January 28

This morning was a work morning. I got to hang with my buddy Peyton. We made Welcome Home signs for his dad who returns from duty on Wednesday. We had so much fun. Peyton really got into making those signs. I think we used every single paint color in stock! Watching him gave me JOY!

Tonight was our first Mom's Night Out for the spring. What fun! I really enjoy the atmosphere and the girls at my table. I am so JOYful that my friend Jen is able to attend this semester with me! I am so excited that our topic for the semester is JOY! How perfect!

A couple of months ago I was very blessed to be able to reunite with an old friend. A girl I haven't seen in YEARS! But a very sweet person who I have always gotten along with.
Today Abigail and I went to visit Megan and her son Albie. So much fun! We had a blast. It's so much fun to catch up with one another. Being with Megan and Albie brought Abigail and myself JOY!

January 24

I love waking up on a Sunday morning and starting my week with church. The whole experience each Sunday and how God works is really the source of my JOY throughout the week. I know that my JOY comes from Him and without Him I probably would not be able to write each day about the JOY's that I am finding.

JOY was leaving Abigail in the nursery with NO tears! JOY was worshipping next to my husband! JOY was exiting church feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on this week!

When my Saturday's begin with a morning trip to Columbus I know it's going to be a great weekend! What better way to feel JOY than when your eating an amazing donut with some delicious Dunkin Donuts coffee?

I was really looking forward to tonight. I was able to spend it with some very special people and it was so nice. I would have to say one of the things I miss most since being a momma is time spent with my girlfriends. We have been friends for such a long time. It's nice to have a chance to reconnect. Being with them brought me tons of JOY tonight!

I love when my days start out with friends and breakfast! JOY! I got to be with one of my favorite people and her son this morning. We had a wonderful breakfast and were able to catch up.

I feel so JOYful each day that Anna comes home from school with new things that she is learning. I love listening to her read! Much JOY!

More JOY when a friend came over to help with our budget. As much as we like to give him a hard time about it I know that soon it will all pay off! THAT in and of itself will be a JOYous occasion!
