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

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
