Lazy Sunday (sort of, not really!)

This morning Stephen and i decided to venture in for the early service, as well as get breakfast BEFORE the 9am service at this fantaaaaaaaaaaaaastic restaurant in Bozeangeles called Overeasy. Quite possibly the best Eggs Benedict i've ever had in my life (this was the 2nd week in a row i had them, although this time they were actually for breakfast instead of lunch :) ). In order to actually eat breakfast beforehand, we had to leave no later than 6:45am. YIKES. i have gotten used to not getting up before 7am since i've been out here, so to actually be ready at 6:45 was a bit of a shock! It turned out to be well worth it, though, as breakfast held me well into the afternoon.

The church service was ok; i'm still a bit of a picky church-goer after being at Coquina for 2+ years. They have a college + age group (CrossLife) that meets during the 2nd service, so we stayed for that today, and it was much closer to being at home - they meet in the gym, which has a cafeteria-esque feel, hence feeling right at home! the music was much more my style (church service is more traditional) and it was a great time of worship!

We made a quick stop at the grocery store so i could get some lunch food for the week, then Stephen was kind enough to let me hop into Joann Fabrics real quick to pick up some new yarn (i promised him i wouldn't take more than 15 minutes). So tonight while it's really slow, i'm catching up on blog/email/etc, as well as crocheting my new BRIGHT RED cowl scarf!

Unfortunately, i'm still waiting on my computer cord to arrive, so i will have LOTS and LOTS of pictures to post when it fiiiiiiinally gets here!

I'm hoping to get out on the slopes for the first time this week, although i'm really enjoying having downtime to get into the Word, crochet, wander around and take pictures, and just REST. I'm certainly beginning to feel refreshed/renewed and i'm looking forward to what's in store for the rest of my time here, as well as what's to come once i get back to FL!

to my GoCo, i miss you guys so much! family dinners are such a blessing and i look forward to rejoining you all in a few months. (where did you hear that in The Story?!?!)

to the worship team, i also miss you guys so much! today was the first familiar taste i've had of worshiping like i do with you all since i've been gone...

to the rest of my church family, i miss Sunday mornings, but i'm so glad to be able to keep up with you here, FB and Skype and look forward to hearing from you for the rest of my time here

to my genetic family, most of you i don't see anyway, so i always miss you!

more photos coming soon! much love ~ the one and only lauren e. sykes :)
