Friday Favourite Moments 2025 #5 & #6

I just didn't have it in me to post a "Friday Favourite Moments" last week, so this is two weeks combined. Also, it's been a full week and I've barely been home in the evenings so this is also being posted on Saturday morning, as opposed to Friday. Such is life right now :) Anyways, here are my favourite moments from these past couple of weeks.

1) watching Sam play soccer

Watching Sam play soccer is always a favourite. Our normally quiet,introverted, teenager is on the soccer field, encouraging his teammates, and talking a mile a minute. He's been playing goalie this session and it's fun to watch him play!

2) my friend's housewarming party

A couple of weekends ago my friend had a housewarming party and, not only was it fun to celebrate her, but it was also a good evening of connecting with a few people I hadn't had a chance to talk to in years. Good food and great conversation make for an excellent evening for me!

3) blog reading last Monday morning

A couple of Monday mornings ago, I was sitting on the couch with my coffee-hot chocolate and as I was reading blogs and commenting, some of you were commenting on my blog at the same time. I really felt like I was hanging out with my blogging friends and it was a fun start to the week!

4) a lovely sunrise, filling me with hope

While much of the past two weeks has been extremely difficult, last Friday morning on the way to work, I saw an incredible sunrise. It filled me with so much hope after a really hard, and sad, week. While I often talk about my church, I don't often talk about my faith, but it really felt like a message from God to me saying, "It's going to be okay. I'm still here."

5) lots of hugs with my church friends

Again, while I haven't loved the reason, favourite moments have been connecting with, and hugging, my church friends. We're all here supporting each other and it's been good to be together.

6) conversation with our kids

 On Sunday night, both kids settled on the end of our bed, and we had a really nice family conversation for about twenty minutes. The kids are in the (natural, but annoying) stage of constantly sniping at each other. I can tell they're generally just irritated by each other so to have twenty minutes of, not only good conversation, but the kids getting along, was definitely a favourite moment of the week!

So those have been my favourite moments over the past couple of weeks. This coming week I will try and take a few more pictures of my favourite moments :)
