Oh how I love fall break! Today I was off and the kids and Scott weren't. I got caught up on some shopping, checked out JoAnn's (new craft store in town~YIPPPEEE) it is not Hobby Lobby but way better than anything we have here, and ran a few errands.
Jordan asked me to pick her up for lunch today. My parents have been in their Louisiana house for a month. Mom came back today and we surprised Jordan by her being at lunch! It was so fun. Jordan said oh look Nana and Papa are here. Then came hahahahahaha. "Wouldn't it be funny if they really were here?" And then we walked into Kim's Place and there she was! Jordan was so excited. We will be glad for my dad to get home this weekend.
I have been super busy with photography the past few weeks. I love it! The next two months will be filled with people wanting pics for cards and Christmas. I love this time of the year.
Jacob went to Tulsa today with two friends to record some music. Pretty neat! He is all teenage boy. Never home. But I am glad he is active!
Jessica got a new car!!!! A 2012 Ford Focus. Freedom Ford in McAlister is amazing. They are so good to ministers and their families. I am so thankful for them!
Scott has been hunting in the mornings and evenings. He hasn't gotten a deer yet, but he will! He always does. It gives us hamburger meat for the year which is so nice!
I have been reminded many times the last few weeks of God's divine interventions in our lives. I was also bopped in the head a few times. It is amazing seeing how God uses us. I was complaining about a situation in my life and I have had the opportunity to minister to and share with someone that otherwise would have never been able to! I have two new students who at first I was a little grumpy about. They have brought so much joy and laughter to our class. I am working on being thankful in all things. Knowing God has a plan and my best interest at heart. I hope that makes sense.
Tonight was one of those nights where Jess, my baby girl came bebopping in from being at a friend's after her wisdom teeth surgery, that I just lost it. I know I know. She is going to OBU. In town. But I think the thing I grieve the most is that I know it will never be the same when she goes. Our family will forever be changed. And I love how my family is now!!! I love that she has grown into an amazing young lady and so excited for her adventures at OBU, but man I am going to miss her!
