The Queen’s Chronicles
Such a busy week full of special memories!
We started the week attending high school orientation! I really don’t know where the years have gone but in just a few short months this boy will be in high school. He’s ready….I think I am too.
If you didn’t read my interview with Carly Jo this week you can find it here. This girl is just such a hoot and keeps me on my toes.
You guys…January was so good but February has been a big fail so far. I did not make it to the gym one day this week! Tomorrow is a new day….time for improvement.
Dillon played his last basketball game on Thursday and I loved seeing this after the game! You may not always win but teams who pray together will be successful.
I didn’t even make it to the grocery store this week so Friday it was a quick stop by Freebirds for a burrito bowl.
Friday this girl asked me to bring her Subway….and I did it without even remembering they had a pizza party. She said she didn’t really like Little Caesars anyway.
Meanwhile in Fort Worth this boy was on a hot date attending his the First Pitch Banquet for the first time as an alumni! I’m a little biased but I think they are adorable.
My friend Pam offered me her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 5K registration on Friday morning and Carly was up for it even though she had never done it before. I had to laugh when I saw her fill out her info…..in case you didn’t know she loves unicorns!
Y’all….my girl did so good!! I had no idea what to expect but we bought a new outfit and she was so excited. We did a combo of running and walking and she tasted the sweet success of her first finish. I think this may be a new tradition for us.
We spent the remainder of a beautiful Saturday watching this team play 5 games of 7 on 7 and come away winners! All heart and they left it all on the field and it was so much fun.
Sunday morning, Valentines Day and I was really happy to spend the morning in church with my love {Receiving} the message on being wise in our relationships. My new cuff came on Saturday with my word for the year!
And then we headed to Grub Burger bar and the waitress must have known all about how I love watching myself in the mirror.
My favorite…the jive turkey burger. So yummy even without the bun. I stole a sweet potato fry off Carly Jo’s plate and she said “hey, eat your bread”.
We have a great nature trail near our house and Carly Jo and I had a fun time taking Dutch exploring.
And then this boy sent me a picture to find out if he should wear the jacket or go without. Seriously….be still my heart to see him looking so handsome! He’s been working so hard in the off season and will be leaving soon for spring training and I am just so darn proud of him.
We ended the week with grilled filets and a little shrimp cocktail. It was perfect!
Hope you all had a weekend filled with sweet memories!
Hop over here to see where I’m linking up!
Another high schooler in the house! My mom had just me so when I entered high school and then left, whooo, that was a hard time for her. Serious empty nest syndrome.
Carly is so beautiful! She's going to be gorgeous. And I haven't hit the gym this entire year….

The picture of you and Carly in the bottom right of your collage – FABULOUS!!! Love it!
OK – I need some you in my life STAT! How do we never see each other?!
Great pictures of your week. That is so fun that you and CJ did a walk/run together…a great tradition to start. And absolutely can't believe we will have a high school kid in our house either. Have a happy Monday!
I always love seeing teams who pray before or after a game!

Love that Carly Jo may have found her sports interest and who better than to do it with but her mom? We had grilled-at-home steaks, too, for VDay! Delish!
Love seeing the team praying together! Looks like you all had the best weekend!

Isn't that just he best Kelsey? It warms my heart to know my kids are surrounded by adults unafraid to share their faith.
Girl…I so hope she decides this is a thing for her! Hope you guys had a super valentines day!
Me too Darcy! Such a blessing to have adults in my kids lives who are unashamed to about sharing their faith!
It will be here before we know it Tanya! I think I'm in denial.
Today wasn't long enough!
Thanks so much Liz! Carly is a sassy girl and her personality more than outshines the outside but I think she is pretty beautiful myself.
What an amazing weekend!!!! Marissa is running her first 5k with me at the beginning of April and I cant wait!
I seriously was over the moon excited! I hope to do another this weekend.
