3 Weeks

Today marks 3 weeks since Jess has left. 21 days has felt more like 3 months but I am trying not to be a baby about it. Bless those women's hearts who go months, even years before they see their husbands again. I will say I have done a whole lot better than I thought I would but let the jury still be out since it is only 3 weeks in.

The house is still coming along and with God's will I pray it continues. The brick started last Thursday and I am very please with how it is coming along. I cannot wait until that is done!

I will post more pictures as more progress is made. I am constantly taking pictures to send to Jess so he can stay up to date as well!

Besides supervising the house and spending time with my family I am really enjoying this nice cool Fall weather! I made this stew this past Saturday for me and my sister and it was delicious! Throwing everything into a crock pot is the best part about it! I made some cornbread muffins to go with it and literally ate it for 3 different meals. Hearty soups are on the menu as of late and I am not mad about it one bit ;)

I hope you all have a happy HUMP DAY tomorrow!

Love,

Game Day Venezuelan Style

Today is opening day for the Caribbean League! You can keep up with the games here. Once you are on this page you need to click the "VEN" tab on the scores and schedules box. Once the Venezuelan teams pop up you will look for "CAR". That is the abbreviation for Jess' team, Leones de Caracas. You can then click on that game and be able to access the box score.

The games usually last a whole lot longer there than they do here so if time slips away from you still check it out because Jess might not have even thrown yet. They are also 30 minutes ahead of us so keep that in mind too. If the game time says 7:30 it is really 7 our time.

He is ready to get the season started and happy with his team! I think he has a good group of guys to hangout with so that is good for him.

I hope that this "Friday Eve" is treating you well!

Love,

Serious Hiatus

Check, check....is this thing on?

I honestly don't even know where to start or how to even begin this post. Between the offseason starting, building a house, Jess leaving for Venezuela and trying to maintain living in two places at once I have been a TAD busy.

With all this going on the little old blog got put on the back burner. I would even go as far as using the word neglected! I just hate writing little short posts that are not relevant or even interesting to read. So that has also attributed to the lack of posts/serious hiatus this blog has been on.

Like I said a lot has been going on in the past weeks. Jess has been gone 1 week today and it has honestly felt like a month! They start their games on the 10th and once they get the game tracker up I will post information on how to keep up with him. Our house is still moving along and I am very thankful for that. I hope that by the time Jess gets back from playing he will have a finished house to come home to and be able to relax before training starts back up.

So since I have been gone for a while and Fall has began and I am in the holiday spirit I am going to take a moment and list things that I am thankful for. They will be in no particular order just random things that have been on my mind and that are dear to my heart.

1. My husband- He is such a provider and I appreciate all that he does for us. God blessed me so much when he made him mine. I am so undeserving.

2. My family (in-laws too)- They honestly keep things glued together for me, all the time. If Jess is gone they pick up his slack. If something needs to be done and I can't be there for it-they handle it. I appreciate all they do for me too and I hope they know it.

3. God- Daily he amazes me by his work. I can't even fathom his love for me or for anyone. He is truly an awesome God and I am so glad that I know him.

I hope that everyone is enjoying the cooler temps we have had lately. By no means do I want to rush through the Holiday season but I am ready to wear some cute flats, boots and light weight scarves ;)

Happiest Tuesday to y'all!

Love,
E
