Friday, Friday. You know those weeks you have so many things on your list to get accomplished and how Monday rolls around and you're super motivated to do them all but that fire slowly dissipates because life happens...? Yeah, that. That was this week.

Emery ended up sick with some head cold thing and a high fever so she had a few nights of restless nights meaning Andrew and I did too. Yesterday she hit rock bottom after fighting a nap from not being able to breathe through her nose and mama cuddles were the only cure. I'll take it though because those are few and far between.

We also had a follow up appointment for Andrew and his hand and things are slowly trucking along. I think when the accident happened we assumed recovery would be quick like a paper cut but reality is, he had serious trauma happen with his hand and it's proving us it's a process that takes time and patience. We still don't know a time frame of when he'll be back to work because of his hand being scabbed over so we're just resting in God's grace taking it one day at a time.

loving // These darling journals from Val Marie Paper! I just ordered one for Drake to work on our devotionals together and he's pumped to get it. I'll share his feedback when he's formed an opinion.

appreciating // My husband. He's been so sweet and helpful to me with Emery and Drake while he's been off and every time Drake brings up something about how he wishes the accident didn't happen, Andrew replies saying he wouldn't change it for the world because he's gotten so much time with his family.... sigh. :)

wanting // To try this stuff! When people describe smelling like a mermaid, I go all girly and really curious about the scent. Have any of your tried it?

listening // Flo Rida - My House... seriously obsessed with that song right now!

watching // The People v OJ Simpson. I'm not a persona to typically watch something of that nature because I'm a scared-y cat but I'm intrigued! Are you watching it? What do you think about it?
