Monday's a day to wake up!

There's something comforting about coming to Monday morning and hitting restart for the next few days, perhaps even for the week. I'm feeling the lull after a busy weekend, but I'm grateful to be writing this morning and connecting with my mom friends about the giveaway winners and upcoming blog party.

Chad let his co-workers know that they were welcome to come (after explaining a few things about his wife!), and I'm finding they're definitely a fun group to be a part of, and we're looking forward to getting to know them more on an individual basis.  I already met one as she was waitressing at Ruby Tuesday one busy Friday night, and Anita was a former piano teacher.  Chad says, "I know her world."  Chris is a basketball/golf guy - so he's so excited to have a connection that way as well.

This was my favorite carving by Reliamax employees in Sioux Falls!

Did you notice the pumpkin seeds are the sesame seeds?  Speaking of pumpkin, a sweet, lovely woman by the name of Linda Bomhoff won the pumpkin bar, spirulina bar and raw chocolates.  Are you up for meeting me at Coffea?  And a mom of an energetic toddler, cuddly baby and smart-as-a-whip school girl Mary, Katie Brown won the orange scrubby.  If she likes it, she's welcome to come to Sioux Falls to get more of them!  (seriously, I'd mail you a bunch if you get hooked)

Enjoy your restart today. 

 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,

    for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness. Lam. 3:22-23
