Weekend Update!

Hey, friends and fam!  Last night was a Tulsa trip for dinner with the Wilsons and the Fultons!  A tiny bit of rain and lightning on my drive home, but nothing as terrible as they predicted, so no regrets on my end!  The Wilsons were kind enough to host us - Sarah had an extra-stressful week, and it was good to be able to talk through it with the adults while the kids played on the bouncy house outside.  Here's our happy group pic at the end of the night. ❤

The kids waiting on their friend, Kate, to arrive + Chettles grilling awesome steaks for us!!

The cutest little besties... both in purple dresses and silver "click-clack" heels! =)

Chet with Karli's famous parmesan/jalapeno focaccia bread + Karli sautéing the asparagus... the pics are purely bc I was excited about them both having fun aprons for cooking!! =)

Steaks, mac n' cheese, veggies, potatoes, and bread (thanks again, Wilson fam!!) + everyone watching the International Space Station pass by overhead, thanks to Karli signing up for location-based text alerts (and now I have too.)

Group pic minus Kate and Parker + a bright and cheery assortment of Poppi sodas - better than expected + the kids having Cookie Two Step ice cream brought by the Fultons!  Mom also made brickle bars for us, so we were well stocked on dinner and desserts! =)

Rach texted me on Friday that her hand was cramping from all the note-taking... I applaud her studious efforts and her colorful notes - hopefully this will pay off and help her remember it all for the CPC certification test!

Her hands didn't get much of a break, as she's been busy painting then starting the process of crystalling my graduation cap most of this weekend... get excited!!  My parents shan't have trouble finding me in the crowd. lol


I told her the term "crystalling" in her text made me think of Winnie the Bish and his puzzling song! lol

I've spent part of this weekend working on another creative project, building my counseling website with Wix and Storyline... still an unpublished work in progress that needs extra "tweaking" (#youvegotmail), but it's a fun and uplifting project for me!  Compass Counseling: Empowering Women to Move Forward with Hope. ❤ Yay!

So my weekend mostly consisted of website work + the Tulsa trip + a lengthy jog yesterday morning, and of course, Harry Potter audiobooks and Cobra Kai! lol

That show is a treat - funnier characters and more redemptive storylines than I expected.  I went down a rabbit hole reading entertaining Reddit threads and Googling the actors... I had no idea Miguel was Victor from Parenthood and Sam was the first daughter in Scandal!

A presh duck couple stopping by Mom and Dad's pool for a spring swim - I freaking love it! =)

And finally, a meme from Chet Lee that made me laugh!

That's all for tonight.  Hope it's an excellent week ahead!
