WHAT'S UP IN MY LIFE

Hey guys! It has been FOREVER since I've done a life update. Actually, it's been forever since I've done a post. Hehe...*crickets chirping* Anyway, today I thought that I would update y'all on what's been going on in my life :)

WHAT'S UP IN MY LIFE

- So I've been staying VERY busy with my job. I normally pick Christopher up from school around 3:10 and then I take him back to his house. I help him with his homework, make him and his family dinner, and then after washing dishes I come home. And until their cleaning lady comes back, I've also been in charge of cleaning their house. Which is a BIG job because their house is so HUGE!
But I've been making some extra money working those extra hours, so that's been nice.


- I've been doing a lot more reading. Last month and this month combined I've read almost four books. I know that's not a lot for some people, but it's a lot for me, considering how busy I've been :)


- And a lot of cooking and baking. For my job I cook dinner for them almost every night. And then I've cooked a few meals and goodies for my family. But I love cooking and baking!


- We had some friends come and stay a few days with us. Their sister's appendix ruptured so while she was in the hospital, they came and stayed with us.
The doctors said that if her immune system wasn't any stronger, that she might not have made it, so we thank the Lord that she's ok.
But we had such a fun time with them while they were with us!! We just didn't get very much sleep. One night we didn't get to bed until FIVE A.M! Let's just say we were VERY tired. But it was a lot of fun!!

- I've been trying to stay hydrated to see if it helps any with my acne. So I downloaded this app on my phone that sends you little reminders to drink water every few hours, and you can keep track of how much water you're drinking on there. So every day I've been trying to drink 65 oz of water. Most days I meet my goal :)


- Kris and I have also been doing these face masks that our friends ↑↑ told let us try out. They are a lot of fun to use and they leave your face glowing and feeling so clean. Mama even tried them. We couldn't stop laughing because we looked hilarious!! :D


- We had a super bad storm come through (which were the effects of Hurricane Michael) a few weeks ago and we lost power. Thankfully it was only for six hours. Some friends of ours lost power for a few days!
Maybe I'm weird, but I think it's kinda fun to lose power sometimes. My family always goes in our den together and turns on candles or flashlights or lanterns. It's fun just being together :)


- It is FINALLY starting to feel like Fall!! This week it has been in the 50's and 60's. And a few nights it's gotten down to the 30's! So Kris and I along with Gideon took a walk around our property a few days ago. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! The only thing is our leaves haven't really started changing colors yet and it's already almost November o_o

- I've been trying to get back into taking pictures on my camera. Since I got my phone, I've been mostly taking my pictures on there. But I missed my camera. So a few days ago I pulled it out again and I started taking pictures with it again.

- We've all been busy doing things around the house. We've (meaning Daddy) has started painting our house. It definitely needs a repainting. It'll definitely take a while though. Especially since we're doing it all ourselves. But it'll look so nice when it's all finished!

- We've already started Christmas shopping! My family are VERY early Christmas shoppers. But I like being that way!
And Christmas music officially starts playing on the radio in three weeks!! I CANNOT wait!!
