" at the Manship Theatre. This show is HILARIOUS.

5.) Go to church. :)

6.) Attend a Gender Reveal Baby Shower. 

7.) Meet blogger Lindsey for the first time! Yay!

And... that pretty much sums up my weekend!

A week from today is my birthday. :) What shall I do?!

About Lent - I decided to give up sweets. (P.S. I've never participated in Lent before. But I decided to this year.) So far, so good. Also, my favorite speaker, Angela Thomas, was talking on her facebook about how Lent is not just a time of giving UP, but of GIVING. Giving to others. I was trying to think of something I could give, when my friend Laura shared this idea with me. She might have known it'd be right up my alley! What I am doing is writing a note of encouragement to a different person each day for 40 days. I am SO excited to do this & have done it faithfully each day so far. I have always been a card-writer, but it's been awhile. Thanks for the idea, Laura! Everyday I talk with another person who is hurting and i am so excited to be the person to speak some encouragement & love into their life!

What are you doing this weekend?

Happy weekend to you!
