High Five For Friday!

Happy Friday to you!  Here are my top 5 from this week!

1) The floors have finally arrived!  Aside from our kitchen counters, this is the part of our remodel I have been looking forward to the most.  The installers say they should be finished this afternoon, which would be perfect since we have new furniture coming on Monday!  Seriously so excited!

              

2) We got our engagement pictures back!  You can see a video montage that our photographer Andy made for us on your phone here or on you computer here.  There are also additional photos here.

3) Our plants are doing so well.  Almost every single type of seed we planted has begun to sprout.  I've never grown a garden with such a variety and I really hope these all produce so I can spend more time in our yard and less time in the produce section of our grocery store.

4) The Neon run was last Saturday and my lungs totally held up, it was awesome!  There was a moment where we had to run through a fog tent and I was worried, but my lungs didn't let me down.  The race was pretty disorganized so I don't have a time but if I had to estimate I'd say we ran in in about 27-28 minutes, not too bad for a girl with Asthma. It was really fun to get out and run with my co-workers and even more fun that Aaron was able to come and support me.

5) This dog. I swear.  Maya & Marley have been spending their days at my Brother and Sister-in-Law's house while construction has gone on at ours.  My brother has two Golden Retrievers so our girls have enjoyed the play time.  Maya is weirdo, she always has been.  She loves to lick your arm and if you are petting her she has to have a paw on you the whole time.  Well last night, she was so tired from playing the last two days that she fell asleep sitting like a rabbit while I was petting her.  I love her.....and the much less weird Marley too.

Thank you to those who have prayed, and continue to pray, for our nephew's friend Parker as he fights to conquer cancer.  He began his first 5 day round of chemo this week.  There is a support page set up on Facebook that can be accessed through this link: Team Parker for Life.  I wanted to get this information out to as many people as I can so that the number of people praying for Parker can grow. If you are praying for him please "like" the page so he can watch his support grow and share with your friends too! For those of you who have sent e-mails asking about things that can be done to help the family, a fundraiser has been set up through this link: Prayers for Parker.  The donations here will make it possible for his parents to stay with him throughout his entire battle.  No amount is too small and I know every last penny is greatly appreciated! #prayersforparker
