This: We’ve been spending lots of time up the hill, at my parent’s house. Without going into details, my mom’s health isn’t the greatest right now (if you missed my feelings lately, read this post) and so we’ve been up here spending time with them and helping my dad and just enjoying our time together. It’s a hard thing to do, finding the blessing in every situation, but I’ve gotten quite good at it, if I do say so myself. I mean, just look at that sunset. That happens every night, guys. It’s amazing. (Pray for us, please, if you have a little tiny second.)
That: Being at my parent’s house did not stop me from watching The Bachelor. In fact, I watched it with my dad. Yep. Now, I have to say, that is definitely one of the top 10 things I’ve ever done, watching The Bachelor with my dad. A few highlights, from my dad: “He’s a repeat? Oh, brother.” and “Those girls are all paid to be on that show. All of them. You know, they can do that, it’s not illegal.” Oh, dad. Needless to say, the entertainment level was upped about 700 points by watching it with him.
This: Speaking of The Bachelor, I’m still up in the air about Sean. I mean, he’s pretty funny (case in point: girl: “I’ve got balls to wear this wedding dress!” Sean: “I sure hope not.” ba dum chhh!) and nice and all, but enough with the ab shots, you know? And the cheesy smile. I know that’s abc’s fault, so I’m letting it slide for now and not holding it against him, too much. Also, can we talk about the girl wearing a wedding dress??? I mean, really? And he kept her. Of course he did. That’s abc’s fault, too.
That: I have the most amazing, sweetest husband in the whole wide world. I can’t believe I lucked out this much, you guys. I mean, really though. Not sure how I deserved this guy, but I’m holding on tight and never ever letting go.
p.s. I’ve got a fun giveaway coming soon, for reaching 500 followers!!! Omg, no idea how that happened, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for reading this silly blog of mine! I love you all! Also, Zack and I will be filming our Q&A video tomorrow, so look for that coming soon, too.

Hey Katie! Let me just say that no matter what you wear you always look SO comfy, I need to work on that without it being yoga pants :)!
Also, I’ve prayed for your mom and your family, as a whole, as I know first hand how everyone can be affected when someone isn’t doing well. You’re positivity and phrase for this year are so encouraging, especially when shown in the mist of what you have going on! May God continue to cover and keep you all!!!

Hey girl,
sorry about the link thing. It was there last night when I posted it. I don’t know what happened. WordPress has been being weird lately, maybe it has something to do with that? I dunno. the button is back.

I am always praying for you & your family, lady. Sending all good thoughts and prayers for your Mama to be well.
Secondly, you watching The Bachelor with your dad sounds so funny. I love that show with all its awkward moments and cheesiness. And I really like Sean too but I have a feeling he will disappoint me.
And lastly, you do have the sweetest husband ever. I literally said awwww outloud from that.
Thank you so much, Katie girl. That is so sweet of you and means a lot. Yeahhh, I definitely feel that Sean is going to disappoint. Ahh, well. The entertainment is undeniable. ;) hehe Zack makes me say “awww” outloud a lot, too!
