The Weekend: Super Busy Edition

 Hey friends! Hope you all had a good weekend. It was a very fast-paced one here on the homestead.  

Friday night we had a baby shower for a friends daughter at our church. Like I mentioned in my previous post, it was a small group. It was a nice shower.

                Me with Bonnie and Makena Faith

Saturday was just going to be an ordinary day. Carl had to work because one of his co-workers was out of town. We were just trying to soak up every last minute with our sweet Makena Faith. I knew that Caleb and Carlie were going to a fancy restaurant..one that requires super nice clothes. I was also aware that the day after we returned from vacation Carlie's boyfriend, Caleb had talked with Carl about marrying Carlie. I had been holding that secret inside for almost a week (Makena and Trey knew and I finally told my mom on Friday). Sure enough Saturday was the day. She sent me a picture of her ring and a plate of dessert that said "Congratulations and Best Wishes". We are super proud and excited for her. 

The future Mrs. Price ❤❤

I snapped this one before they left.
They are so cute together!

Sunday was *church day* like it is every week.  I had Caleb take a picture of our family right after church. I'm over here commemorating all of the lasts and Makena says, "Mom, you do realize that I'll be back in two weeks, right?". That makes me feel a little better (I guess!). 

I love these people so much!


We had lunch with my family at my parent's house. The only picture I took was of Ellie Kate and Makena Faith.
These two are cousin buddies

I took a quick nap after lunch and Carl had to head back out to the farm.  Thankfully his co-worker came back Sunday afternoon and he didn't have to check his water because we had an anniversary party to go to for my grandparents after church.  They are celebrating 70 years of marriage!  I am thankful for the example that they have set for our family and I am also thankful for the time my kids have had with them.  Grammy is slowly declining and it is so sad to watch (dementia is an awful disease) and Papa will be 92 in two weeks! They are so precious to us.


Trey and my cousin Shane played "Living on Love" by Alan Jackson. They did a great job.

It was a busy weekend, and a fun weekend.  I am refraining myself from starting all the wedding things until college move-in weekend is finished. Part of me wishes I could just fast forward all of the sadness of leaving my sweet Makena Faith and push play on when she comes back home in a couple of weeks.  

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 his wings.  He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

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 say we went swi
