Week 7# 2015

2.20.15

Friday I didn't take any personal pictures (Boo for me, I know) sometimes when I already have my camera out for a couple hours for work the last thing I want to do is get it out again later on! So here is a peek at my session that day...

2.21.15

We miss Cain on Drill weekend ...

2.22.15

Sunday morning church and lunch with Haley :)

2.23.15

I start each morning with lemon water and a green drink!

2.24.15

This was my week at the Thornton's and I can't say enough how sweet these kids are! I have watched them since the twins (Maddux and Avery) were babies! From left to right: Cade, Avery, Ryne and Maddux.

Their "Home Alone" faces ...

2.25.15

Hockey night is every Wednesday. This week I was asked to take pictures for the black team (Cain's team) so I got a better seat to take pictures!

What I read this week ....

Week #6 2015

2.13.15

Funny how things just never go as planned, right?! Friday we had to finally get my car fixed.... Well forced too really, seeing how it wasn't moving anytime soon. Happy we had a free tow to use and that the car was fixed the same day!

Cain said he would help with dinner that night. Loving the intense look :)

2.14.15

Valentine's Day was a GREAT one for me. Graci came to visit for a few hours and we played games, did crafts and of course made homemade chocolate to dip bananas in! I haven't bought bananas in quite sometime but when I knew she was coming, I had too! What a joy she brings to our home.

2.15.15

With Cain off work we were able to join Sam at State for wrestling. I love wrestling and enjoy the meets. They are always long but once your wrestler is up, you get so excited and forget that you waited 4 hours to watch him ... .yes that's how long we had to wait for the first match! After that we had to wait a hour for the rest.

It was a long long day but I enjoyed every minute. Watching Cain and Seth coach Sam is so neat. To see his parents being so supportive no matter a win or a loss... They are his biggest fans no doubt about it.

Sam ended the day placing 5th place!

Everyone seems to LOVE this photo... so I thought I would share it here.

Sam calls me his number 1 photographer ... :)

2.16.15

After the long day before, I spent Monday resting and reading :)

2.17.15

Another wrestling meet for Sam.

2.18.15

When Cain has the day off school and work he helps with the house projects! I have the best husband :)

Hockey night for the Groggs! This is where I'll be for the next 10 weeks... freezing my butt off! 

2.19.15

I can't even remember what I did Thursday. All I know is I took these photos and that's it.

Peek into our new bedroom! Part 1

I forgot to share this in my weekly 365 post so I thought I would take this time to give a sneak peek into our unfinished, but getting close to being finished... bedroom :)

The bedroom is the last room in the house that just didn't feel like ours. The color on the wall and lack of pictures through out it bothered me a lot! I knew the kitchen needed done first but I was really going crazy over the bedroom decor.

So after the kitchen was done ... and my new desk for the office, (Pictures coming!) it was time to do something with the bedroom! One wall needed a hole filled in (Not because of us!) so over a weeks time Cain had to mud it and sand it down. Then I painted it. I went very "Plain" you see...  I love clean looking rooms. And the color white is very clean looking, to me.

I wanted the color to come from the pictures and other things.

I knew I wasn't convincing anyone of my plan to go white but that didn't stop me!

There are a few things we still need to finish so I won't share the whole room. But this right here is my favorite part.


More to come!

Week #6 2015

2.6.15

These weeks are flying by. We take one day at a time and each seem to always have some kind of trouble that life brings but I can honestly say at the end of each day I am thankful who I spent the day with.

Cain is the light at the end of the my tunnel. Friday I did my normal Earth Fare grocery shopping but when I went to leave something not normal happened. My car wouldn't start! Which is frustrating anytime it happens but we had just put a new battery in it two weeks before so I thought "What could it be this time?!"

Thankfully Cain was just down the road working at Parkview. He was able to take a few minutes off to come save me. He was able to get my car started and brighten my day up. His smile is so comforting and I can't but smile back. ..

2.7.15

We headed to Bluffton for the weekend to spend time with my parents and go to a Wedding!

My good looking hubby wasn't to thrilled about me taking pictures that day but he played along for me ;)

2.8.15

My first wrestling meet of the year was short but very fun to watch. Sam is Cain's little cousin (Even though he is not so little anymore) We are so so proud of the kind of kid he is. We love watching him go above and beyond when it comes to any sport but what we love must his is character.

I do brag about him often. So get used to it! Here he is about to pin this kid ...

2.9.15

Oh lazy mornings with Nova .... She always takes my spot when I get up in the morning!

 2.10.15

Sorry for all the Nova (not)

Does she not look like a puppy in this first pic? Reminds me of when she was just a little girl.

2.11.15

Sneak peek into our NEW bedroom!

And NEW office!

2.12.15

Cain not waiting until Valentines Day to give me my favorite kind of flowers... the ones that doesn't die the next week!

We ended our week at another wrestling meet. This time Cain got to come with me! And yes, Sam pinned both of the boys he wrestled.

Again, Sam you make us so proud!
