Hurricane Sally and Books

 Just some of our life happenings lately....



Picture day for these babies. Picture day happened to fall on the same day that Hurricane Sally would start moving through our area that evening. We are not at all near the coast but we did get lots of rain and strong wind that night. Our neighborhood lost power around 8:30 PM and it was out for about 12 hours. Thankfully we didn't have any damage from this storm. This was a tiny inconvenience compared to what the people in hard hit hurricane areas have went through this year. We continue to keep them in our prayers. I remember Hurricane Opal as a child and the sound of that wind and the eye is something I will never forgot. We were without power for several days when Hurricane Opal came through. So with no power that night the kids and dogs camped out in our room. School was not delayed or canceled so getting ready for school the next day was an adventure with no power. We made it though and were extra thankful to come home to power that afternoon. 


I have started substitute teaching this year. I have mainly worked at the middle school and love it so much. 
 When my students are gone to PE or when I am waiting in car line for my kiddos I have gotten the chance to read. I love to read and I am thankfully I am getting to do it more lately.  



This is a fun romance with lots and twists and turns you don't expect. I look forward to reading more of this series. 




I saw one of my students reading this and was intrigued by the cover. This book will stay with you and touch your heart. So many emotions. 





I also love a good thriller/ mystery. I forgot to take a picture of this book. It was great and I can't wait to read more from this author. 




Have a wonderful week!

Hope

Pumpkin Patch 2020

 We visited our local pumpkin patch yesterday. We were not able to go last year, so we were so happy to go this year. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny 70 degree day. It was very bright outside so it was hard to keep our eyes open for pictures. Haha.  We had so much fun in the corn maze, walking through the sunflower field, and playing in the big hay stack. We got to share some of our favorite foods boiled peanuts and nachos. Before we left we rode the hayride to pick our pumpkins and finished up the day with a funnel cake. I am so thankful for these sweet memories with my family. We will carve our pumpkins tonight and get ourselves prepped for the week ahead. I hope you have a wonderful week! Hope 

10

 I have neglected my little corner of the internet lately but I am back to post more life updates.  One major event was at the end of September this special boy turned 10! How in the world have ten years passed since this precious boy entered our lives?!?!? Chris and I wanted a baby so much. We prayed for this sweet boy for over a year. After a year of trying and some help from modern medicine we got a our gift from God in the form of our precious Brody Reid.  I miss the days of watching Dino Dan and Team Umizoomi with him, but it is amazing watching him grow into the big kid he is. Now his days are filled with soccer and Fortnite, but he hasn't lost his love for dinosaurs or Pokemon. We are so very blessed to raise this smart, funny, kind hearted boy.   Have a blessed week! Hope
