Life Lately

Hello again blogging world! After getting home from vacation, we had a couple of relaxing weeks and now it seems as if life has sped up a bit. At one moment I am having a pity party for myself as I look at the calendar and am disappointed not to see any weekend plans, and then the next weekend I am feeling stressed because of too much going on. Nothing is ever quite perfect.

I have been working full time the last couple weeks, which hopefully will be temporary. I realize that I have gotten spoiled with having a part-time job, but it really is so convenient to feel caught up around the house or prepare for company during the week. 

Thankfully I have still managed to check some items off of my to-do list.

I finally got our bedroom painted last week. After living in our house for almost six months, it was about time. It went from white to a light grey. It still has a ways to go as far as decorating, but I am glad to have the painting out of the way.

I also had been wanting to make a wreath for our front door. This wreath was surprisingly easy, and it adds a little charm to the front of our house.

Fall is so fun to decorate for! I hope you don't think I am pushing the season, but I want to enjoy my mums for as long as I can.

I was also privileged to take some senior pictures last week. I have know Olivia for years, and now she is all grown up. I remember her as a little kindergartner at Kingdom Academy, and now she is a beautiful young lady.

Here are a few of my favorites. She was fun to capture! Afterwards we went out for lunch and had a good chat. What a special girl. I am excited to see where God leads her in the future days after high school.

This post is short and sweet, but at least you know that I am still in existence. Goodbye to August and hello to September. Looking forward to what September has in store!
