Pre-Race Thoughts

My alarm is set for 4 am.  Tomorrow is race day and we’ve got a good drive before the 7am start time.  Right now we’re watching How To Train A Dragon 2 which we love.  We ran out of microwave popcorn so we made our own.  First time popcorn popper here.  I used THIS recipe, but tossed the popcorn in 2 TB spoons butter and sea salt.  Popping your own popcorn is surprisingly easy and the popcorn was delicious.  I may never go back.

Last night’s Noonday party was crazy fun.  We met new ladies and laughed so hard and ate all the things.  I love seeing everything in person and trying them all on.  I have quite a wish list going now.  The following are on my radar hard.

So many incredible pieces.  Crushing hard on all the bright colored beads with my tees for sure.  Our show is still open online so if you’d like to place an order head over HERE.  Just make sure Ashley Mills is listed as your ambassador and Laura Kelley as the hostess.

My friend Jess knows me so well and gave me my new favorite pens.  I used them all day today making lists.  Jess loves a good pen just like me and I am sold on this Stabilo Wallet Set of 10
This whole set is going straight in my purse and I shall never use another pen for my every day use.

We leave next Saturday for Africa…hence all my list making.  Harper is also missing her ballet recital because it’s next Saturday too…when we will be at the airport.  It was really hard for her…there were tears, but her dance teacher which was also her 2nd grade teacher is letting us all come to her dress rehearsal so we can still see her dance.  I love good, kind and thoughtful teachers.

Amon and I had some solo time together so we played checkers, ate lunch on the counter top and cut lots of paper.  It’s what we do.

Solomon is our huge reader.  Harper loves to read too, but Solomon is right there with her now.  Amon says he can read too.  These are the things I hope I never forget.

    And Genesis is making we cry rivers…everyday.  So much about trust.  So much about faith.  So much about hearing God and then doing.  I love how God equips completely ill-equipped people to do His work.  It’s hard to walk those unknown roads especially when you can already feel the pain, but beauty is waiting…God’s goodness and growth are waiting.

 Alright the movie just ended and there are 4 smallish human Kelleys still awake and I need to get to bed asap.  Here’s to a grand weekend.  Hope you enjoy it!

Happy Friday!
