We began the month of November with a wedding! Carlie's roommate from college, Destini got married and invited all of us! Unfortunately, Makena had to head back to school and Trey was sick. Carl and I took Wrenley and Caleb to the wedding because Carlie had to be with the other bridesmaids. Wrenley was also in the wedding as a flower girl. Destini is a very sweet girl, and we are so glad that she and Carlie met and became friends.
My forever wedding dateđź’—
Carlie and Wrenley
Caleb and Wrenley
We kind of love her :)
This past weekend was my mom and Carlie's birthdays. Carlie was my 35 week-er. She was only 4lbs and 12 oz. and a tiny 18 inches long. I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to bring her home right away, but thankfully that wasn't the case. She was a really fussy baby, and a super busy, smart, non-sleeping toddler.... but every bit of that was worth it. Wrenley reminds me so much of her as a toddler. I am very proud of her. She is an amazing wife and mother, and she is very career oriented. She is pretty much supermom in my eyes. Happy 23rd Birthday, Carlie Erin!!
My mom is also a super woman! She is taking care of my grandmother and her dog for the majority of the time, looking out for dad, her kids, and her grandkids. She plays a large role in our church and all of the activities there. I love her so much. Happy Birthday, Mom!!
Makena is busy with schoolwork, playing bass in the praise band on Tuesday nights, and helping out with our Christmas Program at our church when she is home. She is a very busy lady! We were glad she made it home for the birthday celebration :)
Trey is still getting his schoolwork done in the morning and then goes to work in the afternoons (1-5). He is also super excited about hunting. Gun season opened on Saturday and both Carl and Trey went hunting. They saw a few does but not that big buck they were hoping for!
Sadly, Trey illuded all of my pictures.
This fall I have challenged myself to focus on all God has done for me; to share with others about God's goodness to me, focus on my blessings, and let His joy take control of my life and be in charge of my heart and attitude.
"Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all He has done." Colossians 2:17B
Much Love,
Beth
