Today will be one of my favorite days. First of all, we had that extra hour of sleep last night. That is always spectacular. Secondly, other than altar prep this morning at church and a meeting after, we had nothing on our calendar for today. It was chilly and overcast, and that made for a fabulous day of being home and cozy. Andrew made a huge crockpot of chili for dinner. The house is fairly picked up and other than the fact that I have to work tomorrow, it was nearly an ideal day.
Yesterday was busy as I made my weekly trip to my mom's house and then we were invited to the state parking to visit with some people we knew who were camping there. It was really a lovely evening. The weather was nice, the food was delicious, and the company was very pleasant.
Friday was a really lovely way to end the month of October. Andrew attended the first home playoff football game in decades (possibly ever) and it was a victory! He's really enjoyed the season. I was all set to be home and pass out a few pieces of candy...very few. However, Thomas and Lyndi wanted to come down. When I realized there wouldn't be much trick-or-treating happening, I asked if they still wanted to come. They said they would come down and watch Hallmark Christmas movies with me. I wasn't overly enthused, but it ended up being a wonderful evening. In fact, they slept over because we just kept watching! I'm so grateful they still want to hang out with us. I'm definitely starting this month of gratitude with a lot of gratefulness!
