Castaway

See that face? That’s the face of a girl with no more cast and a new dress form the thrift store. A sleeveless dress that I actually got to wear in November because it was close to 80 degrees today!

Cue the happy dance! I went to my follow-up appointment with an orthopedic doctor for my hand and he said he thinks my bone is just severely bruised.

He said I could have my hand in a splint or just have it bare as long as I take it easy. So, I’m a castaway! That thing went straight in the garbage 😉 I’m definitely still in some pain, but so excited to be free!

Sadie says hello!

She was enjoying being barefoot when I took this picture. The poor girl has been having a tough week so far. She has been fussy and clingy I can’t figure out if she’s getting her two-year molars, has an ear infection, or is just feeling off. Poor gal. 

Is anyone else getting super excited for Thanksgiving? Now that we’re in the double digits of November I’m in Thanksgiving mode! We’re going to have a family Thanksgiving night with just Jimmy, Sadie, and I the week before the actual holiday and I can’t wait. 

Are there any recipes that you make for Thanksgiving or fall in general? I’d love to hear about them! 

Here are a few of my favorites:

All Sorts of Exciting Things

Hello! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Ours was filled with all sorts of excitement. 

First of all, my sister had her anatomy scan on Friday and it’s a boy! My first nephew! I am beyond excited. Hannah and Josh are naming him Lawson. Also, he was healthy and doing great. God. is. good. 

Jimmy, Sadie, and I had our second family movie night on Friday. We watched Frozen this time. Sadie sings “Let It Go” so adorably. Her version sounds like she’s saying “Ladel-doooh!” and I love it.

On Saturday, my sister put on a Mary Kay party at my parents’ house and we had a blast fellowshipping with ladies from our church and trying out different skincare and makeup products.

Hannah has that pregnancy glow going on!

After the party, Hannah, Josh, and their daughter went to Cracker Barrel with us for dinner and then we went to the thrift store to check out all the boy clothes 🙂

Sadie and Caroline had almost as much fun running around the store as Hannah and I did looking at all things blue, lol!

Our Sunday was spent at church in the morning, gearing up for the week by cooking and cleaning in the afternoon, and then back to church in the evening. 

My dad taught the Bible school lesson in the morning and did an awesome job discussing John 15. 

Preaching and teaching at church

The evening sermon was fabulous, too. It was all about the Bible and just how cohesive and inerrant it is. It’s filled with 66 books that were written by 40 authors in three languages over 1,500 years. There’s no book like it! 

Tell me about your weekend!
