Thursday Encouragement 11/20/25

It has been a long week! I am thankful it is Wednesday and the weekend is in sight! Our house is officially sold, with all the obstacles removed and we will be closing in a few short weeks. We have looked at 8 houses so far this week, in between working and going our regular things. While we are ready to find our next new home, we are trying not to rush into anything.

We had snow for the first time this season. I was not ready, but it was pretty! We still have a little snow on the ground, but each day has been progressively getting warmer, so it will be gone soon. If you are following along on the house saga, we are officially under contract again, but they still have to sell their house. We are praying that their house sells and they fulfill the contract to buy ours, and that God would provide the right house for us, in His timing.

My Year in Pictures October 2025

October went fast! And I feel like November is starting to get away from me as well. 

I first saw this idea on Jennifer's blog and thought it was a great idea. The idea is to pick one photo from the month, a photo to highlight the month. Jennifer is using the photo to recap the month and at the end of the year see a recap of the year.

This has been an incredibly long week...one more day, I think we can. We have had five showings in three days. It has been exhausting but we are so thankful there is interest in our house. We got an offer yesterday and another today, so we are praying about our options and trying to decide the best way to go. Both people still need to sell their house, which makes it sticky situations. 

Share Four Somethings October 2025

Well, I completely spaced that last Saturday was the last weekend in October.

Thursday Encouragement 10/30/25

This has felt like a long week and with it rainy and dreary this morning my motivation got up and walked away. I should have worked out this morning, instead, I offered myself grace and the ability to get ready a little slower for work. My body is very kindly getting me ready for time change by waking me at 4 am 😬. Despite being tired and on the edge of grumpy, there are things I can and am thankful for.

I went back to the doctor last Thursday. He extended my antibiotics by another 10 days, added two nasal sprays, ordered me to get 15-30 minutes of sunshine each day we have it, and go back on my inhaler (that I rarely use because it's for "as needed.") I am finally feeling better (the cough and some congestion are still here), but I am definitely improving. I have started getting back into ALL my routines this week, and was thrilled to be back with my ladies Bible study group yesterday morning.
