Monday was a day off for me...Mondays off are always about my favorite days off. They come after I work Friday-Sunday, so it always feels like the most relaxing day off I get. I went grocery shopping, which I really enjoy, then I came home and got to do some scheduling and training for work before I needed to start dinner. Mandi and Keagan came over for dinner and games, which was a good time. We had steaks, cheesy potatoes and green beans with chocolate chip cookies for dessert. It was all super delicious and the company made the evening even better!
I always work on Tuesdays, so Jonathan usually goes to basketball in the evening and helps get things organized around the house for me. It was snowy and cold last week, so Jonathan came and got my truck warmed up for me! I was pleasantly surprised to walk out and see him waiting for me...super thankful for that sweet act of kindness! Of course, he told me not to expect it all the time...so I am working on lowering my standards in the future!
Wednesdays are always my day off, so I did some laundry and cleaning, decorated for fall and got a few other things done around the house. We had creamy bacon and mushroom pasta for dinner, then we went to encounter night at church. It was a night of worship and prayer. We had a great time, strengthened our relationship with our new church family and got to connect with a few more people. The evening was a little rough to begin with, but it got better as it went on.

Saturday morning Jonathan made omelettes for breakfast after we finally woke up. We slept in, relaxed and then ended up organizing all of our files and paperwork into our new filing cabinet. Date night was Saturday evening, so we got ready and headed to Alliance. Lowes was our first stop and we got ourselves a new humidifier for our whole house. After that we went to Goodwill to get scarves for our snowmen, we found a really nice glass measuring bowl too, so we got that. We went and walked around Walmart for a little bit, looking for some inspiration for a few additional Christmas presents we have hanging in limbo. Applebees was on the menu for dinner and we were both very happy with the food we got, which is always touch and go for us there! The last few times, we have been really happy with what we got though. After dinner we headed over to the mall, did a little meandering over there and then went to watch the new movie Midway, which was really good. Jonathan loves movies like and and I don't mind them either. It was a fun time together and we haven't actually gone to a movie in quite awhile, so that made it even more fun!
Sunday was one of the first Sundays we have had at home for a really long time. We went to church together, which is something we always enjoy, then came home and had potato soup with biscuits. The afternoon was spent watching football (Jonathan), napping (me) and reading (Jonathan). Afterwards we did navigators, had spaghetti for dinner and went to youth group for the evening. It was a great start to the week and it is a crazy week here for sure! Hopefully you guys are having a good week so far! Thanksgiving is right around the corner (crazy, right?) and we are so ready for that!
Have a great week! Love you all!
Love,
Alli and Jonathan
