Happenings at Home

Are you a football fan? My dad was a college football coach for 40 years so I absolutely LOVE it! This weekend my alma mater, Colorado State has a huge rivalry game against our in state rival, Colorado. There is a lot of hype around the game thanks Deion Sanders being all over the media lately so it should be interesting to say the least. We are not heading to Boulder for our own safety 🤣 but might go to our stadium here in town to watch!

This week seemed to fly by!

This week we were prepping for my daughter’s first high school homecoming dance coming up in a few weeks. And when I say prepping that is no joke!

Her favorite color is orange and luckily one of Mike’s co-workers was selling her daughter’s orange homecoming dress so we bought it! It is beautiful but we did have to have it altered a bit. Then we had to find shoes, jewelry, teeth whitening and self tanner. Self tanner is not my specialty so luckily my sister recommended this!

It was a lot and this is just homecoming! OY! Have you been through this? If so send me your tips. We have only been on the boy side and that is SO much easier! ha!

The Illuminated Bible is a gorgoeus way to study the word of God! — **My favorite Bible!**

If you are new to my blog last year I attended Bible Study Fellowship for the first time and loved it! Well, I signed up for this year too and this year’s study is on the book of John. Wednesday was our first day and I loved my leader and group. I can’t wait to dive in. If you are looking for a Bible Study to join and growth in your faith and knowledge of the Bible BSF is nationwide and you can check it out here.

I also had a lot of fun hanging out on Thursday with my good friend and former neighbor, Nicki. We spent the day shopping for furniture, lighting and decor for her home. It was so much fun! She fell in love with this gorgeous cabinet and some lovely new lighting fixtures from Lowe’s! I will share pictures soon of the updates we do. She has great taste and knows what she likes and I can’t wait to see it all come together for her.
