This is the time of year when I, along with most people; reflect upon the year and ponder upon all the things we have been blessed with and to be thankful for.
I have so many things that Heavenly Father has blessed my life with, I would not even know where to begin.
As most of you are aware, if you have followed my post, Chad and I have had more than our fair share of Medical Issues to deal with last year or two.
Everything from broken bones, 🦴 knee surgery, countless trips to the hospital 🏥 and numerous hospitalizations. Even with all of this, we remain thankful. Both of us are extremely grateful and blessed to have found each other and are truly soul mates. We are both there right next to the other to help each other out.
We have been blessed as a family and grateful that Carla has moved in with us. She is a tremendous help and such a wonderful person. We are also extremely excited that we have all decided that she is going to move with us to the Farm. We look forward to converting the “ground floor or 1st floor” {she doesn’t like the idea of it being called the basement 🤣🤣} into her own apartment.
We have also been blessed with Payton becoming a Mother in a few more short months and we will become Oma and Opa!
Luckily, last month in October, I felt well enough to go to the farm for a couple of weeks and spend some time with Dad, Mom, and Hunter. Cheyenne and CoCo also came with me! I was thankful for feeling well enough to get a few things done while I was there. I did get some rest in between, so I didn’t overdo it and didn’t have too many bad headache days.
Now on to the Farm renovation updates. I know this is the part of my blog that most of you come to see anyway 😌.
The Next project I was able to work on, was my sewing/ craft room. This room was also split into two separate rooms. Had to make room for the grand baby!
I had never tried to lay laminate flooring sheet before. Normally Chad does this type of stuff, but he was back in Texas at work and he couldn’t come. I think it came out great 😌
Coco says it’s exhausting supervising all day
We had seen on TikTok videos about a supermarket in Cincinnati Ohio, that is coined the Disney land of grocery stores it’s called Jungle Jims International Market. All of us enjoy stores like World Market and other non traditional stores, so I decided it would be a fun little getaway for all of us to go see. Mom, Dad, Cheyenne, and Hunter went. Cincinnati is only a short 2 hour(ish) drive away. Some of you are probably like a 2 hour drive 😱. But after living in the Texas Panhandle for over 5 years, 2 hours is just a normal commute to the next town 😉
The store is ginormous. It’s over 6 acres or stuff.
Jungle Jim’s, has a ton of links and videos on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and you name it. Nearly every aisle is food from a different country and it is so amazing to see all the different kinds of foods that are available, I cannot wait to live closer so we can try more of the diverse food options.
Here are two links if you are interested seeing more about it:

Dad has been working on several projects around the farm. It’s nice to see the transformation the farm has made since we purchased it. I have spent countless hours researching ideas for how I envision it to be. Luckily, my Dad and Chad have been able to help me turn these ideas into reality. It is really a fun project. I have learned a ton. The best part of all of this and I am truly thankful for is all been renovated by us as a family. It’s just amazing to walk around and see something I know “hey, we did that !” Or “I love how my Dad did that” on and on in every room. I know that it will be memories we will always have.
I am Thankful, that my dreams are coming true.
