Welcome to the Good Life!

what i'm loving wednesday!

It's Wednesday friends!  I am off to the dentist to get a root canal, but honestly I have been in so much pain this week that I am actually looking forward to it.  Sad, I know.   I do want to share with you what I am loving this week before I head off to my appointment!!

I'm loving summer is here.  I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time at summer camp and I think this water balloon slide sounds just simply amazing.  I'd love to try it out!! :)

I'm loving that my sweet Tobbie is back home with me!  He has been in Kentucky with my mom for a few months and I am happy to have his sweet baby self home where he belongs.  He has been such a rockstar to snuggle with the past few days when I haven't been feeling well.  Tobbie was completely snoring on our way home Sunday--isn't he so cute in this picture? :)

I'm loving that Rob and I have booked a trip to Asheville for Memorial Day weekend!  I am so looking forward to the vacation.  I am counting down the days!  I know we are going to tour the Biltmore, but what else should we do?  I have heard so many great things about the city--I can't wait!

I'm loving this reminder to keep praying and stay faithful.  I need to remember this when times seem to be really tough!

I am loving my family so so much!  I had the best time in Kentucky celebrating both my sister and my mom this weekend.  Rob and I are also working on some home improvement projects and I love his contagious excitement about fixing up a few things around our house.  :)

It's Wednesday which means it's time to link up with Jamie at This Kind of Love!  I find myself looking forward to this day every week!  I love preparing this post and I love reading about what others are loving.  It is just the best dose of positivity out there in blogland! :)

I'm loving these spoons!  I received an ice cream maker for Christmas from my mom and sister.  Rob and I have made blackberry chocolate chip and strawberry.  Both were SO DELICIOUS!  However, we may have some disagreements over who gets to eat what and when... :)  So--these spoons would be very helpful! :)

I'm loving all of your sweet comments on my blogpost yesterday!  I loved sharing with you about my pretty engagement ring and I am so thankful for each one of them.  You surely know how to make a girl feel special!  

I'm loving the following Bible verses.  I've seen several posts where bloggers have claimed Bible verses for the upcoming year.  These ones are my favorite...

I'm loving my very sweet husband.  He makes me laugh harder than anyone else.  He is so sweet to cheer me up when I've had a rough day.  He just makes my days so much better.  I am so thankful for him and I love him very much!

What are you loving this week?

it's september!

I honestly cannot believe it is September!  I feel like it was just yesterday when I was getting ready to be gone for so much of the summer!  I have seen so many bloggers set goals for themselves for each month and I'd like to join in on the fun.  I think each month gives us each a great start to really make a fresh start for us to try our very best.

Here are my September goals:

• Run at least 5 days a week.  I had to take a break from this during August since I sprained my ankle, but I started the month off right with a great run this morning!  I want to continue this throughout the rest of September.
• Clean my house on Thursdays.  I'm going to be gone for at least part of every weekend during the month of September.  I hate coming home to a dirty house, with suitcases of laundry to do.  So, this month, I am making it a goal to have a clean house on Thursday so it will (hopefully) be clean when I come home on Sunday.
• Spend time first thing in the morning with God.  I am starting a new Bible Study next week and I would like to have this be the first thing I cross off my list every day!
• See my friends at least once a week.  This is not always easy when our schedules get very busy.  However, some of my in-town friends and I have decided to try to have a Sunday night dinner together.  I really want to get this idea moving and spend some quality time with my sweet friends.
• Start substitute teaching!  I am home most days, while working nights and weekends.  So, I would like to starting substituting to get out of the house more, meet new people, and bring in a little extra cash!  I'd love to start a vacation fund with my subbing money. :)
• Take down all of my summer decorations and get ready for fall in our home!

Alright friends, those are my goals for this month.  I will check back in on these at the end of the month!  And, tell me--are you making any goals for the month of September?
