Thursday - I really need to plan....I have no idea
Friday - probably pizza again :)
What I'm reminiscing about...............
Wearing boots and long sleeve shirts....counting down until fall weather!
What I'm loving..............
I love getting off work at 2:30 and being home in the afternoons with my girls.
What we've been up to............
We have been in school transition stage this month. Brook began high school, Isabella began her senior year of high school taking classes at a community college, and Avery began taking a class to work towards a masters degree.
What I'm dreading...............
I am dreading a little more heat until fall temperatures are here to stay.
What I'm working on...............
My mom and I are hosting a wedding shower for my niece next month.
What I'm excited about.................
I am excited about an upcoming long weekend! I am also looking forward to fall, pumpkins, pumpkin bread, fall candles....you know, all that stuff!
What I'm watching................
As a family, we enjoy watching you tube clips from late night tv shows and will often watch episodes of The Office.
What I'm listening to...................
On my way to work, I listen to Greg Laurie of Harvest.org every morning. On the way home, I listen to either another podcast or 80's radio. When I am in the car with the girls, we listen to top 40 music, Harry Styles or Elvis.
What I'm wearing............
I wear jeans 3 out 5 days to work. I am thankful for a casual dress code!
What I'm doing this weekend...............
Our plan is to tear up some bathroom tile and install new tile in the guest bathroom and hallway. I also will do some painting in the hallway.
What I'm looking forward to next month.............
2 days off work!! The upcoming Labor Day holiday is a day off for me and also we have another weekend trip planned for September.....our first college visit for Isabella!
What else is new...............
I am just extremely proud and thankful for my family and they way they transition to new things. The past 4 years have been full of transitions for our family.....moving to another country, learning a new language, making new friends, leaving a country, moving back to the USA, starting over with a new home, Isabella driving, me going back to work full time, Brook starting public school, Avery starting graduate school and Isabella starting her senior year classes at a community college. Y'all...that is a lot. It hasn't been easy. It's been with hardships, tears, financial stress, yet it has also been filled with laughter and growth. Of course, we owe everything to God's provision and faithfulness to us. He has never forsaken us along the way. Just wanted to share how thankful I am that the Lord has helped to persevere through these transitions. He is a good, good Father.
Our family has been watching "fails" on YouTube... the favorite seems to be boating/ tubing fails but they are all pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm clicking over to your blog from Friday Favorites, and looking forward to following along. Your last paragraph about all the transitions your family has been through sounds familiar. We lived overseas (in England) for three years, but have now been back in Texas for four years. I also have teen children. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts.
