Just Smile!

Whew, ya'll! Finishing up another doozie here on the homestead and thought I would share a few details (and pics) of our fun, busy week.

My big girl is having the time of her life in the big city.

This Carlie with her roommate, Destini.  They were all ready for their first day of clinicals.

Anna Grace and Makena being silly at the Senior Citizen Bash at church.

Makena and I had a quick photo session one day.  I'm jealous of how photogenic she is!

Trey with his vampire pumpkin.

Carlie with her finished masterpiece.

They worked so hard.  I am just glad they are able to do it themselves now.

Trey's Saturday bowling scholarship league with their check from the Lions Club.

Trey finished this term in first place and with $100 in his scholarship fund.
He also got his invitation papers for a tournament in March, not counting the State tournament in April. He is also talking about trying out for the high school bowling team next year. I am excited for him to be more involved, especially since next year he will be my only homeschool student.


This sweet girl finished her first week of clinicals and decided that she wants to go apply for medical school in the fall of 2021.  I am so proud of her, no matter what she ends up doing. 


And this girl breaks my heart every time she tells me how much she wants to go to college in Florida.  She tells me how much she has prayed about it.  How do you argue with that?  I tell her that if that is where God wants her to be, he will make a way for her to be there. Maybe that is mom and dad's cue to make a move in a different direction (seriously).  She is waiting to take the ACT at the end of the month before she spends the money to apply there and one other college in state. I don't know what God has in store for her but I hope that she always has a heart to do His work.

Life is hard.
Smiling doesn't necessarily mean you're happy,
Sometimes it just means you're strong.
Just keep smiling.

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...

 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 ...
