Friday Favorites, 9.13.2024.

 


Happy Friday, friends! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for today's blog post. How has your week been? I am so happy to say that though mine was filled with a tiny bit of turmoil and anxiety, it was much better this week! You have no idea how happy that makes me to be able to say that. I keep reminding myself that better days are just ahead; I can almost taste them they're so close. Even though I am seeing more of that proverbial light at the end of this tunnel that I'm in, I do still have a bit of time until I can fully breathe again. I am anxiously awaiting that day! 


I have some favorites from this week! I'll share them below. 




My sister Lisa flew in for the week on Monday! I picked her up from the airport, we went to eat sushi at our favorite place as soon as we got back to The Ville, then we hit up a favorite shop of ours, John Mark's. 










We were literally swooning over the infamous ribbon library room. They're adding to it this week, because he recently received two containers full of the ribbon that he designed. I can't wait to see his own brand of that; he has impeccable taste, and I think he's such a cutie! He could be my son, but I loved these pictures that I saw in the restroom. You know I had to take pictures! You should follow him on Instagram if you don't already! Here's his page




These were a couple of my favorite outfits from the week! I wore the green dress on Tuesday and needed to be comfortable since it was a long day and because I had an appointment immediately following work. I pulled out my favorite top to celebrate a small victory this week; I have had it for at least three years, and I love it more as time goes on. I always get complimented on it when I wear it, so I'm glad it's not out of style! 






Sweet Bea is my nephew's dog, and she's one of my favorites. She has the best puppy dog eyes I have ever seen! She's a smart girl; she helps him hunt all throughout the year!




Sleepy mornings are my favorite at home! I love it when I don't have to leave home very quickly and the dogs get to do this. They love being lazy; for that matter, I like to be lazy in the mornings too. 


It's been a busy week, but those are all the pictures I have. We had some crazy weather here yesterday, with the hurricane that came through the gulf; it headed straight toward us here in West Tennessee! My sister was here all week, so I got to see her a lot, and she helped me a lot with something big that happened in my life this week. I will also say this about my week, specifically yesterday: I will always remember September 12th as the day I took my life back. I'll share more eventually, but I can't really talk about it just yet. Lots of you have reached out to me, and I appreciate you for doing that! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes, too. I could never say thank you enough! If you ever want to chat more, feel free to email me at allboys@gmail.com.


What was a favorite of yours this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends! Love to all!

  1. How great to get to spend time with your sister from out of state- I got to spend time with mine as well which has been wonderful. It sounds like many pivotal things happened this week and that God is working in ways you could hardly imagine needing his help even five months ago. I will continue to pray for you and your sons. You are their rock and they are fortunate to have you! Speaking of pivoting, I will switch gears to the weather. What kind of weather did you get? Lots of rain? We are in a severe drought and desperately need rain but not severe weather. Have a great weekend, friend!

    1. I love that you got to see your sister this week as well! You are right; it was a huge week, and one I am thankful for since it has me taking a huge step forward. Thank you for your prayers! As far as the weather, it was really only crazy rain for the entire day and it was super windy last night, but not as much as they said it would be. We needed the rain, too!

  7. I love all the puppy pictures. That Sweet Bea does have the most expressive eyes. Slow comfy mornings are the very best! Unfortunately, we haven't had to many of those this week, but last week we did, so I guess I won't complain. lol I noticed the piano in one of your photos...do you play?

    1. I love puppy dog eyes! I agree with you about those being the very best mornings. I dabble just a tiny bit on the piano, but nothing serious. I only play by ear.

    2. I wish I could play by ear, but it's just something I've never really been able to do very well.

    3. And I wish I'd kept taking piano lessons as a young girl!

  8. I'm so glad your sister was there this week to support you.
