Happy Birthday, Carl!

Today we celebrated Carl's birthday. I won't give away his age but he isn't as old as his Gray hair would lead you to believe😊 He had to work but was gifted with a very sweet card and a yummy chocolate cake from his farm family. We are thankful that he works for Christian people. We (me, the kids, and my parents) met him for lunch at our local Mexican restaurant.

It's hard to believe that he had just turned 16 a couple of weeks before we started dating. Time flies when you're having fun!! After he got home from work we went to church where the Teen Discovery class that he co-teaches made him an awesome candy card.

Everybody loves Carl. It used to bother me because I felt like everyone liked him more than me but somebody has to be the realistic grouch...and that is usually me...and I now own it 😂😁

This really has nothing to to with Carl's birthday, but my Aunt and Uncle invited us to go eat with them in DeWitt. It was the first time we had ever been to this particular restaurant and it was very tasty.

Then we walked out to this...thankfully they didn't hit us but, umm really?!

Happy Birthday my love! We love you and hope that you have MANY MORE!!

Much Love,

Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week. I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday. Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling. It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew. It was him. Trey was the surprise. He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting. He did well, considering it was his first time. He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior. And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with Andrea and Erika for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004. I just love it when a plan comes together. A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible. That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river. Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski. It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...

This week, we pulled out one of our very favorites: Ritz Cracker Chicken. We all love this, but it is Trey's very favorite meal.
