Life update: October 2024

Hey y’all,

I’ve been trying to write this post for a couple of weeks now but it seems that we’ve been getting hit with one thing after another around here lately.

My heart has been breaking over the pictures and stories from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene… I know that Mother Nature throws us curve balls and we can’t possibly prepare for everything that could happen but we really need to try to have the basic supplies on hand for whatever emergency might come our way.

I love you enough…

I saw this on FB and just had to share:

We’ve been working really hard around the house and the property even before we knew that we’d be having some very special celebrations happening here. One of the areas that we started on was what the kids are calling ‘The Secret Garden’… I guess it’s not really a secret now because I’m telling everyone about it but I won’t tell them that. It’s also not really ‘hidden’ yet but as the plants fill in it will be a bit more of a secret spot.

What have we done???

Hey ya’ll, we hope everyone had a great 4th!

When I last sat down to write I had shared some of the updates on the house and how we had been decluttering… it felt so good! We finally felt like we could relax and get comfy in our home but then we kept seeing all the little things that we needed to finish.
