Currently. . .November 2025

We'll be talking about what we're currently loving, looking forward to, smelling, preparing for, and thankful for.

I have never participated in this blogger link-up but alway enjoy reading others' posts so here we go. It's called "Currently" and is hosted by Jenn at My Joyful Life. She has had a tough 18 months and I admire that she has processed everything not by "disappearing" and doing it on her own, but bringing us (the blogging world) along, allowing us to pray for her, give her advice, listen, and encourage. Here we go!

Currently LOVING:

I love having two dogs in the house:

They are probably waiting for their fish oil pill - this is where they sit while I get it out for them every morning at 730. Chelsea (left) is 13 this year (we think - she just "showed up" at our house one fall day 12 years ago and never left) and Radar is Erin's adopted puppy - we celebrated his first birthday (again, a guess) on January 1st this year.

Time to read and/or listen to books. The above are some of my favorites from this year. I'm currently listening to this one:

and I'm finding myself laughing out loud - so unusual for me. So far, this is a good one :)

Cozy fall decor - I'm not home a lot in the evenings, but when I am, this is my vantage point (we've already had the fireplace on a few times too) and I really do like this vibe in my house.

Currently LOOKING FORWARD TO:

This one is easy -

This December wedding!

Engagement pictures have been done -

Dresses ordered and altered, reservations made, and, last weekend, the bride celebrated at her shower:

Currently SMELLING:

Right this minute I am sitting outside on a beautiful fall afternoon smelling the "dry" that comes with fall. In the evenings I love burning fall candles like pumpkin and cinnamon or anything fall-spice-y.

Currently PREPARING FOR:

The wedding!!! Also, Thanksgiving is the week before so preparing for that too. . .we kind of always do the same thing for that (in the notebook on the left) so it's just a matter of shopping for and putting it all together. I got these brand new GREAT planners (playbooks) from The Lazy Genius - my notebook is almost full so this was perfect timing for me :). I bought the travel and projects playbooks also.

Currently THANKFUL for:

Wow. . .there is just always so much. . .

Working outside in the afternoon when the weather (still!) allows :)
