FINALLY all caught up!

For over a year....Blogger would not connect to Google Photos and therefore I couldn't blog.  It finally got back to working, but I was over a year behind.  I have spent the last couple of months catching up.  My narratives have been short, but I wanted to get my pics down and in order.  Fingers crossed for no more issues thus creating better posts.  For now, I celebrate this moment!!!!  

Mid November: APSU Basketball with Papa, Christmas Village with Friends, Church Fall Retreat for Kathryn and Kaden, and a Field Trip for Kathryn

Country Music Hall of Fame...Field Trip with RHS AMAT...they also went to the Hatch Print Show...so cool!

Cane's officially opened in Clarksville and we were there on Day 2!  

 

Leaving for works in the morning...



It really hasn't gotten any easier...pretty much every single day I wish I could wake up, fix the family breakfast, take Kaden to school, and then come home to do all the things around the house so when we are all home together in the evening, we can simply just be together.  Kaden still likes to wave good bye in the mornings.  I know me working is what our family needs...but it is hard to balance it all.  I am so thankful for what we have, what we have accomplished, and for my life!!!!  But leaving this sweet face each morning as I pull away to go to work...it is hard!

Kathryn's 1st College Visit: UT Chatt




















 Kathryn experienced her first College Visit...and it was SO MUCH FUN!  We stayed overnight in Chattanooga and spent all Saturday on campus.  Kathryn had the opportunity to meet with several professors and current students.  She got a ton of UT Chatt swag (Kaden did too...LOL).  We were given a guided tour of the campus.  And we finished with lunch in the cafe.  It was a great day and an awesome visit.  Kathryn liked the campus and all of the people she met.  UT Chatt isn't her #1, but it is definitely in her top five...so we shall see what happens!
