I heart...

weekends that feel like vacations :)

Ol' Shirley looked like this on Friday:

Ok...not quite so bad- but she was smokin'!
The outlook is not so good, we think she might be a gonner-

but we're trying to have the right attitude.

We are not entitled to any vehicles, let alone 2.

Having Ol' Shirl' for a couple months was a blessing,
and i know the Lord will continue to provide :)

...but in the meantime, it looks like J is going to have to learn how to drive my standard Mini!

Aside from our car trouble, we had a lovely weekend!

First, my BFF/sister was waiting for me at my house when we got home. We swam and hung out for the first time in ages well into the evening :)

Then there was the Weirton Greek Festival- yummmmmm!
So glad that I married Greek:) these were some of my faaaaaavorites!

Gyros--of course!

Then some baklava...

followed by some Melomakarona...

and finally, my favorite- koulourakia! i could eat 100 of these in a single sitting. As a matter of fact, i had some for breakfast this morning:)

(a reasonable portion size, no?)

Saturday night, we had dinner and wine with family friends- another wonderful evening.

And on Sunday, my favorite princess had her 6th birthday.

Swimming+hot dogs+ birthday cake= perfect Sunday.

Then, riiight before Jonathan and I left on Sunday night, we picked up Dicarlo's Pizza and had ourselves a FEAST! Sadly, we forget the leftovers in Weirton.

And when we finally made it home on Sunday evening, I got to snuggle up with the most wonderful man in the world and fall

happily

contently

peacefully

asleep.

Thanks Jesus :)
