Learning to be a Wife: Life Lately: Week 18

This is what the past week looked like.

Ground beef taco bowls for dinner (x3).

My little cinnamon roll.

I went into this book with high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to them and left me feeling disappointed.

Favorite quotes:

"Every face is a story."

"He was fully invested in the art of living."

"Sadness might be many things, but it is rarely stupid. The good sadness, I think, is always trying to tell us something very important."

"It's hard enough to define what art is, much less 'good art.' I wonder if there is such a thing. Maybe there are just good responses. But I guess if a work of art makes us see something familiar in a new way or makes us feel something we ought to have felt all along or shows us our place in the world more clearly maybe then it qualifies as 'good.' If it makes us better somehow, maybe that's what gives it value."

Breakfast lately.

Unexpected pop of pink.

Deep in Numbers - it’s not exactly adding up to a great time (so much death), but I’m still learning more about who God is through it.

Lunch favorite around here: cottage cheese with tofu and sweet potatoes.

Library board meeting.

Mission. Accomplished.

I love Aldi.

Nothing thrills me more than a top-tier dupe at a bottom-tier price.

Qdoba is always a good idea.

Game night at the neighbors'.

The sweetest...er.... sleepiest boy.

Beauty in the mundane.

We packed meals for Feed My Starving Children and it made me emotional seeing so many volunteers spend their Saturday giving their time to such a worthy cause.

We hit a million meals!
