Life Update

I just realized that there are a couple of things that I never updated you guys on.

Number one is Makena. When we went to the doctor *almost a month ago* she got released...kind of. He said take it easy for another couple of months and really until the end of the year for good measure. I really applaud him for encouraging her to be super cautious this go round. He was happy that she was doing so well this time but also stressed that she really does not need to have to have another surgery any time soon (hopefully ever). I still catch myself telling her to "BE CAREFUL!", and she keeps giving me "the look" that she is so famous for! She is still eager to enter the workforce. We are just praying and waiting for the job that will be a good fit for her.

Carlie...Carlie is just doing her thing. She usually stays in Little Rock with her friend Monday thru Wednesday or sometimes Thursday, then comes home and works Friday and Saturday. She is teaching Sunday School (preschool) and still helping with the praise choir (doing mostly tech stuff but she also sings). We laugh because Carl and I both get calls and texts from guys or their parents about them or their kid dating her. She had enough of that earlier in the year! She said she doesn't have time right now and I agree 100%.
She starts clinicals in a couple of weeks and is pumped.

Trey is doing all the Trey things. He would love to be bow hunting but it's still so darn hot. I'm talking 95° hot. He hasn't been fishing so much. He has moved on to concentrating more on his music. He loves to play his guitar and is still taking piano. He is anxiously awaiting duck season!


Carl is still pretty busy. He has been having to do a little more than usual because his boss was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago.
He has been a little stressed about some things work related. I may not know exactly how he feels but I know God is in control of it all. He can and does use people that aren't even aware they are being used to bless us and help us through life.


And me, well I'm still here. Teaching my babies and raising my chickens.

I started teaching the preschool age kids this year in our Wednesday night Gospel Project. I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying them. They love to learn!

I guess that gets us all caught up!

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...
