Weekend Rewind

 Hey guys! Guess what this week is? 

It's wedding week! All of the fun festivities started on Friday night, with the wedding shower at our church. 








She had such a good shower. We had the back of her jeep, my acadia, and Caleb's truck full of stuff. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is absolutely no family like church family. 

Saturday was the opening day of modern gun season. If you come from a hunting family, you'll know that this is pretty much a holiday. Carl and Trey went hunting at the farm, Carlie and Caleb went to his deer camp, and me and my home girl Makena stayed in bed until 9! Nobody got a deer that morning.  Carl spent half of the afternoon building the arch for the wedding.

It is very similar to this.

He got a good start but *hunting was calling* so they went back to the woods. Carlie and Makena went to Little Rock for Carlie's bachelorette party with her friends. 





They had a lot of fun! 

T-Man got a deer. Carl would have rather him not have shot a doe yet but he was hunting on his own this year. He said he had watched them for a long time and he couldn't stand it any longer!
He was pumped!

While they were hunting and partying, I was at home doing nothing. I had the worst headache all day. The pain in the back of my head and neck made it difficult to do much. I couldn't even sleep. So I binge watched Netflix. I finished The Tiger King and Outer Banks. When the boys got back we rode to town and got Chinese. 

I was so happy that I woke up feeling better on Sunday. We packed Operation Christmas Child boxes Sunday afternoon. Makena had to go back to school. She has 7 school days left on campus! 

I am thankful for this beautiful weekend. 
I know it will be a busy week full of wedding "stuff". 
Say a little prayer for us❤

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...
