Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve, everybody! It is finally here! Thus year has been hectic and maybe not what everyone was expecting but the Lord has been good and He is completely in control. Nothing happens that is outside of God's plan. I hope you all enjoy this wonderful time of year and the gathering of family and friends. Merry Christmas! Below are some Christmasy pictures that I took. ❤

Thanksgiving Week! 🍁

One day till Thanksgiving, y'all! I'm super excited for the coming holiday. We have been busy baking, cooking, cleaning, and all of the other things you do before Thanksgiving. Below are some pictures of a Dutch Apple Pie I started to make.

Also some housekeeping, due to the upcoming holidays and how busy I have been I have decided to post on here once a month. I know I haven't posted consistently in awhile so this seems like a good idea. Thanks! 

Hope yall have a blessed Thanksgiving week!

Happy Fall

Hey Y'all!

I am so sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I have been super busy with school and just life in general. 

Happy First Week of Fall! One of my favorite times of year is fall because all of the pretty colors come out, good smells are all over the place, and I finally get to wear sweatshirts. The smell of spice and the cool weather makes me want to curl up in a cozy chair with a good book and a yummy drink. I love this time of year because everyone is in a friendly mood and it is a good time to look over the past year at what the Lord has blessed me with. This year he has blessed me witha few fun classes in school, opportunities to go riding/competing, and good friends. What are three things you are thankful for? What do you like about fall? 

Love Y'all Bunches!

A Day in My Life

Hey There! 

I figured that for today's post I would talk about my little business I have. I refinish furniture. It is relatively simple and it is a good way to work of stress and just relax. Basically, I look on Facebook Marketplace or at Goodwill and find solid pieces that I want to refinish. I take them home to my lovely workspace (the garage) and start the process. I remove the hardware, sand any rough spots, paint the piece, stain the top, and paint the hardware. That is the general process. Some pieces require a little more TLC before they are ready to sell but that is the general idea. Here are some pieces I have done. All of these sold from $100 to $200 a piece. 

Have a blessed rest of your week! 

Love,

Grace ❤

Gentle and Lowly

Hey There! 

For birthday a few months ago I got an amazing book. To be honest I just started reading it but it is one of the best books I have read in awhile. It is Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. 

This book looks at Christ's heart for sinners. It is absolutely amazing. I have read through the first chapter so far and have enjoyed doing a study alongside this. It is easy to understand and if you are not a huge fan of reading, this book is pretty short and interesting. I love how in depth he goes in really looking at Christ's attitude and heart toward sinners. Definitely a great book so far! 

Have a blessed rest of your week! 

Love,

Grace 

Trip to Washington

 Hey There! 

I know it has been awhile since my last post so I am going to try to catch y'all up to date. 

The week following Father's day most of my family made a trip up to Washington for a week. It was absolutely Washington! I got to fly for the first time, I saw family, I went to a little German town in the mountains, I went to the beach, and I got to see the area where I spent the first half of my life. It was awesome! If I had to choose my favorite part of the trip it would have been seeing my FAVORITE Uncle and cousin.  Here are a few pictures. Enjoy! 

Flying from DFW to SEATAC:

Some yummy DutchBros for a caffeine boost:

On our drive to Leavenworth in the mountains:

And this little dude at Ocean Shores:

And last buy not least this beautiful beach sunset and the campfire we made ❤ :

I hope yall are having an amazing week! Thank you for reading! 

With Love in Christ,

Grace
