Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Turkey Day, people! We had a nice holiday weekend. Thanksgiving was harder than I expected it to be. It was hard not going to my Papaw's house (for the first time EVER) on Thanksgiving night, but we pushed through and enjoyed our time together as a family. It was very different this year not only because we didn't go to Papaw's but also because my sister and her kids were not there. This is the first "big" holiday since the divorce and it was just kind of hard. It was hard on her because she didn't have her kids and hard for me because things just weren't normal..and we all know I thrive in the normal! I felt off all day. The rest of the weekend went well.  Carl and Trey went deer hunting but didn't see anything. We went to the carnival but didn't ride any rides, only walked through the tents (and Carlie got to see her "friend"), ate at our favorite Chinese restaurant and continued decorating for Christmas.  We also grilled hamburgers and had a bonfire with Trey as our live entertainment. We ended the weekend with potluck at church (I do not love potluck meals).
I took very few pictures all week/weekend long. I was sick off and on up until Thursday. I'm not sure if it was some little virus I picked up or what but my head hurt so bad I contemplated going to the ER. I just HATE going to the doctor.
So here are my pictures:

Great night for a bonfire

Carlie is always ready for my pictures 😊

Makena gave me this face when I told her to smile.

Trey and his one-man show 🤣

We really did have a good week of quality family time, and even though we were missing a few we made through our first non-traditional (or abnormal) holiday. 

Much Love,
Beth

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 ...
