What just happened here?! Busy. Full. Fun. Exhausting. May crazy. Yeah, that’s what we’ll call it! The end of the school year swept in and took over our lives in a cloud of performances, graduations, parties, banquets, and more.
Whew! Anyone else want a nap now that we’ve made it to the other side?
In just a matter of days, she had her piano recital, violin recital, American Sign Language presentation, and sports banquet. Among the awards, what I’m most excited about is that she won a most-Christlike award for the second year in a row. Last year softball, this year in volleyball. To me, that’s the best reward!
Oh yeah, and my baby is officially a Senior! Good gracious.
Mother’s Day
What a wonderful day! Captain and E came to stay for the weekend and along with the hubs and my girl, they all spoiled me rotten. We spent time at worship (my fave!) and went out to eat. Part of my gift was knowing that, wait for it — Captain and E are moving home!
It’s been six years since we put our oldest on that airplane that took him to Army boot camp. He served his country, got married, graduated college, and now is coming back home to small town USA with his family. Yes, I’m beside myself with joy.
God is so good!
Wife Life
Have you caught the Wednesday Wife Chat on Instagram amidst your May crazy? It’s a fun link-around activity that a blogger friend of mine does a couple times a month so that us wives can learn from and encourage each other. It’s so much fun! Be sure to look for it and join in with us.

End of the school year
We’ve attended so many 2017 graduation parties and ceremonies that I seriously have pomp and circumstance on rewind in my brain these days.
It’s June now though and officially summa, baby! Praise Jesus! We have a big bucket list o’ fun planned for the next couple months and I have a ridiculously easy meal planning idea that I can’t wait to send your way – so stay tuned!
