My Week In Pictures

This past week we had to make an emergency trip to Texas for the hubs's grandfather's funeral. It was a "quick" trip. "Quick" meaning we left Tuesday night at 8:30pm and drove the 14 hours through the night. It was rough. Driving through the night is always rough. It was only compounded by having to be at the church at 11:30. So we got to his aunt's house at 9:00am, the hubs took a little nap while I got Bug ready. Then it was off to the church to be with the family for the rest of the day. Finally, we got back to his aunt's house and crashed. All three of us. We woke up the next morning and prepared for the long drive back. This time though, we planned to drive through the day. So we left her house at around noon and started the drive back. We made multiple - fun - stops along the way.

Bug was Miss Fuss-butt and the only way I got any packing done was to wear her. Man, I love my Ergo!

Finally getting to the hubs's aunt's house, she was so happy to be out of the car and running around!

I love Texas sunsets.

Entertained at Cracker Barrel on the way home.

We stopped in West Monroe, Louisiana to visit the beards of Duck Dynasty. No beard sitings, but we had fun walking at the store. We even got Bug a "happy happy happy" onesie. 

We stopped at the Mississippi River and walked around.

I love wearing my girl!

Such a beautiful sunset over the Mississippi river. I loved getting to share this with my girl.

Sweet moments that I will cherish forever.

A Week In Review - A New Link Up!

10 August - 16 August

This week has been very...difficult. I have had a cold for most of the week, and now Bug has a cold. Sunday was a long day of work, and that coupled with being sick and a cluster headache, I was not a very fun person to be around. It breaks my heart that Bug now has a cold too. So we have really laid low this week. The weather the past few days has been glorious. Who knew it could be in the 70s in the middle of August in Georgia! Bug and I definitely took advantage of the weather and spent some time walking outside. Along, with the sickness, there's a lot of other stuff going on. Choices that need to be made. I'm not ready to go into full detail about everything, but there has been a lot placed on our plates. Right now, we're just trusting God to get us where we need to be. To put everyone's minds at ease, we are all okay, we're just having to rely on God for a lot of things right now. And that's okay. He has everything planned for us. We're just waiting on doors to be opened.

On a good note: Bug said her first word! "Mama!" My heart is soaring sky high to hear my little girl say "mama." The hubs was giving her a hug before he left for work and she wanted to come back to me. I told her "not before you say 'mama'." And by golly, she said "mama" right then and there! I can't make this stuff up people! My heart is so incredibly happy right now.

She refused to lay down in her crib, so Mommy's chest would have to do. I don't think she was complaining. bottom left://The hubs took an extra day off work for our anniversary, so we went and wandered around the new outlet malls. It was 68*F outside. 68*F. In August. In Georgia. bottom right://Bug is so close to crawling! It'll be just a matter of days before she's following me around everywhere.
