Today was another gorgeous good weather day here in Virginia Beach. It was in the mid 60's and sunny. Could have been a bit warmer but I'll take what I can get in February! Lily and I headed to a picture playgroup. The husband of one of the mom's in the group does professional photography and every once in awhile will take individual pics of the kids in the group. Well the room he was doing it in was right next to the play area. When we went to go in there she starts freaking out because I guess she wanted to be where all the other kids were. So... no pictures this time. Lily had a great time playing though!
After that we headed back home and went out back to play. I don't think I mentioned this but one of the bonuses of this house is that out in our backyard there is a part that is fenced in that has a ton of outdoor play toys. It is for the Mother's Day Out kids to use some in the mornings but we can use it anytime we want to! So thankfully we have that free of use for us and we don't really have to buy any outdoor things (playhouse, cozy coupes, etc.). I AM getting a red wagon though for us to have!! I'm very excited about taking Lily for wagon rides in nice weather. This afternoon we went for a walk to get outside some more. I have a feeling the 2 of us are going to be outside a LOT during the spring/summer. I love it and so does Lily.
I was talking to Alicia last night on the phone and I mentioned to her how different our lives are now. There are things that of course that remain the same but in regards to what we're doing/how much we're doing, etc. it's like complete opposite. It seems like there's always something going on - mostly church related things of course. Which I guess I should have expected since Matt's the youth pastor there. For instance... here's our weekend. Tomorrow I'm watching Aaron (our nephew) in the afternoon. Then tomorrow night is the first of our "dinner for 5" for the youth group. Each month we are doing 1 dinner here for 5 of the youth group kids to get to know them more in a more relaxed environment. Saturday evening we are invited to the Flug's house for dinner. They are having a bunch of people over to get to meet the missionaries who are in town from Brazil. The youth group is going to Brazil this summer for their missions trip. Which speaking of, Matt's going to be gone out of the country for 10 days in June for that. :( Plus he'll be gone for Father's Day! AHH! The good part of this (to be positive) is that Lily and I are going to go down to my sister's for the week to spend time with them. So that will definitely be great!
We've only been here for a few weeks now so who knows what our "typical" lifestyle will be but so far that's how it's been. Well... I've gone on enough for now. Off to finish watching American Idol and drink my starbucks coffee.
