1. Calamine lotion, and lots of it. It even makes me a happy shade of pink, and happy thoughts can go a long way right now.
2. Receiving my Prophets midterm grade. All I have to say is... dude.
3. The husband made scones from scratch.
4. Starting my Prophets paper, more than a week before it's due. I'm hoping to finish it to enjoy Andrew's birthday party.
5. Getting new cross stitch projects for the summer. Babies are on their way (not mine, might I add), and I want to make them blankets!
6. Being asked to be an assisting minister at church. My first attempt is tomorrow... I've just been praying to God that I perform as an act of worship in His name.
7. My Early Church History study group going out for frozen yogurt. They said they didn't help me study for my Prophets midterm, but they sure wanted to help me celebrate my grade.
8. Laughing a lot with my husband and my brother on our theories on the space-time continuum. It's been great entertainment.
9. Getting to see one of my childhood friends perform at the El Rey Theater, and open for the Indigo Girls to boot! I'm so awed by Matt's musical talent, and it's wonderful that he gets to do something he truly loves.
10. Acquiring a hummingbird squatter. He likes to sit on the tomato cage, and normally sits there all day long.
11. Cherry season. I actually saw Rainier cherries at the grocery store, and that made me smile.

I'm back!
Life has run away with me a little bit. It's been an odd week, but with many good points.
1. Getting to see old friends on both Friday AND Saturday. Friday was spent at the Howard Hughes Center, eating dinner at Islands, and watching "Star Trek" in the Director's Lounge, which was pretty neat. Saturday was spent catching up, playing board games, and eating insane amounts of food.
2. New life. Lauren had a baby boy this week. Manika had a baby girl. Marissa found out she's having a boy. Just...wow.
3. Passing my Early Church History midterm. I felt ridiculously schooled after the test. When the professor announced he had our grades, my heart leapt into my throat. When I got my grade, I about did cartwheels out of the classroom, hugging members of my study group. I guess you could say I was a tad excited.
4. I made tiramisu, and it was wonderful. Unhealthy, but wonderful. And everyone who ate it lived to tell the tale.
5. Assistant minister training at church. I was filled with a great amount of awe and fear standing on the other side of the altar. I'm still questioning if I can handle this, and I'm still trying to figure out what "this" is.
6. My in-laws are coming to town for my first sermon and 30th birthday.
7. The husband made pizza from scratch. Well, at least the crust and the sauce. He didn't make his own mozzarella, even though he does have a recipe to do so.

Midweek Graces
1. Painting my fingernails and toenails. They are nice, bright, and fairly obnoxious pink.
2. Finally finding marscapone cheese for the tiramisu I'm making for Saturday's game day. I've been to three different stores looking for this cheese!
3. Taco salad for dinner. So easy to make, and so yummy!
4. Getting back in touch with an old friend from SC. I'm happy to know he and his wife are doing well and are going to be parents in July!
5. Taking a slow day. I did get classwork and reading done, but most of the day was spent as "me" time, which was a nice change of pace.

Miss you, Steve.
I'm thankful for my friendship with Steve. Today would have been his 30th birthday.

Sunday.
1. The sermon at church this morning, given by a missionary pilot who's based in Bangladesh. His words hit a little close to home concerning love for God and service. I could relate too well. Especially with turning the lives of surrounding family members upside down.
2. Finding yet another birthday present for another friend. Lots of May birthdays!!!
3. A church BBQ. The husband won a toy in a drawing. We were sent home with cucumber tomato salad after the BBQ was over. And the cat's out of the bag at church; more people know the husband and I won't be with our beloved congregation for long...
4. Getting to spend a fairly relaxing weekend with the husband. It's been grand!
5. Sitting with the husband and Emily in church.

Beachy Saturday

2. Going on a random outing to wander around Venice Beach and Santa Monica.
3. Seeing a lot of baby ducks swimming around the Venice canals.

A belated Friday
1. Lunch with Joyce in Burbank.
2. A lazy half day where schoolwork did not exist.
3. Walking to get dessert, and while walking by church, running into Matt, who invited us into Youth Night for a bit. Wonderfully random.
4. Movie night with Ben & Jerry's Cake Batter Ice Cream.
5. Watching the last five minutes of "Dollhouse." The husband bears a strikingly strange resemblance to Alan Tudyk...
