So, we’ll just call this the PRE-reveal.
The Almost There reveal of our massive upper level remodel. The reveal without the pictures on the wall and the pretty floral arrangements. And baseboards. And doorknobs. Oh, and trim.
Okay let’s not get picky.
The upper level of the house is ALMOST done,
Hey friends!
I can admit, I might be a little biased, but after spending a week with these rascals, I am feeling blessed to be their mother. (and wife–hubs went with us. Hated to leave him behind. He carried stuff. And he’s rather fun to have around. Hard to tell, I know.)
These men remind me why I write about families.
So…for two years I’ve been planning and writing this amazing series. The Montana Marshalls, an epic family series involving one amazing family who sort of end up saving each other and maybe the world. (and falling in love, and learning how much God loves them, and maybe going on fun adventures.) I love my covers,
Hey Friends!
Do you ever just want to…escape?
Yeah, I get that.
There was this.
So, I had to do this…
In full disclosure, it wasn’t just because I needed to get away from the cold. See, ten years ago I started a writing retreat for aspiring (and published) authors,
Hey friends!
29. No, that’s not my age, (how I wish).
It’s how many degrees BELOW zero it was on Wednesday. Seriously.
I spent the day looking at houses in Florida.
But during the SUPER COLD week, I managed to rewrite book #3 in the Marshall Family saga.
Hey Friends!
This is not Bubby.
Just wanted you to know.
Because often, I share Bubby pictures.
But…well, this is another of my favorites. Epic #53. (Taken at our last regular season football game last week. #footballmomeraover)
We won, so we’re off to playoffs,
Hey friends!
So…tomorrow is the big day.
Yeah…okay, sure it’s election night.
But I’m talking about—the Release Party for Wait for Me! (and, okay, I care very deeply for our country and its future, so before you come to the party, go vote. THEN, come and hang out with me!)
I’m sooooo excited for this book.Like,
What’s started?
I’ll bet you can guess…
How about THIS for a hint? (Ignore the real-life kitchen. It doesn’t ALWAYs look like this…but had a….FOOTBALL GAME to watch!)
Yes, this is Bubby watching her uncle NOAH’s first football game of the season. (We like to start the football fanaticism early here at Warren Nation)
It was the last,
Our epic summer ending came early this weekend with the sudden appearance of our Navy Corpsman, home on leave before he moves to Sicily (yes, Italy) for his last three years of enlistment.
My amazing family dropped everything to come home. And I caught this sweet pix of Pete and Bubby after church.
