Happy Friday, friends; this one hits different for me since I worked all week! I hope all of you had a great one; I want to hear about it at the end of this post, so stay tuned. Here are some favorite things and moments from this week...
It was a favorite to welcome the students back to school this week! I was so over all the meetings; we all were, and were thrilled to finally see all the smiling faces on Wednesday of this week. How sweet are these little chalk drawings that were there to welcome us all in that morning? I'm ready and prepared for year two of being a Crosswind Eagle!
Here's all the faculty and staff! I love one of our traditions: several times each year we have something called Legacy on the Loop, where we share a devotional and time of prayer. We started that way on Tuesday morning this week before the students entered the building the next day. I love belonging to a school like this one!
It was a favorite to swim each night after work this week while I dog sat for my friend.
And on that note, I am going to wrap this post up, friends. I'm writing this on Thursday, and I am exhausted in every sense of the word. I hope to be back here each day next week, but I'm releasing myself of that pressure while I readjust to working again. Grace upon grace, right? I'm trying to give myself plenty of that. Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Oh that pool looks so inviting... we really need a pool or even better access to a pool I don't have to clean and maintain!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing, and way cooler than I thought it would be. I didn't stay in it for long, and opted to go get in the hot tub instead. It was so nice!
DeleteLooks and sounds like you are off to an amazing start my friend. Wishing you a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's definitely had it's highs and lows, that is for sure, but not just in the school realm. It's been a hard week for Chris with him being so sick...he took a turn for the worse over the last few days.
DeleteI love the timing of another dogsit! Yes, take all the time you need to get your routine down. I remember feeling like I'd been run over by a steamroller. You know that total body deodorant commercial: "My legs, my back, my feet..." except I would sing it about my whole body being tired. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI did too; I wish I could have enjoyed it more than I actually did, but even a little was nice. You are so right about the steamroller! My whole body hurt yesterday when I got home, and I'm having to take ibuprofen when I wake up because I wake up sore. Ha!
DeleteHow great to have the students back this week, that is a fab photo of all the staff! The school does sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice, relaxed weekend with plenty of time to recharge!
I know what you mean...I'm over the meetings and ready to welcome students.
ReplyDeleteJust read Holly’s comment for prayers for you, I have no words to describe the shock to learn of the loss of your soulmate. May God wrap his arms around you in the coming days. I just do not understand why bad things happen to good people, and you dear, are one of the good ones. Sending all my love from Waco.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I just read on Memphis Bridges that you are dealing with some sad news. Even though we have never met, I enjoy your blog and have gotten so much inspiration from it. Please know that I am praying for you during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteJen, Your blog is the first one I read every morning after doing my Bible Study. You always provide such inspiration and words of encouragement and hope through your strong faith. When you didn't have your usual Monday post yesterday I assumed that you were probably still exhausted from the beginning days of school, but then after reading Holly and Marilyn's blog (who are also favorites) I could tell you were dealing with something heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you precious lady.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I am sending you love and prayers during this difficult time xo
