Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Martine]

Hi friends,
Enjoyed catching up with you all this weekend, sounds like the cooler weather will be making its way over soon! I've been very sad this weekend... My sisters 17 year old springer passed away this weekend, she was like our second dog we often watched her while they were out of town. Even though she was older she loved chasing Gandalf around, they were best friends. We will miss her so much and I know Gandalf will too. Today i'm defrosting some cookie dough from the freezer and bringing them over warm cookies, flowers, and I made some prints of the dogs playing together. My little nephew who is 5 really misses his pup too.

I’m very sorry to read about your sister’s fur baby passing away. Sending lots of positive thoughts their way and to you as well.

Good Sunday afternoon, friends!!

Hope you’re all having a nice weekend so far!

Harlowe & I have been having a great time in my hometown, with family.
My cousin‘s baby shower was beautiful yesterday! And as always, lots of laughter ensued!!

Last night, my dad grilled out and my sister came over to join us. Harlowe and Jazzie enjoyed the time exploring the backyard, and chasing squirrels

It’s another hot and humid day here, but some rain tomorrow is supposed to bring in a cool down. Fingers crossed.

I am seeing a few trees leaves already changing! While I love that in some ways, I really want a long fall so I am hoping that still happens.

Once we get back home, we plan to spend some time with Adrian and also take a long walk later this evening, once it cools down enough.

Wishing you all a relaxing rest of your Sunday~

I'm glad that you and Harlowe enjoyed your time back home!
Save travels back to Adrian!
Have a merry week!

Hi friends! I’ve been MIA the past couple weeks, I know, but my family and I have been busy - camping and do other various things together. The kids go back to school a week from tomorrow.

I could use some prayers for tomorrow. I have a job interview, which will take me on a slight different path then what I am used to, but it’s still in nursing. I would be all daylight, no weekends, or holidays, which as my kids get older, I want more and more. If they offer me a job, it’s mainly go to depend on pay and benefits, but we’ll see how it goes!

I hope all is well with each one of you! Hope you’ve all had a great weekend!

Merry Sunday!

Feeling rather drained today ~ had a headache most of the weekend. It is still there, but not nearly as bad as yesterday!

The weather forecast on yesterday had us listed for 90% chance of rain on Tuesday and today it is down to 70%. The last time it was that high, there wasn't enough rain to cover the bottom of a bucket. I'm hoping for an all day soaker ~ we sure do need it!

Have a merry week!

Hello all.

It has been a busy day. Trying to get everything done before school starts this week. Tomorrow is Open House and then my school starts on Tuesday. My wife starts on Wednesday.

I have completed my thesis! A week early no less! I submitted it this evening and it will be read by 2 professors who will then provide feedback for any needed edits. Then I will have a week to complete those edits and send it back in for final approval. It ended up being 127 pages including intro stuff and bibliography. I am so glad to have it done! Now is the waiting for the grade part. lol

I hope everyone had a good weekend.
Enjoy the start of your week!
