Down Greenville Road

Down Greenville Road I'm just a girl trying to live a life well lived, sharing what I learn along the way. Let's be friends!

A little bit of home life, mix in some healthy recipes, all while navigating breast cancer and keeping positive through all the chaos!

Sometimes you meet people who leave an impact on your life when you least expect it.

Meet Wendy.

Several years ago, I randomly walked up to a Walmart checkout line, and Wendy happened to be the cashier. We started chatting… and that short conversation turned into her sharing pieces of her life journey and her love for Jesus. She radiated optimism and joy in such a genuine way that you couldn’t help but walk away smiling. I enjoyed our conversation so much that I asked to take a quick photo with her so I could share the experience on our page. That was about 4–5 years ago, if I had to guess.

Ever since then, whenever I’m checking out, I look for her. I will gladly wait in a long line just to say hi and see how she’s doing.

And tonight? There she was again.
I waited for her lane, we chatted just like always, and we ended the moment with another selfie—because I asked again if she would mind if I shared her beautiful outlook on life with all of you.

Wendy is very open about her medical journey, the lessons she’s learned through tough seasons, and her unwavering love for Jesus… but that part of her story is hers to tell.

What I will say is this:
I had no idea, all those years ago, that when God crossed our paths, our stories would eventually run parallel. Our medical journeys brought challenges—but they also brought purpose. Our love for Jesus carried us through the hard times and continues to lift us up every single day.

You will meet many people throughout your life.
Some of them will leave you feeling lighter, stronger, more hopeful—simply because of their kindness, their resilience, their faith, and their way of seeing the world.

So here’s the moral of the story:

If you’re lucky enough to find your own “Wendy,” let them know they’re special.

And be a “Wendy” to others—because this world can never have too much kindness.

Trust me, watch until the end.

Our Christmas tree has only been up for maybe 15 hours.

I'm taking bets on how long it takes until it comes down, thanks to our 2 furry friends at home.

Here's a photo of "the suspect" running away!! 😆

I know you got 'em... let's see photos or share your stories of your feline kids using your Christmas tree as their playground!!

This was a trigger moment for me.
Just… wearing a hat.

I used to love beanies and winter hats. They were cozy, cute, and totally “me.”
But after going through chemotherapy — after months of wearing chemo caps — the last thing I’ve wanted to put on my head is a hat.

It takes me right back to those days.
To the raw emotions of not recognizing the girl staring back in the mirror.
To watching my hair slide down the shower drain.
To the exhaustion, the nausea, the quiet moments where fear felt louder than anything else.

So when I put a hat back on now, it transports me. And the feelings are mixed — part comfort, part ache.

But healing is weird like that.
Some things take time.
Triggers are natural.
And sometimes moving forward means gently walking through the discomfort instead of around it.

So I kept the hat on.
Not because it felt easy, but because it felt like a small step toward reclaiming something I used to love.

Little by little, piece by piece… I’m finding my way back.

This was the sky on the evening of August 29, 2023. It was a Tuesday.

Earlier that day, I went in for what I thought was just a routine mammogram. Two hours later, my phone rang. A nurse told me they saw something suspicious and scheduled an ultrasound for the next morning.

I was terrified. This was nowhere on my radar.

Andy tried so hard to reassure me that everything would be okay… and I clung to his words, to his strength, with everything in me.

That evening, I ran to Target for supplies one of the kids needed for school. And as I walked out to the car, this was the sky.

No filter.
Just a brilliant, blazing pink.

I stood there, taking it in — the beauty, the stillness — while my gut twisted with the truth I already felt deep down: the doctors were going to confirm breast cancer in just a few hours.

That pink sky hit me hard.
It felt like it was whispering what I didn’t want to believe:
that I would become a lady in pink…
that I would be 1 in 8.

As much as I prayed it wouldn’t be true, I somehow already knew.

But that sky — that breathtaking, unexpected pink sky — brought me a strange sense of peace in the middle of all the chaos.

Almost like it was preparing me… reminding me… that the road ahead would be difficult, yes, but somehow, some way, it was going to be okay.

Do you ever look at a photo and wonder what you’d say to yourself if you could jump back in time to that exact moment?

I looked at this one today and felt it deep.

I would whisper in her ear…
“It’s going to be difficult and scary, but you’ll get through this. One step at a time. Hand in hand. And you’ll both be stronger than you know.”

Funny how past-us never realizes what future-us is capable of.

Our little corner of Down Greenville Road.....

Down Greenville Road, or as we like to call it, “DGR” was the start of our dream coming to life in October 2017. As hubby & wifey, we like to create urban farmhouse decor and hand painted signs using old barn wood or upcycled wood. There is beauty in even the crudiest, dirtiest piece of wood, just screaming to be brought back to life. That’s where we come in.

A little about ourselves... We are Andy & Jaime Weik. Our little corner of Greenville Road is based out of beautiful Lancaster County, in Denver, Pennsylvania. Together we have 3 amazing kids, that light up our world all while giving us grey hair. :) That is why there are 5 dots following Down Greenville Roads name..... - there are 5 in our family. And family is everything. The End.

So... thank you for following along in this amazing journey and inviting “DGR” into your home!! We hope you enjoy our hand built, hand lettered & hand painted designs in your home.... as much as we enjoy designing the pieces for you. Chat soon!! ~ Andy & Jaime
