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

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 ...
