My favorite month is coming!

October is in three days. Did you hear me? THREE days. I still remember kindergarten; it lasted forever. And now, I cannot seem to grasp how quickly the days, weeks, months come and go.

My bubba boy isn't feeling too swell today and so we have had a few extra tears shed. He gets croup this time every year, it is related to the weather, but is still no fun. My gal had a fantastic second birthday party. She keeps telling me "my. birthday. party. fuuuun!" She leaves a little pause in between each word. Cutie.

Our small group began the Crown Financial study last week and so this was our first week of homework. I love reading things related to money and learning better ways to trust the Lord with and handle finances, but I have had such a hard time fitting all of this fun in over the last week. It's just been so busy. Has anyone done the Crown study? What are your thoughts on it?

Other big news, Brad painted the outside of our house this weekend. He spent ALL day Friday scraping and painting the house. It looks much, much better. He also finished our back splash and installed two outlets in a built-in in the living room (with the help of a talented friend). My man has worked hard!

Our weekend in a nut shell... thank you very much!

Does your favorite month have anything to do with the fact that your birthday is in it? :)

Crown Fin. is great. Dad and Carman did it 2 years ago and actually taught the class at their church. Their finances completely turned around that year as they watched the Lord bless what they were doing. Dad said he'd never felt such a peace and relief in his heart regarding finances in his life previously.

Keith and I did financial peace university with Dave Ramsay. Pretty much the same thing. I love how God actually says to test Him in the area of finances and watch how faithful He will be. Blessings to you and Brad as you learn!

Love you, friend.

It may have a LITTLE to do with my birthday, but is has even more to do with pumpkins, cool weather, falling leaves and college football. Don't believe me? Okay, well maybe 50% is due to my birthday.

I normally love October too, but not so much this year. Why did August come and go so quickly this year?

We have taught Crown to our small group and I think it's great. Several couples greatly benefited frome it (including us). In fact, I was thinking we should teach it again soon so that we can get a refresher!
