While he was gone, I took advantage of his absence to have a girls weekend, and most of the ladies from my community group gathered for an "Anne of Green Gables" marathon. We watched the first 4 hours on Friday night and the second 4 hours Saturday morning/afternoon. It was SO much fun! I hadn't seen the movies in a couple of years, even though we've tried to do Anne marathons every year. It was awesome to watch them again and a lot of fun to hang out with friends.
As you know, the brother and I share a tiny apartment, and on Friday night, there were 9 of us crammed in to watch Anne. I took a picture because I thought it was hilarious. It's a little blurry, but at least you get the idea!
One of the ladies brought raspberry cordial - she found the official Anne recipe and made it! It was yummy!
So it was a fun weekend, and I'm trying not to stress out about the fact that it is almost over and I'll have to go back to work tomorrow. I could use a couple of weeks of this relaxation! :)
Matthew is coming to visit us on Friday to spend part of his spring break with us. I am SO EXCITED!!!! I can't wait to see brother and show him around some and just hang out. He hasn't been here since we moved up here, so it will be fun. I'll be posting again soon with updates on Orlando, life in general, and sharing about brother's visit. In the meantime, please keep praying for me and my family as we continue to go through changes, deal with large amounts of stress, and try to rest in God's arms and not panic! :) Love you guys!
