What I'm Thankful For Day 5

Today I am thankful our school and for Bro. Bormann.  Six years ago when Carlie was getting ready to start school I had every intention of homeschooling her.  We had made a school room and then about 4 weeks before school was set to start I got cold feet.  I just didn't know how in the world I could do it with a 4 year old and a 12 month old.  I know now, that people do it all the time and all it takes is a little organization, but then I didn't know nearly as much about it. 
Anyway, we knew that we didn't want to send her to public school, but weren't sure what we were going to do.  I called Bro. Bormann who is the principal at our school and we met with him and knew immediately that we should send her there.  In the beginning we weren't really sure how the financial end of it would work, but God ultimately provided a way.  They have worked with us and allowed me to help out and have become like family. 
Now, that's not to say that they (the teachers, staff or kids) are perfect.  Of course there are issues that arise here and there, but just like with anything else they get worked out.  I am truly thankful that my kids have a place to go to school where having a relationship with Christ is encouraged, where it's standard to start the day saying the pledges to the American and Christian flags as well as the Bible, where it's okay to say the blessing before lunch and where having daily devotions and Bible Class is part of the curriculum.  I can't imagine them going anywhere else :)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
