It was COLD!! So we didn’t keep him out more than 5 minutes — and I’m always amazed at the pictures that can come in just a few minutes with this fella! I remember his 6 mo. studio pictures were under 15 minutes! He’s pretty cooperative! 🤗</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-UZEyLYqQ6rqzEyb8PXFq0cVQ_pCCZNtElSE1TJA6P1CXT_B8AtI1-d8jNWuB7-9n63twDZujsNfl2bzaL1GfBWuOGVDSmBpnMMH9W75n446Vc6hvltbn9gvFXxhoFjN5m5_x0lHKpc/s2048/IMG_8438-Edit-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-UZEyLYqQ6rqzEyb8PXFq0cVQ_pCCZNtElSE1TJA6P1CXT_B8AtI1-d8jNWuB7-9n63twDZujsNfl2bzaL1GfBWuOGVDSmBpnMMH9W75n446Vc6hvltbn9gvFXxhoFjN5m5_x0lHKpc/s320/IMG_8438-Edit-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsmXtbvyDyDbcS1b6jSNw5bOE4DNkbkS-yjbi6XA2gaF_YXfTiKRzPbOlM6W9xHSfzilVBLLjjLv2Jp-Id6um9AZlHQ-kAgCsUUWXaMh5p1aD8kQtiXaGDNwLspDeFbFcf_gliufoBrk/s2048/IMG_8425-Edit-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsmXtbvyDyDbcS1b6jSNw5bOE4DNkbkS-yjbi6XA2gaF_YXfTiKRzPbOlM6W9xHSfzilVBLLjjLv2Jp-Id6um9AZlHQ-kAgCsUUWXaMh5p1aD8kQtiXaGDNwLspDeFbFcf_gliufoBrk/s320/IMG_8425-Edit-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>MarLeah Beveragehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641238647882221993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459385133354814599.post-11055879752851452112020-12-05T20:40:00.001-06:002020-12-05T20:40:18.312-06:00December 5th 2020<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bubby got all dressed up in bibs to hop in the tractor with his daddy this morning and feed some cows. <3</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The last picture is my favorite.

It has been so fun to watch him learn to love and expand this new ability.</p><p style="text-align: center;">There are two instances I specifically cherish from this milestone. </p><p style="text-align: center;">One was the first time he crawled from room to room. It was about a week after his first crawl, and he was in his bedroom and I was two rooms down the hall. He left his room to go to another room to play, but then he turned around and saw me doing my hair in the bathroom, and he quickly stomped his little hands and knees over to where I was. And I rejoiced very much inside!</p><p style="text-align: center;">The other instance I recorded on the day it happened...</p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">"This morning was such a dream; I just wanted to cry little soft tears of joy.</p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">I tip-toed around the perfect moment as if to not disturb it.</p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">I’ve never been a person extremely drawn to the infant stage, I’ve always loved and looked forward to having a toddler, though. I assume this is because my personality is driven by activities and projects which you can have a toddler “participate” in.</p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">I feel like my baby turned a little towards toddlerhood this week when he started crawling. I can “send him on missions” to crawl across the floor to find a delicious piece of food. He is much happier to play on the floor by himself because he can go to get what he wants. That has done my heart so much good since for the last 8 months I have tried so hard to relax and be present with him and put aside my household duties when he just needed to cuddle or play.</p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">But this morning I got to be present with him in a very different way. </p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">I got my egg noodle dough out of the fridge that had been waiting on me to roll it out all week. I set my little guy down with some things on the floor on the other side of the countertop bar. </p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">The whole time I was working with my noddles he babbled in the sweetest, happiest, soft little voice. I melted. I had to keep poking my head around the counter to soak it all in. <span style="font-family: ".Apple Color Emoji UI"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">😭</span></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">All that said, I have of course come to love the infant stage after having my own.

His top two teeth have been coming in joining his bottom two... and he happily ground them together, making me cringe. 😬</p><p></p>MarLeah Beveragehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641238647882221993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459385133354814599.post-77279307423835399232020-08-21T12:24:00.001-05:002020-09-19T11:13:07.745-05:00Everett Mart - Six Month Studio Pictures<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Half a year has past with Rhett in our lives. No, I'm not going to say the cliche' "where has time gone?" Because I feel like I've been very present to the play-times, chicken watching 🤪, hundreds of diaper changes, nap-times, and learning his ever-changing needs. It has driven me crazy at times to be so present, but I'm grateful for the memories and good times!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this little mini-me to pieces! Last week he went through his second developmental leap known as the "wonder weeks". We had 4 WHOLE DAYS of clingy, fussiness... but since then I can see a big change in the way he looks at the world. He now enjoys time on the floor staring at this and that more. He gives Dad lots of smiles when he comes home from work. Most every morning, he is so happy to be awake and he coos and smiles at the world (basically, mommy! hehe)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he is awake, his fist is his favorite thing to gnaw on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His cutest coos are a deep throaty "Gahhhh", and a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rolled sound of "Ah-buuuhhh". (Can you say it?! Hahaha! 😜)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this 2-month-old, weighs 14 lbs. 5 oz and is 23 inches long!</div>

I have been enjoying this "stay home" order due to COVID-19... What a better time to have a little one and get to stay home?! I feel like I've been really able to just soak him up with his new little antics. Otherwise, I have been able to fit in doing alllll the laundry AND scrapbooking! ;) This photo set-up above is one that I plan to print and include as a whole 12x12 page in his album. </div>

His estimated due date was the 29th of January... and when that day hit, I lost all my drive to keep going. I was just so anxious to be in labor already! Thankfully, my sister, Ranelle, helped me get a little renewed drive and energy to keep taking care of myself and do my extensive list of "labor prep" things (drinking Red Raspberry Leaf tea, etc.)</div>

I'm not here to share my birth story, though I love to share it with people, in-person and when appropriate! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I will just say that my labor started in the evening on the day after his due date. And I couldn't have been happier! I love thinking back to it and remembering the excited goofy smile that I was trying to suppress as we packed everything into the truck to head to Buckhannon! Yet, things did not progress along, so we were playing a waiting game in a hotel close to the hospital, and I was working with my Doula to try to help labor progress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will insert here that a good Doula is certainly worth any investment you are able to make into one! She was amazing throughout the whole journey! </div>

I slept some through the night and let Tyrel sleep as much as he could. The Doula met us at the hotel at 10am the next morning... we went to the hospital at 11am. At 2pm I was finally to the "active labor" stage. Yay! Another moment where I was just soooo happy! Hehe.</div>

Tyrel and I have just now passed our 1 year Anniversary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Irony would have it that our anniversary trip was "hurricaned out" just like our honeymoon destination was changed from Florida to Tennessee because of a hurricane. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time we went to the Ark Encounter... ya know, to get away from all the flooding. I know lame joke. But the place itself was far from lame! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We actually visited both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I came back from there saying, "I got answers to questions, I didn't even know to ask." :)</div>

This month a big bell has been going off in my head saying, "You've been here a year now! Everything is just like it was when you got back from your honeymoon... ONE YEAR AGO!" <a href="http://marleahjoy.blogspot.com/2017/09/home.html">Here's what it looked like last year...</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just this week, the guys were working on a cattle pen to go with the <a href="http://marleahjoy.blogspot.com/2017/10/4-things-im-excited-for-right-now.html">loading ramp they built last year</a>. </div>

Yesterday, I got to bring lunch to the guys... partially because I didn't want Tyrel to have to make his own chicken salad wrap, and I didn't want it to get soggy in his lunch box. But maybe more because I wanted to enjoy lunch all together like we did last year... :)</div>

I love it when a quote or scripture that I’ve heard all my life is suddenly opened up to me through life’s experiences and tests.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first time I remember seeing this quote was in the bathroom at church in Four Corners, OK. The saying always stuck in my head, but it wasn't until recently that I could see why I needed to apply it to my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tyrel and I are quickly approaching our 1st Anniversary and I have to say, what a wonderfully overwhelming learning experience about yourself and others! And on some days I might say that’s a generous description of the journey ;) but I’m slowly learning what keys to pull out in different situations to enjoy the ride through life. Those keys all link back to committing each situation and test to the Lord, but there have been times for me <i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(being a woman of complex emotions)</span></i> that I needed a specific plan of action on just how to commit -- plus the hope to believe it would satisfy and fulfill.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lord has given me two specific challenges that have helped me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(1) To become a Millennial Pioneer Woman</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(2) Don't focus on emotional expectations to be met</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The first challenge came about two months ago. I wrote these notes down as I was sitting by a waterfall in a mountain pasture as Tyrel and his dad were unloading equipment for a fence job.</b></span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m okay with being a millennial pioneer woman.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m finally coming to grips with something my mom told me before I got married. She said my husband would not fulfill the boredom, restlessness, or the loneliness I was particularly feeling at the time. Truth is, I had no reason to be lonely. I still had the same great friends surrounding me. Yes, I was busy preparing for the wedding and had less time to go be with people maybe. But the point is, my mother was right. It was my attitude and outlook that needed to be adjusted.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I may have been struggling with loneliness 8 months ago, but the last 8 months has been the same story with learning to be happy where I’m at. I knew before I got married that I loved to travel, but more importantly spend time hiking, camping, and exploring God’s beautiful creation. Okay, I liked Hawaii pretty well too. ;P I knew that Tyrel was an extremely busy, hardworking man... but I love that about him and so I never thought twice about giving up that so called “vacation time” — until the reality hit that my previous life of being able to </i></span><i>independatly</i><i style="font-family: inherit;"> plan a vacation really had changed. There’s a lot that I still need to learn about putting things into perspective though. Because Tyrel just took a day trip to Washington D.C. with me, Summer and Mom, and we went to visit friends in Charleston over the weekend with Summer. We got to visit my friends at Kevin and Heather's house in Ohio over a weekend. We were able to join my in laws and sister for a trip to Virginia in January and go stay with my parents at the end of January after a wedding. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic;">So yes we’ve been able to go on some wonderful little get-aways. But I’m afraid that what I want is just the typical Millennial desire to be a special/extraordinary/<wbr></wbr>privileged person who looks a certain way on social media. You know, like those tropical week-long vacations </span><i>somewhere tropical by ourself. Hmmm 😏 That's the normal ideal it seems.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="font-family: inherit;">I read an article about this recently in the </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Daughters of Promise</span><i style="font-family: inherit;"> magazine. The author wrote of her own struggle of feeling like she was doing things just to put off a certain air about herself. I've made effort many times to not </i><i>succumb</i><i style="font-family: inherit;"> to it, but I found yet another area, my marriage, where this comparison and entitlement has effected me.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last week, as we were working on this same</span></i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> fence job...</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I was driving the tractor back across the side of the mountain. I enjoyed the scenery of the secluded field... I imagined myself as Heidi in a cotton summer dress doing chores on a beautiful mountainside similar to where I was. I was happy being there working with the simple blessings a pioneer woman would experience! But we live in a world of millennials (me included) who feel the urge to share those simple blessings that God DID mean for us to enjoy. </span></i><i>Sometimes I feel like I can't enjoy something unless I get other's approval of how enjoyable they think it would be for them too. </i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">But often times, the broadcasting of those highlights breeds the opportunity for discontentment, comparison, jealousy, competition, etc. for yourself and others.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The next few days delayed the fence job because of the tabernacle building project at the church. I began getting restless and </i></span><i>complaining</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> again. But the Lord dropped the phrase “quiet spirit” to my mind, so I looked up the passage.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>1Pe 3:1</u></b> Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>1Pe 3:2</u></b> While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>1Pe 3:3</u></b> Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u><span style="color: #b68c08;">1Pe 3:4</span></u></b><b><span style="color: #b68c08;"> </span></b><b> But </b><b>let it be</b><b> the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, </b><b>even the ornament</b><b> of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>1Pe 3:5</u></b> For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lord also gave me a song while I was sitting there and I took some notes on it as thoughts just rolled out.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I felt a peace come over me immediately as I realized the blessing of being a “pioneer woman” AND the blessing it will bring myself and my husband if I can maintain a meek and quiet spirit by being content with where I am and the lifestyle my husband has (most generously!) provided. :) This all equals less frustration in my emotions and leaving my husband feeling more respected knowing that he IS all I need!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Whether the problem is being anxious about not getting a break to have time along with my husband, or wondering when my husband “will show me love the way I WANT IT” (I know that sounds selfish and awful, but my natural tendency is to get hung up on that!! ) But that song and those scriptures just gave me a reminder to focus my hope in the right direction and not get distracted by selfish things!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>Side note: Since the time I wrote this, I have strived to make a point to mentally notice the ways my husband does show me love (and he does of course frequently!!) And I have not felt deprived at all! It was my perspective that needed adjusted, not the ways he treated me! :) I'm just sharing my honest initial feelings so it may be a help to someone else who might be able to relate. ;)</i></span><br />
<i style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">No, a pioneer woman did not get picture-perfect vacations -- they enjoyed the beauty of what God gave them as He blessed them with it! They didn't have time for much leisure, but were they </span>underprivileged? I don't think so. Just as I, living somewhat Pioneer-ish,😉 am not either more privileged or deprived for the way our lifestyle leads us.</i><i style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img style="border: 0px; max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%;" /></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>So how do I pull off real joyful living </i></span><i>like</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> a pioneer in a world of millennial comparison and discontentment? I don’t have a complete answer yet. However, when I become restless and upset, my goal is to challenge myself with pondering the application my new name: “A Millennial Pioneer Woman”!</i></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The second challenge came this last week through a tear-filled out-pouring of my heart to a young mother and wife to a farmer/entrepreneur. </b></span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For a while I had this feeling that I should call her up — knowing she would likely understand and hopefully have some wisdom to share with me on being victorious over your emotions while living this glorious, yet hectic “pioneer life”. (I have no other description for it — the only way to understand it is to live it, so I won’t bore you.) I can not put a value on the connection my heart made to the words she said over the phone while describing challenges she’s likewise faced! <i>Hint: don’t wait as long as I did to reach out to someone who’s “been there.”</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After our conversation ended, I jotted down words on a sticky note that I placed on my bathroom mirror as a reminder. <i><b>“Don’t focus on expectations. <strike>Enjoy</strike> CHERISH every moment.”</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It hit home so hard as my mind replayed many times when I had pre-set in my mind what would feel comfortable or make me feel loved in such and such situation. Then there's endless advice I kept hearing about the need to have time to communicate with your husband and the value of going on dates that I *<i>felt*</i> like I never received. Remember these are feelings! I’m not putting my husband down. He’s a busy man providing for our household, and I value that! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She discussed with me the value of stopping all you’re doing at the moment or day to spending that time with your husband whatever he may be doing. —and how that can be as blessed as a “date” this world advises us to take so frequently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After the conversation I felt a weight lift knowing that I could release those expectations and if we REALLY need that in our marriage, the Lord can give us/me wisdom to know how to do that (or help me to see how we DO get those opportunities😉), OR give me serenity to accept that “it’s okay” anyway. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has worked, too! Yes, I still initially have the same negative thoughts about expectations when I’m not sure how or when (or if it's even </span>necessary<span style="font-family: inherit;">) to communicate. But I’ve decided if it’s going to cause me a problem, </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">forget it!!</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> And I end up much more peaceful and ultimately receiving the same blessed feeling I thought I would receive by following my own ideas of how things should go.</span></div>

Summer-time updates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm writing this in September, but dating it for the month most of the pictures came from. ;) </div>

This summer has been a wonderful whirlwind... So I want to make an attempt to share an overview. </div>

Let's say this again...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4-5 days of working in the rain, mud, and muck. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pairing bawling animals with their babies, giving them shots, and sorting them to haul off to different pastures for the summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was intense!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it ended with a mucky, mud fight between me and Tyrel. I would say that it was a success. ;)</div>

I'm crying again, just as I re-live those 10 days. They were the hardest 10 days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course I wanted to enjoy the time with family and friends, but I think I cried myself to sleep each evening... knowing my husband was alone facing a rough week with work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this time, Tyrel and his dad had many deadlines for work, but they sacrificed those to build a tabernacle for our church camp meeting.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">I’ve been getting an adventure bug lately. But with everything to do at home and on the job, it takes away my desire to go find a nice hiking trail or plan a camping weekend for the spring. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">It’s been a burning inside me. And like I said, practicality adds to the fire and says “there’s no way with everything going on that you’ll ever have a time for a little solitary outing in nature.” 😌</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">But, the snow is melted today and the Lord aligned all the stars to bless me with a little “outing” today. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">We were driving to the job site today and there was a beautiful fog all around! I just soaked up all the beauty! ❤️ And I even managed to take a picture while we were driving. Tyrel knew I wouldn’t get my window rolled down in time, so he slowed down for me. ☺️</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">Then, a car passed us that had Arkansas license plates. And yes, they are known to be fast drivers in AR and this person was zipping along as well. Oddly enough, I had a strange connection to that car... it brought me back to Missouri for a few seconds. ☺️</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">So two years ago (this Easter Sunday) I took a backpacking trip in Arkansas with a good friend from church. We accidentally planned it over Easter weekend (oopsie), but it was the only weekend that worked for both of us. That was my first time (and long anticipated) backpacking trip. Needless to say it was amazing... and I think back to it often, wondering when I’ll do it again.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">But back to reality....</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">We got to the job this morning, and I stepped out of the truck hearing a babbling stream running down the mountain side! 💗 The weather was surprisingly warm (for West Virginia!), and we were in woods that seemed just like the fond memories I carry of that backpacking trip in Arkansas. Only... it’s actually prettier here than that weekend in the Ozarks! There’s more green here with the moss, occasional evergreen tree, and the mountain laurel. 😍</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">I’ve been learning to be grateful for these opportunities to come to work with Tyrel and enjoy the little “hikes” I get in this beautiful mountain land! Somehow in my head it’s not quite been the same as hiking a long distance to find the reward of a beautiful stream or waterfall. So I’m trying to learn to think about it differently. And even though we drove here and all we had to do was walk through a gate, and even though I’m carrying around a chain saw and not my backpacking pack... I’m still getting to enjoy the beautiful landscape and new sights! ☺️</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: medium;">And today I feel so thankful for alllllllllllllll of that! But mostly for a new outlook on life!</span></div>

Since Thursday, I've been filling in for a friend to stay with an elderly man from the community.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I go in at 7:30 -- make his breakfast... do any house work or just sit and/or give him conversation until time to get his mail and have lunch together. Around 1pm I can go home for a few hours, then come back for 2 hours to make his supper... then I get to bring the rest of the food home to feed my husband supper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ideal?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Far from it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact, when I told my sister in Oklahoma what I was doing, I could hear her eyes get wide over the phone as I told her how little I was paid to break up my whole day to spend 7-8 hours over there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was not necessarily enjoying my time "having" to stay with him, especially on a Saturday. But Tyrel reminded me why I'm there. So yesterday, I made it a point that "It was a good day to have a GOOD day!" ;) And I even told the man that... In all his 95 years, he had never heard anyone say it quite like that. ;)</div>

It is really amazing to think that the <i>only </i>real reason I should be doing what I'm doing (or the only one that matters!) is so that the soul of this elderly man can make it into Heaven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I do have a way of obligating myself without knowing what I'm getting into. ;) So it's good to know that whatever my job may end up being... I have a purpose to be there!</div>

I've also been struggling hard to find that place in my marriage as well. I'm so easily discontent with... well just about anything! If I don't get to spend the day with Tyrel, or if I do. If I get some alone time in the evening, or if I should be doing something else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems as if I'm not bogged down by the "should-be's" of what I <i>can't</i> be doing right then to be the perfect wife, then I'm frazzled and not joyful because I actually get to be doing those things and then it's a "chore", or I can can be upset and depressed that I'm "left-out"... You name it! I feel like just when I get the victory over one, another one comes knocking at the door. </div>

So back to the book I'm reading... all of those quotes have come from "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren that Alyssa picked up for me at the library. I'm excited to follow the 40 day journey and apply it to my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this book can do nothing... except that God helps me apply the principles and scriptures to my life. And the biggest step is consecrating our self and desires to His greater purpose.</div>

The pictures are all from this man's house I've been cooking at. He doesn't have wifi, so I've challenged myself to use his deceased wife's cookbooks. It's been fun to look through the many recipes for pickles she had and imagine the days when she had a large garden outside and her journey to find the perfect pickle recipe. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest, before I got married, I had a dream of interacting with the elderly here in this community to hear their "stories". My dream came alive in a different way than I expected, and it's not like I hear a history book everyday, but in a slow but sure way, I've experienced a lot, and it's fun if I make it fun! ;D</div>

We still have a little bit of snow left over from this weeks' 14 inches or so. I didn't measure, because I like to pretend that I don't care enough to know, so I borrowed that measurement from several other people. ;)</div>

So I grabbed a frame sitting up in the attic, and I re-painted the wood and mat boards.... and ahhhh, the gorgeousness! :)</div>
