i have to start by sharing that i went to a yoga retreat this weekend. myself, logan and avery (my daughers) all went. we had an absolutely wonderfully, sweet time. i love so much about yoga. our instructor is a Godly lady who leads our meditation with scripture. one scripture passage that we meditated on this weekend was matthew 11:30. it clearly states that Christ's "yoke is easy and His burden is light." it reminded me that if anything is of God, it will not be a heavy burden for us to bear. He will bear the burden if there is one.
my mom met us at the retreat center with olivia. logan and avery drove seperately so it gave olivia and i some time alone to get acquainted. my mom and olivia's sister (lea) had described oliva to me since i personally had never spent any time with her. they must have done a wonderful job because olivia was exactly as i had expected. this was especially nice since i don't do well with surprises!!!!
when we came home, avery and i helped her unpacked her suitcases and get settled into her room.
i had informed olivia on our drive home from the retreat that i don't really cook. i think she was afraid that she might starve to death at my house. i could see the concern so we took off to the grocery store after unpacking. i wanted to let her pick out some things especially for her to eat. once we got to the hamburger helper isle and she said she liked those, we really started connecting.
next stop was joannes. no one can live in my home without being a frequent shopper at joannes. she picked out a latch hook rug. we came home and got right to work! it was a beautiful day so we sat outside in the gazebo. i crocheted while she worked on her latch hook.
we ordered pizza, went for a walk and started some R & R. she settled into her room and i finally got some time to talk to my hubby! if he is on his very best behavior he might just get a foot rub when i finish my blog tonight.
