Hello there my friends.
I hope you all are doing great and have had a wonderful week.
I have been lacking in the post department lately.
Honestly, it has been for a variety of reasons.
Mainly though, I have been in deep thought this week.
Everyone in my little family is doing just fine.
However, we are dealing with some issues at hand right now.
The hubs and I are being faced with making some difficult decisions for our family.
Decisions that are serious and not to be taken lightly.
I have been praying {day and night} for God to guide us in the right direction.
And, at the end of the day, I know he will.
That being said, I have a hard time "turning things over"
I know that THIS in fact is what FAITH is.
I have to trust.
Plain and simple.
With all of this going on, I just haven't been able to "make myself" blog.
My whole philosophy on this blogging thing is to be TRUE,
to MYSELF and to MY READERS.
I can't post a happy go lucky post, when I am totally not in that place.
Putting it simply, that is just not me.
So, for now I am here.
In a deep and reflective state.
Faced with some hard choices.
But, here.
:)
I have missed all of you and am so thankful to have you on my side.
Boy, did that sound all debbie downer, or WHAT?!
Sorry, again, just trying to keep it real with you all.
So, from deep and reflective issues to avocados we go.
:)
Seriously, we have been eating these things like C-ARAZY over here.
They are so yummy and in season right now,
so pick some up next time you visit the grocery store.
Mmmmmk.
Speaking of in season, pineapples are as well.
We pick one up everytime we are at the store.
They are SO delicious.
I made a fruit salad for us last weekend.
Full of pineapple, cantelope, nectarines and grapes.
It was eaten in about twenty minutes.
Tops.
Seriously. SO yummy!
Our little green tomato isn't so little anymore.
We check on her everyday.
Little man is dying to pick her!
Much to our surprise, she has two more growing above her on the vine.
Can't WAIT until they start turning ripening up!
:)
We planted some little white flowers on the patio out back.
They are doing really good so far.
We have had some really humid weather here in Texas.
The flowers and veges are thriving!
Our family has been enjoying our new firepit the hubs made for us.
The kids get so excited when we tell them we are building a fire.
They love to help gather the wood.
Their favorite part, by far, is roasting food {any kind} over the fire.
I see MANY more campfires in our future.
It has quickly become our favorite family activity.
We even sang around the campfire last weekend.
My song of choice {when I got the guitar}
Light My Fire.
;)
Oh no you di-int. Oh yes, I did.
Have a great weekend my peeps.
We are headed to antique alley this weekend and I can't WAIT!
Eeeeeek!
