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

First Day of School 2020

 On Monday my babies started back to school. In these uncertain times we had different options on how we would begin school this year. We could do virtual public school, go back to the traditional classroom, or homeschool. At this point my husband and I decided that it would be best for our kiddos to be back in the traditional classroom. There isn't an easy choice about school in these crazy times. Our school is smaller, they are wearing masks, and taking social distancing precautions. We have prayed about our decision and feel we did what is best for our family. I am praying for the parents out there that are having to make choices about what to for school this year, please know I respect whatever choice you make and I know it's not easy.   How did my babies grow up so fast!?! Brody's first last day of elementary school. 4th grade Evie's first day of 2nd grade.  I hope you all have a wonderful week! Hope 

Just a Few Things I Am Thankful For

 Just a few things I am thankful for Polka dot rain boots and pretty leaves while running errands. Pretty fall flowers from my sweet hubby. A cute hat for days I don't want to fix my hair. Also a happy puppy waiting for her people to get out of school.  I hope your week is going wonderfully! Hope
