The last time that I caught you up on life lately was in July, so guess what? It’s time to get you caught up again…
…all the way back to the second to last weekend of October.
Reeana and I met up for margaritas at Fuzzys with some chips and guacamole. She obviously knows the way to my heart. A margarita or a mimosa..sign me up for both! We planned to go to our high school’s volleyball game against our rivals and we ended up spending the night laughing about high school and old memories and our coach.
That Saturday night my co-worker got married. Let’s all swoon over her cake here for a second.
I MEAN…if I could’ve had some I totally would have told you how amazing it was.
I have some of the best co-workers.
Adam is a hoot and a half. He had me cracking up all night! Love him!
The next week came and went…you already heard about that Friday.
So Halloween night had me spread out on the couch covered in blankets, watching Scandal, and eating WAY too much Halloween candy. Because I could. And because it was the perfect Saturday night.
Randomly around 9:00 the trick-or-treaters stopped coming. I mean, seriously so sad because even when I went out nobody was walking around either! Where are they?! I got a random craving for some coffee and hit up Starbucks for an Americano.
And then I forgot how much I missed my coffee after not having it for a while…
…that I went the next day, which meant THE RED CUP IS BACK! Happy November 1st!
I recently started volunteering on Wednesday nights for our Church’s youth group. I had been praying about this for a while and just felt called to be a leader for high school girls. I remember that time in my life and wish I would have had a college student as a leader as a Godly example or just someone to talk to. I was placed with freshman girls and have been going about 3 weeks. Praise Jesus for answering prayers and giving me exactly what I was praying for. I now have 4 years with these girls and know that it will challenge me in the best way possible. I mean, lifting my hands to praise Jesus with at least 100 high school and middle school students is exactly the thing that makes my heart the happiest.
It’s been rainy and getting colder here. I feel like class shouldn’t be held if it’s raining. Can we make this a rule? Government?
Last Thursday, Ry texted me to tell me the high school volleyball playoff game was that night. I asked him if he was going and he said “if you do then I will” so I told him to get mom to bring him to my school and i’d take him since I was still in class. So…I spent my Thursday night at the volleyball court again. This is the best picture I could get with him š¦
I spent my Friday, Saturday, and Sunday reading Candace Cameron Bure’s book “Dancing Through Life”. I just bought another one of her books too. Come back for Bookworm Wednesday to hear what I thought about them š
Put yo’ hands in the air if you love Fridays! I spent this past weekend hanging out with Jonathan, his friends, and his brother!
I’m pretty sure I wore this outfit all weekend too and I have #noshame. It was so comfy and perfect for our weather here in TX.
Now you’re caught up. Aren’t you glad?! Me too š

That cake is STUNNING, if such a word can be used to describe it. I need margaritas and/or coffee in an IV to handle the rest of this wee. And I love that you stepped into the role that you have been praying after! You will be such a blessing to those girls! I LOVED my small group leaders when I was in high school š
