Memorial Day weekend was one of those weekends when I felt
like I was moving a million miles a minute. We had event after event, plan
after plan, errand after errand, picnic after picnic, friend after friend. And
they were all really lovely little moments. So many good friends, new and old,
always make for a blessed weekend, but then it just felt like girlfriend needed
a rest.
But now that I’m cozied up on the couch with a bag of
popcorn and the season finale of Revenge, I’m thinking about what a happy
weekend it was. Happy hour at Mad Mex, awesome tickets at the Pirates game,
fireworks, cocktails, animals at the zoo (check out the pictures below!), fireworks,
worship, picnics and finally a movie curled up in bed. Even though I spent a
good portion of Monday night moaning about how tired I was even though I we
were closing out a long weekend, I’m so glad that I got to spend the weekend
with so many of the most important people in my life. As often as I wish for a
vacation day or a morning on the couch watching daytime TV or a spa day or just
a moment alone, I am so blessed to have a life so full of beautiful friends and
opportunities to see them frequently and enjoy them wholly.
If nothing else, this weekend is absolutely flying by. After
driving back to DC Tuesday morning, I went right into preparations for a work
event that evening. Today was a day full of catch-up, and tomorrow is already
Thursday! This weekend my sweet cousins are coming to visit, and I absolutely
cannot wait to see them. These two ladies are the sisters I never had, and I
love how we lift each other up and always spend the whole weekend celebrating something
or other. And now that the youngest is 21, we can really celebrate!!
Wishing all of you a happy, happy weekend!
To long weekends with lots of joy,
Lia
