From November 3–16, the days were filled with projects, gatherings, and small but meaningful moments. Here’s a quick glimpse as I continue to play catch up.

Life has been moving fast lately, and blogging honestly slipped my mind. Still, I don’t want to fall too far behind on sharing updates. My last biweekly post covered Weeks 39–40, and I’m skipping Weeks 41 & 42 since those were spent on our cruise. So today, I’m picking back up with Weeks 43 & 44, spanning October 20 through November 2.

Back in November, I planned and organized a baby shower for Caitlyn. The theme was “A Little Cutie Pie is on the way!” I have never thrown a baby shower and it was so much fun planning and creating all the things. It was a lot of work, but I know she loved it so much, so it was definitely worth it. I have linked to as many items we used at the bottom of the post. If there’s anything I left off, feel free to comment below. Here’s what the invitation looked like. I designed them on Canva. I…

Last Tuesday after work, we headed towards Texas, planning to spend the night in Shreveport to break up the trip since its a 12 hour drive. We ended up having a delay when Google Maps told us to take a detour near Selma. We went over some railroad tracks and ended up going over a pot hole that gave us a flat tire. There was another car that had pulled over who had also gotten a flat tire. Long story short, God paved the way for us to get our tire switched to the spare and got a new tire…

+ I’m going to share about Caitlyn’s baby shower soon, but late last week, I made some Gluten Free mini-pies for that. + Saturday night, we brought the crib/mini crib and mattress over to Drew and Caitlyn’s house and they put the mini-crib together. + Sunday, we had the great opportunity to go with Drew & Caitlyn to a 4d Ultrasound. It was so sweet and I was moved to tears. Even though we didn’t get to see her face because she was turned and had her legs and hands in front of her face. + Tuesday was voting day…

+ We went to the Men’s basketball game exhibition game on Friday night. Big win and seeing good things for our team. + Wednesday afternoon I had to run to Big Lots and the sunset was gorgeous. + Sunday night, dinner at Walk-Ons with Rob discussing the big week ahead. + Wednesday night, Drew and I went to see Straight No Chaser at the Gogue. + One night, I was at Walmart late getting some stuff for Caitlyn’s baby shower. I found this book that goes with her shower theme; “Cutie Pie” and I had to get it.

November was actually a long month for me, but then again I still can’t believe it’s almost December. It’s the Christmas season and I’m just not sure I’m ready for that. LIFE Happenings We had our yearly crawl space inspection and its a good thing because the pipe coming from our kitchen sink had a huge hole in it. Perhaps professionals, who may know the cost to jet sewer line, can fix that. This meant that everything from the sink including all the stuff from the disposal was emptying out into the crawl space. Yuck! Luckily we were able to…

Man, I can’t believe we’ve only got a few more weeks in the year! Here’s the run down for Nov. 29-Dec. 12, 2021. Still finding tomatoes in the garden! Alex has been enjoying doing puzzles in front of the tv. We went to the tree farm and it started pouring down when we got there. We waited it out and ended up getting a tree! Our tradition is to go eat Chinese afterwards. On top of Christmas decorating, shopping, baking, and all that go with this season, we’re preparing for our cruise.

The week before Thanksgiving wasn’t too crazy. Look at this adorable Gnome I got from Walmart dot com by accident. Put it in my cart on the Walmart app and when I went to put my pickup order in I accidentally pressed buy from both carts or something. I realized it a few minutes after getting the confirmation email. A snapchat from Caitlyn of her and Drew at the AU Men’s Basket ball game. Buster and Kayleigh playing How cute is Buster?!?! Last Monday Rob and I were going to meet for lunch. I had a few minutes to spare…
