high 5 for inst-friday

today, i am linking up with lauren, jeanette, rachel and lindsey to acknowledge all the little things that made this past week awesome.

ONE:  last saturday was the best.day.ever.  

• i began my morning with the love wins crew downtown.  it was a beautiful morning surrounded by beautiful people.  
• next, i hung out with some of the ladies from church packing backpacks full of school supplies for neighbor to neighbor.  
• then, i headed to get my hair did and spend some time with lacie.  not only does she always do a great job on my hair, she is a joy to be around.  
• afterwards, my friend christina and i met up to spend the afternoon together.  we ate lunch, made a pit stop by some thrift shops and then had headed downtown for the best cold brew in town.  we walked around for a while sipping on our yummy coffee.  it was so great to spend some time with her just catching up and encouraging one another. 

the entire day was such a reminder how much i love my city and the people in it.  husband and i are so blessed!

THREE:  headed to my hometown on tuesday evening to take the jeep to get the air condition fixed and an impromptu visit with the family :)

FOUR:  husband and i completed our financial peace university class this week.  it was a really great class that taught us a lot about being and staying debt free and supporting our growing family.  next steps:  pay off our last little bit of debt and then start baby step #3: build our emergency fund.
