Happy Friday

 Happy Friday Friends!

This week has been busy!  So busy in fact that I didn't even realize until yesterday that my kids don't have school today.  I'm thankful they reminded me yesterday so I didn't set alarm clocks.  That right there, is probably my favorite this week.

Here are a few more favorites of mine from the week.

~ONE~

Good company, instant friends and a gorgeous Fall evening.

On Wednesday we hosted a dinner for a missionary family that was passing through town.  The couple also has 3 kids, and it was sweet to see our kids all become instant friends.  Both of our oldest daughters found each other on Instagram and Snapchat so they can keep in touch, which I think is so fun.

~TWO~

I am excited to be starting a new study soon.  When I read and study on my own, I don't push myself hard enough, so I'm ready to be pushed by my group of women.  We knew we wanted to study Ruth, but we just weren't sure which study to use.

We finally decided to do the Ruth study with Kelly Minter and I'm hoping it becomes a favorite!  I've heard a lot of good things about Kelly Minter's studies, and then some "okay" reviews.  I'm hoping that we really like her.  Have any of you done her studies before?  Also, I'd love to hear who's studies you love doing.  So far Beth Moore has been my favorite, but I wanted to branch out and see what else is out there.

~THREE~

This pumpkin mug is a new favorite.

I found it on Amazon, and felt that I needed it.  ;)  I like mugs with a nice handle.  Which for me means a handle that isn't too small.  So, I was excited when I found this one.

~FOUR~

I shared a few days ago about some sweet care package ideas for those college kids in your life, but really, who says it has to be a college kid?  I don't know if you're like me, but I've already been keeping my eyes open for Christmas gifts.  I know, I know... but I like to keep my eyes open and get what I can when I can, so I don't have to do it all at once.

If you missed that post, you can check that out here, otherwise feel free to pin this image and come back to it later.  ;)

~FIVE~

I opened a new Instagram account, and I'd love for you to come follow me if you haven't already!  I'm really excited about it!  I've only ever had my personal one but my kids follow it, and so do their friends... so I've always tried to be careful not to embarrass my kids.  Well, now I can just embarrass myself.  ;)

I'm still keeping my personal account for family related stuff, but my new account will be centered around my blog and my daily happenings.  So be sure and go check it out.

Well, that's it for today.  I'm going to go refill my coffee mug and head on over to check out what you all have been up to!

Today I'm linking up with Andrea, Erika & Narci.

Have the best weekend!
