I don’t feel like the last 2 weeks have been that eventful at least that’s not what’s showing up on my iphone camera rolls. Alex and Madison came over to discuss a potential cruise at Christmas. The night before Alex had to go to the ER to get 4 stitches in his forehead from a shelf falling on him at work. He’s ok, but sitting in the ER for…

Here we are for another weekly post. (August 7th-13th, 2023) I use Walmart pickup. I was so excited to see on the app recently where they give you the option to not have them put everything in bags. So I ended up ordering these and I really like them. So easy to bring inside and unload. The weekend before school started we went and heard the marching band play through all their stand tunes. It always gets us so excited for football. Drew, Caitlyn, and Bigsby came. We also brought Kayleigh. We finally got our hands on some of this…
Happy Friday! Here’s last week’s highlights (July 31-August 6, 2023)! Monday, Rob and I had lunch with Alex at the Savahn Thai Kitchen. Always enjoy my time with that boy.

My new favorite sparkling water for sure! This week back after vacay I really got back to cooking, but then after several nights of cooking I’m back to being burnt out with it. With that being said, when we got back from our trip, Rob was pretty sick. Caitlyn and Drew were so sweet to bring soup over for us that weekend.…

On Saturday, the 17th I flew to DFW, rented a car, and drove a little over an hour to my sister’s house in Weatherford, TX. My sister was due to have a baby the week of June 16th. However, Baby Lu came a month early, so I had to adjust my plans for a visit. Luckily nothing was set in stone with my trip so I was able to do it over a holiday (Juneteenth) weekend. I’ve taken solo trips to Texas before but this was the first time to rent a car on my own. I will say I…

They made enough for an army! I had…
