Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday!  It's unreal how fast that comes back around isn't it?!  I love the weekends not because I go out and do any kind of partying, but because it is a little bit of a break from school and work (sometimes).  We had a great weekend, but one thing that I didn't blog about on Friday was our fun trip to Arkadelphia.  Our church had a fish fry for the MBSF students and also for the students at Henderson State University.  Now, you may wonder, "why not Ouachita"?  Good question.  As it turns out, the Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship isn't exactly welcome on a private Southern Baptist campus.  Now the MBSF still serves students on both campuses, they just serve them at the Center (which is on the Ouachita side and right across from the Henderson campus).   

Here are a few pictures I took.  It isn't many because we were super busy.  

My two handsome cooks

Trey, Carl, and my dad

We are so thankful for all of our helpers!

Finally got to see Makena!
At this point it had been 10 days since she was home. 
 It doesn't sound like much but that is a lot for her.

I forgot that I snapped this picture of our pastor's kids, Michael and Liam.
In fact, I am pretty sure that I took a picture of everyone we took from our church except for me and our pastor's wife, Stacey. Oh well, maybe next time!

After we finished feeding the masses, we cleaned up our mess and all of the people on the church van left.  Carl, Trey, and I stayed and waited on the fish oil to cool so we could drain the cookers.  We went with Makena to the lake.  Like I said, it had been about 12 days since I had last seen her and I was wanting to spend all of the time I could with her because she was leaving on Friday for a trip with the Ouachita history department to visit some historical sights and museums in Mississippi (about 5 hours away for her).  She had a blast by the way, but she is ready to come home...it's almost been a month since she was here!
It was the most beautiful day.  Temperatures around 80 degrees and full sun!
Trey was trying to show Makena how to skip a rock when we drove down to the lake.

My 95lb mini horse
We love our B-Dawg, no matter his size.

Carlie sent me this last night.  Look at the dog's expression!
She and Caleb are working on Wrenley's room, and she was showing me that he got the bed put together, but when I saw Macy's face, all I could do was laugh.  Carlie is about 15 weeks along now and has started feeling the baby move.  I remember how precious that was!  Still haven't decided on a grandma name. I have a few more months :)

That pretty much sums up our weekend.  We did grill hamburgers on Saturday night and Carlie and Caleb came out and ate but I forgot to take any pictures.  It was a laid back weekend for the most part.  Remember that flooring that we bought in late January?  Well, it still isn't down yet.  We are one step closer to putting it down because Carl and Trey went and picked up the subflooring on Saturday morning. I guess I'm going to have to start nagging 😂 Maybe I'll have some before and after pictures to post at the end of the week.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week!

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...
