The Daily Hailey

Yesterday Brady and I skipped church for the first time in a long time and I can honestly say, it really did finally feel like  day of rest. We slept in, had breakfast, watched some tv in bed, and eventually went to Saskatoon to run a couple errands that weren’t super necessary, but just got us out of the house. It was so nice to not have a deadline. We were so relaxed! We made it back in the late afternoon and had a really easy supper. Brady’s parents were driving home from a reunion and spent the night here, so they arrived about a half hour before Dekker went to bed. We had a nice cup of coffee and a chat, and all went to bed at a decent time.

This morning, we all had breakfast together before they continued their journey home. Now, Brady is outside working on the deck (yes, he took the day off) and Deks and I are inside, playing on the floor. The fan is doing a great job of keeping us cool, and I still have the taste of my breakfast nectarine in my mouth. Yum. Deks will hopefully nap in about a half hour and then I’ll go help with the deck. Haven’t had my chance to get in there and get my hands dirty yet, so today is the day!

We’ll spend the evening at my parents house, celebrating my birthday. I’m officially one year older today and to be honest, its the first year where I’ve felt old. I was thrilled to be twenty, and while I know I”m still plenty young, I’m practically in my mid-twenties!!! Not feeling especially ready for that. I catch myself reminiscing a lot recently about the summer after I graduated high school. It was the best summer of my life and it feels like it was yesterday that I was there. Guess what, it was like six years ago! Feelin’ old. Not how I expected to feel. However, I’m pretty sure all the fun is just beginning 🙂 I’m very thankful to have made it this far. Thank you Lord for giving me another day!
