A little of this and that...

I woke up this morning feeling... IT'S FRIDAY... ugh it's not. It's only Wednesday. I guess after 2 crazy days with an eye doctor and an attempt at the dentist it feels like I have lived a week's worth in 2 days. Or maybe, and also, I am just so entirely ready for our fall break next week that I am wishing it was the end of this one. In that break we get an actually vacation home. Grandpa is getting married and we get to go, enjoy fall temps and colors, and old friends. We can't wait!

So much has been gone on here I got to thinking about home and where we were at a year ago. Unbelievable the amount of change God has brought us to and through. Can I just say I think this last year has by far been the craziest we have ever had!? It has been! A year ago we were 3 days away from my husband hoping on a plane for an interview that lead to our new journey. One that we had faith God had control of but his mercies through it all... bountiful! Now, here we are again on the horizon of more change and more dependance on God. He is working in overwhelmingly mind blowing ways. We are in awe of him!

I am realizing though I am looking forward to a school year that is not interrupted with boxes and chaos. It's getting hard on us all. I see the light at the end of the tunnel it's just figuring out how to make it there that is the question at hand. I have realized though that once this crazy busy comes to end soon I will looking and praying about different curriculum that is more family geared vs individual grade. I pray that will make the days go more smoothly and bring more to the table for my bored Kindergartener to do/learn.

Ooh, on a fun note... I made Marissa's homemade sweet tea this week... MASSIVE HIT HERE!!! Thanks for sharing girlie!!!! We LOVE it!! And if you love sweet tea as much as we do you absolutely have to try this! You won't regret it! :) I also have made homemade coffee creamer recently too. Another hit. Yay, no longer needing to buy at the store!!

The days are cooling some here, especially in the mornings. I am missing though the fog, the changing colors, and all that comes with my favorite time of this. I am leaning more and more to God for understanding on the why he took us away from where we were. The part of the country our hearts sprang alive to this time of year. I'm reminded his thoughts are better than mine and I will find serenity here as well. I just need to look for it. Until then I will look back at pictures and close my eyes to pretend the awesome fall feeling here. ;)

Well, I suppose since today is NOT Friday I should get breakfast and school started. It's another big day here and a late start might not help anyone. So until later... when maybe that day will actually be Friday. lol

Coffee anyone!?
