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

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'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
