busy week, lack of sleep!

firs things first.  

the other week i BIFFED it down the stairs in my house.

i mean seriously had a huge bruise on my butt.

and it hurt for days.

as if that isn't enough, i proceeded to show it to rory one day cause he asked. 

like, really ann?? oy vey.

last weekend i got a call on the way to bible study that abbey, brian and the boys were at the cols zoo.

they asked if i wanted to join so i turned around right then and there and left!

i spent the day with them and boy was it so needed.

poor peyton was miserable and didn't feel well.

but it was so great to see the boys--they're so big!

and to have some time to chat with abbey about life.

we even went to the water park which is always my favorite.

i got to meet a lot of brian's family and they were all super sweet!

i took a picture with peyton but in one of them my top is all whacked up, and in the other i look demonic cause of my eye angle.

better luck next time haha.

last night i spent too many hours, and too much money, at easton with tyler.

i've been struggling a lot with the friendship.  not feeling like a priority, and even thinking that i'm done wanting to be a priority.

still working through all that and trying to make sure it's not just my stubbornness or lack of confidence.

but it was great to see her for the first time in a looong time.

and while i spent too much, it was good to get some stuff for Haiti.

which, btw, i leave for one month from today. YAY!

i talked to brenda on the phone the other night and it made me so excited to go.

she was so real with me about the trip, and is someone who tells it how it is.

i love it when people are like that.  and i know we're going to get along just fine!

and tonight?  i ran 5 miles with mitch.

it was a great conversation and just friendly.

we even talked about the Lord.

it was a beautiful night and i am glad i got a run in!

due to all this activity, i've been lack of sleep lately.

and each day is getting a bit harder!

and i've been dealing with some sinus stuff which has given me a headache and sore throat.

luckily, the worst of it is hopefully over and i'm on the mend.

i'm thankful for my health, and my jobs!

and the ability to run with the legs i have.

and i'm thankful it is bed time.  and that tomorrow is thursday.  meaning the week is almost over!
