Goodbye, Sassy!

A while back I mentioned a few things that happened that kind of turned our world upside down.  I felt as though I was somewhat getting over it (or used to it) then BAM something else happened.  On Monday, July 15 around 7 a.m., I got a phone call that I never wanted to get.  It was Carl telling me that Carlie had been in an accident in Little Rock.  I felt like my heart stopped beating.  I called my parents and they took me over there. Makena stayed at home with Trey because I didn't have time to wait on them.  I knew that she was ok (maybe a broken bone in her hand) and that no one else was involved. The whole ride over there I felt numb and light headed. I am not made for trauma situations.
Turns out, she had a blowout on her back tire and ended up bouncing off of the wall about three times. I hate looking at this picture. We are so thankful that Carlie wasn't hurt, even though we can't say the same for Sassy Saturn.

Carl snapped this picture. Poor baby!


When we finally got to see her, she and Carl were at the hospital.  She was checked out and had no broken bones but did have a sprain in her back and her hand was pretty banged up.  What did she want to do after we left the hospital?  Go to school.  Yep, you read that right. She insisted that she was fine and wanted to go to school.  So we let her go.  A friend of hers dropped her off at another friends office where she stayed until my dad and Carl could get back to pick her up. They went to get her car at the wrecker service and bring it back home. She caught a ride to school the next day and then I had to take her in one day before she was able to get a new car.
Ya'll don't even know how blessed we were during all of this (mainly because I can't disclose it).  The fact that no other cars were involved was nothing short of a miracle.
God is faithful to his children. He blesses (and sometimes punishes) those who belong to Him.
Through my darkest hours He is still reminding me of His goodness.

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
