I feel like I get so much less time these days to write out and record my weeks and days. I only really get to do that on seldom occasions. I am also procrastinating on writing a paper, so this is what I do to avoid it! 😉

So Friday, went to the Smith Hall Fall Film Festival. It was great! The boys did a great job and it was enjoyable. We got to dress up and eat popcorn and watch really funny short films.

Saturday I woke up and spent the day in Oak Glen with my residents. It was honestly such a great time and so refreshing. We got apple cider, took pictures, ate yummy food, and just enjoyed each other’s presence. Here are some, well a lot of, pictures:

Then, Sunday I went to church which was so good. I love my church family and am always so blessed by them. One of the handful of things that scare me about leaving Riverside in the future is that I will not be with my church family and my actual, blood family. Anyways, after church, I went home and spent time with my family. My brother Marty and his wife Sandie came over to drop of my new car and then eat dinner with the family. It was so nice to have all of us together. I can’t help but think that after May I might be somewhere other than in Riverside and times like these may not happen as often. It was a sweet time.

Here’s a picture of me and my new car:

 Out of all the things that have made me “feel” like an adult, a new car has definitely given me that feeling. Being able to go where I want and go when I want to go has been freeing and definitely has make me feel 10 years older and more responsible. I can’t explain it, but it was almost like a rite of passage for me. I am thankful for it.

Hopefully I will get to blog again soon…sooner rather than later. ❤
