I enjoyed having the blog break. I did think about blogging every day and it sure was tempting to get on and see what every one was up to. But I didn't!! However Bryan did get on a few of your blogs and told me what was going on!! Heee Heee!!! I didn't ask him to, honest. He just volunteered some information.

While I took a break from blogging I didn't finish the book I wanted to finish. But I did get in some great reading and prayer time on Wednesday afternoon. I enjoyed the quiet time. I did accomplish one HUGE goal....catching up on my personal journalling. I do not write my deepest feelings or struggles on my blog because there are some things that are private and I only share with Bryan and God. I wrote out 22 pages of my thoughts, experiences, frustrations, praises, songs, scriptures in my journal. I thought this would be healing and at times it was. On other times, it brought back some emotions that I'm beginning to wonder if they will ever go away. But I'm thankful I got all the journalling caught up. I did a couple pages each day.

I'll try to summarize the rest of the week in pictures.

A huge item on my project list was cleaning out the front flower bed and planting new annuals and perennials. I got this accomplished!!!! It took me the whole week; working a few hours each evening.

I lost count on how many bags of mulch we used. Not all of the flower bed is shown in this picture. I think we used at least 10 bags.

On Thursday evening we had a Girls Night at my Sunday School teacher's home. It was Emily Foster's birthday celebration.

On Friday Bryan had to work in the computer lab at OU so I joined him. I was thrilled to go because it would force me to work on more of my journalling plus it gave me an opportunity to be in the same place as he was. He has been incredibly busy this week. So I went with my pen, Bible, and iPod. I got a lot accomplished while he worked on his project that looked incredibly complicated. It was kind of neat....we even shared headphones and my ipod!! I know I know, how romantic!!! heee heee heee.

This fountain is just outside the engineering school at OU. OU has the prettiest campus!! I love it!!!

MY MAN!!!!!! We cannot wait until April 2009 when he will have his Masters in Engineering!!!Afterwards we went for pizza at Hideaway. In honor of THE University of Oklahoma, our pizza was called THE BOZ. (Does anyone remember Bryan Bozworth from the 80s? He was a great player at OU). The pizza was great and we ate way to much!!!!

On Sunday morning Bryan and his co-workers ran the relay for the OKC Memorial Marathon. Bryan ran the first leg of 6.1 miles!!! I was proud of him. We had to be downtown at 6:00 A.M Yuck!!!!!

Bryan putting on the chip that recorded the time for everyone. I would have taken a picture of him at his relay spot as he finished but due to some confusion I didn't get one (a entirely different post that would take way to long).
