Hope Continually -- Psalm 71:14

Menu for the Week:  Monday, December 30 Lunch meat sandwiches, chips, fruit We drove from Jacksonville, FL to Helen, GA.  I had a cooler with food and when we arrived, we made sandwiches and had fruit, chips, cheese, summer sausage at the state park. Jambalaya - First night at our cabin in Georgia for our New Year vacation. Tuesday, December 31 Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs Crawfish boil - Second night at our cabin. This is a special meal we usually do once a year with our family. Wednesday, January 1 Pancakes and bacon Corned beef and cabbage  - Third night at our cabin. Yes, I brought a crockpot along to the cabin.  Hardly any prep and it was nice to come home to a hot, hearty meal.  We love corned beef and cabbage. :) Thursday, January 2 Restaurant in Helen, GA - We try not to eat out much even on vacation.  We did splurge on our fourth day before we left for home. Friday, January 3 Tater-topped sausage egg bake - One of Addie's favorite meal...

  Monday, January 6 - Thursday, January 9 Monday morning, Eric and I will be leaving for our January Aspire event in Atlanta.  The first event I worked for my husband's company was in December 2023 and was held in Atlanta, GA.  I have officially been with them over one year now. In the past year, I went to: Atlanta, GA in December Santa Clara, CA in January Dallas, TX in February Los Angeles, CA in March Orlando, FL in June New York City, NY in July Houston, TX in August Phoenix, AZ in September Schaumburg, IL in October Nashville, TN in November Washington DC/Maryland in December I also went to an Equity Trust event with Eric in Cuyahoga Falls in July. I am grateful for the opportunity to earn some extra money with this job and to spend time with my husband.

  Today was a semi catch up day from vacation.  When we arrived home from vacation, the Cruze had a flat tire.  So that meant I had to take Sierra to work.  She worked from 8-3pm.  I dropped her off and then got ready for the day. I then took Autumn to her wisdom teeth consultation at 10am.  They then removed three of her wisdom teeth.  The total cost was $2,505 and $1,000 insurance covered.  I paid $1,168. After her surgery, we stopped at the chiropractor so I could see Doc Kelvin for my weekly adjustment.  Then we stopped at Chick-Fil-A for mac and cheese and a frosted coffee for Autumn. Addie had done all the dishes, cleaned out the fridge and straightened the house while we were gone which was so nice!  I then swept the floors, cleaned two of the bathrooms, did laundry and cleaned the laundry room/Litter Robot. I made tater-topped sausage egg bake .  I realized then I forgot to put the tater tots on it and it was almost complete...

 Today is the second day of January and we arrived home around 8pm from our New Year trip to Georgia.  I will share those photos soon.  I have a lot to catch up on in the next two days.  I worked on my yearly recap for 2024 and my vision board for 2025 while in Georgia.  I will share some of that soon as well. For now, I must get some sleep.  Autumn has her wisdom teeth removal tomorrow morning.  I can't keep my eyes open any longer. :)

Happy New Year!   Can you comprehend we are 1/4 the way through this century?  It is crazy!   Our family is spending this holiday in northern Georgia.  I reserved a cabin in a state park for us to get away to the mountains during the girls' holiday break and make some family memories.  I will be making my 2025 Vision Chart over the holiday. I do love the New Year.  It always feels like a fresh start.  And who doesn't love that feeling?  But remember to make it more than a feeling.  Back it up with action! Happy New Year!  Welcome 2025!
