Life Update!

It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on our life, so I decided it was time for one. 🙂 Quite a bit has happened the last several months. And a lot of good things, and a lot of hard things too. But God has been faithful through it all. 🙂 ❤

So… One cool/happy thing going on right now, is that our friend, Maggie Cyr, came all the way from Arizona to stay with us for about a month! We are very much enjoying our time with her. 🙂

It has been a big blessing having her, and we’ve had a lot of fun with her! 🙂  ❤

The weather has been amazing where we live in Mexico. Lots of rain, clouds, thunder…. It’s all awesome! (Except for the fact the electricity pretty much always goes out every time it rains… Which is about every day during these months… XD )

I went on a nature walk with my camera the other day. 🙂 Summer is amazing for photography. (I’m so sad it’s almost over. 4 more days!!!! 😮 )

Down the road from our house 🙂

The greenness!!!!! ❤

I sat down by some bushes and flowers to wait for something to photograph…

Found something, lol!

I went with Dad up to the mountains where he preaches every other Saturday. 🙂

My friend, Karen, and I. 🙂 ❤

Karen and I again. 😉

Mom reading to some of the kids. (Susy’s face, lol! XD )

Other than that, I have…

Played lots of guitar and piano…

Read lots of books, including The Hiding Place, and several books by Elisabeth Elliot…

Played piano at church for the first time – that was very fun!

Watched The Widow’s Might with Maggie…

Sang a lot with Maggie, Gracie and Lizzie… 😀

And lots more… 😉

oh, and one more thing that’s happening right now, is that we are finally replacing our bookshelf. It was FALLING. APART. Literally. Like, I can’t tell you how any time we nailed those shelves up when they fell a few times a week… XD So yeah, we are very happy (to say the least!) about the new ones. I won’t go into how hard it was to actually get the bookshelf standing upright because it was slightly too tall, and our ceiling is shorter in some spots, and higher in others… Lol! XD Oh, and we currently have books stacked all over the living room still… XD

The new bookshelf. 🙂 We haven’t finished putting the books back on the shelves, lol!

So yeah, that’s a bit of what’s been going on lately. 🙂 (That was a lot of pictures, lol)

I wanted to end this post with this quote my grandma sent me. 🙂 ❤
