A few hours after my husband left the “United States Area” last week I got a frantic phone call from my daughter telling me that our water heater was leaking and sputtering and making hissing noises. Now, I don’t know that I can back this up with any science but it FEELS like there is a direct correlation between “husband leaves town” and “everything in the house goes cattywampus” and am currently recruiting any science people to make this all official.
Hilariously(?) this was not the only thing to go wrong during the week and you’re correct in thinking that my husband is not allowed to leave town anymore.
(Also, I’m working from my car right now and bumped the horn with my laptop and it scared the bejeezus out of me. I AM AWAKE NOW.)
My point in telling this story isn’t to complain (although, maybe that’s exactly what I’m doing) but to make fun of the week I had by cracking weird jokes. And maybe it’s just the excuse we need to jump right into all the joy I found on the Internet this week. We’ve earned it:
✨JOY From the Internet!✨
🍟 This really should’ve been my theme of last week:
🚘 Teen drivers amirite??
These reels are required viewing:
🎩 Goose parade!

❗️What can I say? I like cozy things that I can live in:

🔪 As a person that gets called more than most, I’d like to be a little less of a best friend? But still:
🖥 2007-2009 me is really annoying:
🤗 Word hugs are here:
💃🕺 Don’t forget the dance breaks - even when your water heater breaks, right?? (Also, original Ridiculous Joy Playlist is available for your dance parties.)
✨Song of the Week!✨
I do like this song but I picked it for the song of the week based solely on the title, of course. (Everything *is* ok!) (Especially since now I have hot water. This is a selfish choice and mindset.)
✨Inexplicable Joy✨
It’s still the week of Easter in my book. So there’s a bit of an Easter theme around here:
🐣 Easter ridiculousness:
💜 This is lovely:
⛅️ God and breakthroughs:
⬅️ Go anyway:
💕 Love people:
Our prayer of the week:
Our Father
Lord of the captive and Lord of the free, fill our voices with songs that proclaim hope, joy and justice for all creation. Guide us this day to walk alongside the oppressed as fellow sojourners. Amen.
I love you all…I hope you’re having an amazing start to your week.
❤️ Love, Jill
p.s. we made cupcakes for all the April birthdays in my family and I LOVE THEM. They bring me so much joy! (The secret is DIPPING the cupcake into the sprinkles, btw…brought to you by laziness or always looking for the easiest way.)
