Thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoy reading about my week here in Reno, NV.
A picture of behind the scenes. LOL! Sunday was a good day. :) As always. I very much am enjoying the sermon series of Soul Activity as my husband preaches on various emotions. This week was on the emotion of anger.
Sunday afternoon, I worked all afternoon to catch up - mainly on going through my paperwork and getting ready for the week. Pay a bill, check e-mail, organize all receipts for the church, update the fundraiser details. Do some laundry.
Then back to the Sunday evening service...staff meeting and then rush off to work.
Monday morning, my husband flew out to Pensacola, FL to visit PCC. When I got off at 8am, I went to the gym for my morning workout. I had planned on going grocery shopping but left my shopping list in my calendar. Ugh.
Stop at CVS for TP deal, ATM to make a deposit and then home.
Work on school - last full week of the school year...hooray! It was a long day of school. At 5:30 - drop off Addie at her softball practice at Mayors and take Autumn to hers at Raleigh Heights. At 7:15pm, we rushed back home to drop them off and then off to work for my Monday shift.
Tuesday morning, off at 8am. I stopped on the way home at Winco to get groceries (finally!).
School - the end is so close, I can almost taste it!
Laundry and ironing.
Check e-mail, send out church e-mail, announcements for Sunday.
Made a pot of vegetable beef soup for lunch/dinner. My husband doesn't like it (it has canned green beans and peas in it - LOL!) so it was a perfect day to make it. Plus it was overcast and chilly which makes it so good!
For dinner, I added garlic knots as a side.
Swimming lessons 2-2:45pm.
The girls came home and took their showers and then went to the church to do some work that they are earning some side money to do. Clearing out the front fence line.
Softball practice for Summer at 6pm at Silver Lake and then off to work. :) Brr! It was so windy - the wind and cold temps chilled you to the bone.
Wednesday morning - off at 8am. Usually my gym morning but I decided to burn my calories helping the girls finish up their project. Outside work always is a great workout!
So this is what the fence line looked like before we started. Sagebrush, long grass/weeds, trash and garbage, dead and composting leaves...it was an absolute mess. We don't own this side of the fence but the company that does own it doesn't maintain it. So it ends up with everything imaginable blown up against it. We just wanted to get the front line of the fence done before Easter Sunday.

This is what it looked like after 4 1/2 hours of work and over 24 bags of debris that we bagged up and hauled away. No pretty landscaping but it is clear and clean!
After working at the church, I ran to vacuum out the car and then get a shower in. Then it was drop off the girls for piano lessons - 12:30-2pm.
Summer, Aaron and I went to the airport to pick up my husband. The wait was ridiculous...about an hour after they landed - they finally got their luggage.
Beef stroganoff and corn for dinner.
Drop off Addie for Youth Group.
Summer's t-ball game was cancelled due to high winds.
Game for Autumn at O'Brien @ 6pm. Chilly night! Don't you love those dark, black clouds though? :)
Off to work!
Sweet gift from my secret sister. :) Pioneer Woman! Yay!
Thursday, off at 8am. :) Yay!! Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we babysat for Aaron. It's always fun to watch him.
School.
Spent some time over at the church prepping. Moving and setting up chairs. Cleaning. Getting ready for Easter Sunday! Preparing for my FPU class.
After we finished up at the church, my husband and I had to run to visit the chiropractor and then a quick stop at Burlington and then back home.
As soon as I got home, it was off again to swimming lessons. The weather was crazy!! It was sunny, then dark, then rainy, then windy, then sunny. LOL!
On the way, raining.
Then snowing during lessons.
Then sunny on the way home.
For dinner, I made a new recipe - Creamed Ham over cornbread. On the side, I did a sweet potato and spinach combo. I really liked the creamed ham - it was pretty easy and it was a tasty dish.
We barely had time to finish dinner up and then off to praise and worship practice @ 6pm.
Dropped off Addie and Melissa at 6:45pm for their warm-ups. Back to the church to finish practice.
Men's Bible Study at 7pm.
Then off to Addie's game at Mayors at 7:45pm.
It was crazy snowing. Like big, fat, wet flakes coming down. It was so insane! Good game and definitely a memory!
Got home about 9:30pm to warm up and dry out!
Finish cleaning up and then off to bed.
Friday morning! Early start on school. One of my favorite times...finishing up all the tests and quizzes books! Hooray! Three days left next week.
While the girls did school, I HAD to get some errands done. My first stop was the gym for my Friday workout. Then Jersey Mike's for my free birthday sub and drink...oh.my.goodness! It was soooooooooo good! It may be a new favorite place.
I went to Payless to get new Easter shoes for all the ladies in the house.
Ross to try on some Easter dresses for me.
Winco for some food items for Saturday and Sunday.
Stop at the salon to get my eyebrows waxed.
Then back to the church after Keren cleaned to set up Kid City for my FPU class that evening.
For dinner, I made a new recipe - Mediterranean tuna wraps/sandwiches. Yummy for people that don't like sweet relish. It uses mayo, black olives, green onions and roasted red peppers instead.
We added ranch pasta salad on the side and a boiled egg.
After an early dinner, it was off to my first Financial Peace University class which will be held for nine weeks on Fridays at 6:30pm.
While I had my class, my husband and the other girls went to a revival at Granite Hills Baptist. Then it was back to home to finish up dishes, laundry and housework.
Saturday morning...Opening Day for our softball league! This is a super busy day for our family. We had to arrive at 9:30am - ceremonies began at 10am.

Saturday morning...Opening Day for our softball league! This is a super busy day for our family. We had to arrive at 9:30am - ceremonies began at 10am.
Our oldest, Addie, is 13 and she is in the 14U team. She is playing for Lightning.
Summer is our youngest and is in her last year of t-ball. She is six years and is playing on Shake and Bake for the second year. :)
Autumn is our second oldest, 11 years and she is playing on the Punishers for the 12U team.
We love this league and the friends we have made the past four years. It has a family feel.
This is Autumn pitching.
Addie and Melissa playing.
It was a full day of games - 11:15am, 12:55pm, and 3:15pm. Warm-ups in between.
While they warmed up, I did a run to Wal-Mart for my last minute Easter shopping. Back just in time for the game. Between the last two games, we ran to the chiropractor and Ross for my Easter dress. :)
After we got home about 6pm from the day, we had pizza for dinner and then I worked on prep for Sunday.
Made mashed potatoes for Sunday dinner. Dishes. Laundry. Iron Easter clothes. Lay out all items for Sunday. Showers for the girls. Stuff the eggs and make their baskets for our family Easter. Set the table for the morning. Busy day!!
I hope you had a wonderful week too!
