- In a moment of creativity (or strangeness), I decided to change the name of my "weekly download" to "flotsam and jetsam". I'm intrigued by that phrase, and smile at the idea of being able to use it!
- The week started off with a "Girls' Night" for all the Thrive staff and intern women. It was a fun night of face masks (not on me!), laughing (yep, I did a lot of that!), talking (some great conversations), and snacking (my favorite pastime).
- The last piglet count I heard was 110! That just makes me shake my head in amazement (and slight grossness)...

- "Many times God will send you what you need in a package you don't want." -John Bevere
- "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle
- "The truth is good enough." -Charles Martin
- "The only thing harder than waiting on God, is wishing you had." -Steven Furtick
- Natalie and I have had a lot of fun together this week. One of the highlights for me was coming home to a cooked dinner. The name of the dish? "You-Won't-Be-Single-For-Long Vodka Cream Pasta". Yum-my!

It was fun to show Natalie around the base, (try to) get up close and personal with some animals, and bounce around so much that we've been achy and sore ever since. Although we've been friends for a decade, we don't have many pictures together. So we were excited to take a self-portrait of ourselves while we were out in the far back corner of the property. The sun was really bright, and we ingeniously figured out a way to block it from our eyes so that we wouldn't be squinty in the picture. This is what we ended up with:
