Happy Sun Day

How was that California sun today, fellow inhabitants of Orange County? Could you believe how warm it was?

This day was a very nice one for me, starting out with some great garage/yard sale finds.
Like these:

Which turned out to be Justin boots. They’re exactly my size and a style that suits me, plain, rugged, and cool. They took up most of the room in our $5 bag at Tustin Presbyterian’s yard sale, so I guess they cost most of $5. In that bag we also got tap shoes in exactly Ave’s size, which is great because the ones she uses now are too big. As well as some black ballet flats for June and a polyurethane H & M purse for me.
Then we drove through some neighborhood garage sales and came across this:

It’ll do! We already have one double stroller where a smaller child can sit in the front and an older one can sit or stand on the back, but I don’t like to use that one for littler babies, one reason being that it isn’t comfy enough for them to sleep in and when they are reclined, the child in the back doesn’t have much room and is sorta forced to stand. We weren’t going to purchase a double stroller, but for $40 this one seems like it’s worth the convenience it’ll grant us once the baby comes.

We came home from our shopping and I got a really good nap. June was still sleeping when I awoke and Jonny and Ave were busy playing the Indiana Jones Lego game, so I sunned! In February!

I thought about my little fetus and prayed for it and sent it love. I read. I ate my mother-in-law’s Bisquick biscuits and sipped Coke from a bottle (which is a little deviation since I quit caffeine a month ago, today simply called for such a deviation!). I enjoyed the view:

I enjoyed this little dude’s sunny day serenade:

And I enjoyed my suntime companions:

This is a very happy and joy-filled time in my life and I’m glad to realize that while I’m in it and not let anything or anyone influence me otherwise. Today’s weather reflected my sunny state of mind, and so I was facilitated in feeling and living out the joy that is most certainly always present and available to me by God’s grace. But in my joy I’m not forgetting the struggles and hardships that good friends are in the midst of, so this is also an extra-prayerful time in my life. Prayers for sunny rays of joy and peace to infiltrate the suffering, anxiety, pain and uncertainty.
