After we got home from work on Monday we went to the gym and had some tuna noodle and BLTs when we came home. Then I did some studying and Jonathan prepared for Bible study. Chili was on the menu for Tuesday, so together we got that ready to start in the morning.
Tuesday was a long day for Jonathan, he didn't get home until after 6 and had Bible study at 7, so we had chili really quickly then he left. I stayed home and studied then watched a little bit of NCISLA. It was a rough day since we didn't get to spend much time together. Both of us value our quality time, so busy evening spent apart can really wear us down!
Wednesday we got to spend some time together, which was much needed. We grocery shopped, ate leftovers and, oddly, I had a lot of phone calls to deal with, so we just relaxed between all of that and enjoyed our time together.
Thursday is always busy. I had a ton of meetings (about 5) throughout the day and we both were pretty tired when we got home. Leftover chili was our main dish, then we went to small group. They are fantastic people and we love them a lot.
Friday after work we rushed to leave for East Rochester. It felt like a really long drive, but we made it and enjoyed catching up with my parents.
Saturday morning came very early, but we left before the snow started and had a busy day with the family. It is always good to see the Lumleys, Aunt Bev, Uncle Ron, Grandma, Grandpa and Kyle. Everyone was so helpful and we got done in great time! Our drive home was quite snowy, but we made it home easily. Jonathan did some shoveling once he helped us unload the truck and Mom and I put meat away in our respective freezers. We are so blessed to have meat for the rest of the year, now to use all of it! In the evening we watched Darkest Hour and enjoyed some good conversation with Mom and Dad before we went to bed...late...because early service had already been canceled!
By this morning all of the churches were cancelled. Grace Chapel, Harvest and SMC - so we had a lazy morning. Dad made omelets and we packed everything up to leave. On the way home we stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa Landis, Ken and Pam. We always love seeing them and loved catching up with everyone on that side of the family. Our drive home took quite a long time, but we are so glad to finally be home. The roads were surprisingly good and only got better as we went west. As always, we love coming back to our little apartment in Wapakoneta. Jonathan did a lot of shoveling once we got home while I did some meal prep, unpacking and ironing. Now we are both inside, snuggled up, watching the Patriots game and ready for a good night's sleep!
Honestly - our meal plan for this week involves quite a few leftovers and the use of some of the supplies we have in our pantry. Not very exciting, just trying to get our life back together and organized!
We love you all! Have a great week and stay as warm as you can!
Love,
Alli and Jonathan
