2018 - Meet the Shaneyfelts

We have an exciting announcement…

WE ARE ADOPTING!!!!

Oh, how I want to hug each and every one of you reading this out of pure joy and excitement as we wait on precious Baby Shaneyfelt!

Adoption was laid on our hearts over two years ago with the agreement that we would adopt one day. But we know that God’s plans are bigger (and better!) than our plans, so we are adopting much sooner than we planned for ourselves. Are we sad about it? Not one bit! I plan on sharing our story of how we were brought to this point just because I want to show you God’s goodness and grace in our lives. He is always good.

We are launching our first fundraiser this week, so I will be posting about it either Thursday or Friday! We’re in the early stages of the adoption process, so I plan on doing lots of adoption posts in the future!

Please be in prayer for us as we navigate this, and especially for the sweet lady who will selflessly choose us to parent her baby.

And lastly, I want to leave you with a few pictures from our adoption announcement session. It really pays to have your sister be a professional photographer 😉

Happy Friday, y’all!

First, I want to thank you for your kind words regarding Dustin’s grandmother–one of the many reasons why I love the blogging community is because of the friendships formed!

Speaking of the blogging community, I am so aggravated that the comment notifications are STILL not working! I hate not being able to respond back to everyone’s comments. So, if you have a comment that you want me to respond to (until this stuff is fixed), please email me so I can respond to you!! My email is saraheshaneyfelt@gmail.com.

As usual, today I’m sharing a bunch of my FAVORITES!!

THIS is hilarious and also describes my childhood with Rachel very well haha! Rachel was a bad child 😜 and I remember my mom telling me that SHE was the parent and I should let her parent–I’m sure I had told her to spank my sister after she did something haha! That’s what happens when you’re 4 years older than your sister!

Rachel and I eat lunch together every Tuesday and it’s something that I really look forward to this summer! She had told me that day that one of her coworkers asked if I ever wore makeup because she hadn’t seen me wear it either in person or in any pictures lately haha! Rachel had to assure her that I, in fact, did wear makeup and that I wore it often…just not much in the summer. Anyone else? I’m not a makeup wearer unless I am going somewhere.

Speaking of not wearing makeup much, I’m trying to really take care of my skin now that I’m able to use retinols again. I bought this cream and have been using it for over a week and I’m really pleased with it so far! It doesn’t burn my face when I put it on (my skin is sensitive!), and once it dries, it makes my skin feel so, so good. I hope in a couple of weeks I can see my discoloration even out.

Let me explain the next couple of photos…ever since I started teaching, I have refused to go to our local swimming pool because I didn’t want to see any students. Middle school students are unique in their own way and I just knew that they’d see me out at the pool and put me on snapchat 😂😂 One of my friends had been asking me to go with her and her kids and because it’s been so unbelievably hot lately, I finally gave in. These photos are proof that I went haha!!

Jessica’s little girl, Caroline, is the cutest!!

Caroline wanted to take a picture of us next and she did a good job! Jessica was the first person to really welcome Dustin and I to our new church and we’ve become such great friends since then! My pool experience wasn’t bad at all, so I may venture back with them another time 😜

Anthropologie is having an extra 25% off their sale right now, and I spotted this online. The extra 25% the sale price makes it a really reasonable price!

Yes, this song has been out for a while, but I can’t believe I haven’t shared it yet on a Friday Faves post! If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with John Mayer! I was a little iffy when he first released this after I heard the intro, but this has become a FAVORITE song! The intro is weird, but the rest of the song is gold.

Best News Ever!

Friday Faves!

Just Popping In…
