Welcome Monday!

Welcome Monday....

So glad to see you...

Praying you are the beginning of a GREAT new week....

So far, so good...
My Monday started off waking up next to my Mr... :)
Then, some cuddle-time with my Missy kitty...
Some time with my Lord in His word & prayer...

And....NOT having to feed the animals...because my Mr. was home!
Making it to work on time...putting the last minute touches on my classroom before it came alive with happy smiles of 3 year olds....

A fun day of easel painting...green trees or red stockings...
Miss Susy's homemade Olive Garden Potato soup..
hugs, hugs, & more hugs...

Animals that greet me as I pull into my drive-way with their own sounds....
Starting a wood fire to take the chill off our home
Spaghetti, Corn & garlic bread for dinnner...and still a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert :)

And...to end the day...my Mr. coming home again :)

Mmmm...thank YOU Monday for a great start !!!

So how was your Monday??? I'm so hoping it started your week off with a smile and warm heart too..... Sweet blessings!

Wow!

Wow! I can't believe it's almost the end of November, and I haven't posted since September...WOW! What can I say...it just sometimes feels like my life is spinning faster than I can keep up....it's all good....

Oh, oh...I've already used two of my husbands favorite words and I haven't even really started this post :) (In case you're wondering his favorite word for the past year has been WOW...however, he doesn't really use it in the right way..or the way it was designed to be used :) and his second favorite saying...it's all good!)

I wish I could say I'm using those words because I've been spending TOO MUCH time with my husband... but, unfortunately that's just not true. His life seems to be even more out of control than mine...!!!

So here's the top 10 from the last month and a half :)

1. Farmer's Markets are DONE...they ended on October 30th!!!
2. Preschool is going amazing this year....perfect, sweet, wonderful classes :)
3. My first market free weekend...I ended up with some kind of bug...ughhhh!
4. I was blessed to join my husband at the Washington Cattlemen's meeting...at the Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum...(sooo happy about that...it was on my list of places for my Mr. to take me :) And, it's soooo beautiful there...they even have a spa, lots of walking trails, golf, a huge indoor pool....definitely a great place to vacation!!!) I didn't get to indulge in the spa, but I did get to take a nice walk on the trails ! And...you know what...I LOVE Cattle people...they are just so REAL...no clean, fancy rigs at that gathering....only dirty, well-used work trucks...but, they do clean up real nice themselves :) Baxter Black was the entertainment...and I think I could listen to him forever (he's a cowboy poet) because every story he tells I think I've already lived !!!
5. My college girlfriend and I FINALLY got our yearly girl's trip to the Tri-Cities....
6. Cows got moved....to one pasture all together...a new bull joined the family...and finally they got worked....(which I could truly write a chapter itself on...but, I'll refrain :)!!! And, just today, they are finally making it to their winter feeding spot ....
7. SNOW came..and so did snow days...which I use to LOVE in my previous life without animals!
8. Over & over again I've been blessed by sweet friends, great conversations, and prayer partners!
9. The woodstove has been going strong...so, thankful for that warmth!
10. Spending time with my family....always feels good

And, there are sooo, soooo many things I'm thankful for....and each day God shows me something new to add to that list!

I'm so hoping that I can find more time to share parts of my story with you....and this adventure called life we all seem to be on ....most of all...wishing each of you the BEST month of December ever! Sweet blessings!
