It’s Monday, which means time for another Random Monday Thoughts! We have to actually work five days this week! I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping it goes fast! We’re super busy this week with games and stuff (prepping for Friday in Franklin County over on Social Impact)! So, what’s going through my mind today?
1. Weekends hardly seem long enough – I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my guys…whether it’s a weekend full of boys or one that is just T and I…I enjoy spending time with them. It’s because I enjoy this so much that the weekends never seem long enough.
2. S’mores are where it’s at – There is something about roasting a marshmallow and making a s’more that evokes feelings that nothing else does. For me, it’s not only the taste, but the memories of being a child. My favorite way to eat s’mores is with a marshmallow and two Fudge Stripe Cookies.
3. Beeds Lake is a hidden gem – I am lucky to live near Beeds Lake State Park and I determined this weekend that it really is a hidden gem in North Iowa! As we walked Nike to the spillway and back this weekend, I said to T “We really are lucky to live near such a gorgeous lake and facility! A lot of people would love to have a park like this only a couple miles from their home.” And I believe it! It’s beautiful and offers camping, picnic areas, trails to walk/hike, fishing, and a place to put your boat! Plus a beautiful historical rental shelter area! If you haven’t been, I encourage you to make a day trip!
4. I’m obsessed with all my blooming flowers – I love this time of year as the garden is growing and different flowers are blooming. Right now my miniature rose bush, rose bush, Irises, and daisies are blooming like crazy. I also have a few day lilies blooming and some others that I’m not sure what they are. I just love them all!
5. I’m blessed – I’m beyond blessed by God regardless if I deserve it or not. I have a wonderful home, amazing people (and dog) that fill it along with a great job (that I love) and a wonderful family! Life is good!
