Time vs. strawberry shortcake

Seems like an easy choice doesn't it? As long as the day is, and as intent as we were to get over to Seth & Teresa's for strawberry shortcake the other day, it just didn't happen. Oh, how I longed for a little dessert that day, but for some reason the time just seemed to disappear that day as quickly as the entire week went.

Between Summer Recreation, running in the rain, meetings, fishing, church stuff, going to Sioux Falls to go to Chuck-E-Cheese, and a picnic at Camden Park, oh and let's not forget the biggest time gulper of all, THE POOL, we found ourselves this week in a blur of quick-fix meals, crabby-yet-ambitious children followed by eventual passing out on the couch a few times. Don't get me wrong, we had plenty of fun, relaxing activities to do and we enjoy it even more now that we live in town, but I think the kids (well, maybe just AJ) is in constant "busy" mode & keeping up with him gets exhausting.

But on the bright side, all is good! We are healthy, thankful & truly blessed for what God has given (and not given) us & we continue to look forward to what doors He will open for us, not ones that we try to kick in for ourselves.
