Look Who's Driving!

Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, Makena finally got to take the road test part of the driving test😊 We have said we were taking this test literally every Monday since New Years Day and almost every Monday one of three things happened: 1. Rain 2. Holiday 3. Sickness
We caught a nice day with a super nice driving instructor and passed the first time. Of course she rubbed it in big sisters face just a tad (it took Carlie 3 times to pass😂😂). Anyway, that part is over and now we are just waiting until the summer to try and find her a car. I may have to start me a GoFundMe page for donations😣😣
I am super proud of her and I love to see her smile 😁

It's hard to believe that she will be 16 in July. She was always my laid back, go with the flow sweet baby. She is still sweet and easy going but definitely not my baby anymore. She has dreams of going (far) away to college. She loves the chance to get away from home (with or without me). While I would never want to hold her back from "living" her life, I am a little sad that she is so eager to go. I am proud of her. I feel like she is firmly grounded in her beliefs and I pray  that she will let God lead her. 
Three song titles keep coming to my mind as I am writing this: "I Will Trust In You" by Lauren Diagle, "A Love That Lets Go" by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus,  and "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman. 
It's hard being a parent. You spend so much time and energy teaching your kids things, beating yourself up when you fail, and praying that they will be safe, happy, and pleasing to God. It makes me wish that I had been a little more understanding of my parents as a teen and young adult because really they only wanted (and still do) what was best for me.

Much Love,
Beth

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
