I’ve been a part of our church choir for the past three years or so. We rehearse every Wednesday night, and sing every Sunday morning. I’m also a part of our praise team, which means I sing my Alto part at the front of the stage with a microphone, the third Sunday of every month. AndI love it! I love learning new songs and new parts and new harmonies. The harmonies are my favorite actually. …
OK y’all. I know I’m about 6 months late to the party, but whoa dang! This movie! It is so stinking good! Jeff and I finally watched “The Greatest Showman” last night, and I was instantly obsessed by the first song. Duh. Why wouldn’t I be?! I had sooo many friends dying for me to watch it, and each of them assuring me I would love it. I knew I would of course, I just never got around to it. But wow I’m so glad I finally did. Each and every song gave me chills. I was so very impressed with so many of the actors and their voices. (I mean, I had no idea Michelle Williams could sing like that!) I shared this on Instagram last night, and I got tons of responses from people excited for me to finally see it, and also sharing how much they love it.

As I’ve blogged about before, Jeff and I are going on a Royal Caribbean cruise in October for our 5-year wedding anniversary. He had his passport renewed right before our honeymoon, so his is still valid. But mine conveniently expired last month. Ugh. So I had to go through the whole rigmarole (y’all know that word, right?) of getting mine renewed. …

It has been a long, full, amazing first Mother’s Day for me. We spent all day with family, and it was just a special day. You can’t really ever know how much your parents love you, until you become a parent yourself, and experience this kind of motherly love for yourself. Having my little precious girl now, puts my own mother, and everything she does for us, in a whole new light. (I know it’s cliche, but wow it’s so true.) So thank you Mommy, for being the most amazing mother!

This morning started out with a special Mother’s Day outing, all by myself! First, I went to Lucky Goat for a quiet breakfast. I had the chocolate caramel cold brew (which is the flavor of the month) and a pistachio muffin. Both were super yummy. Then I went to get a much-needed pedicure! …

This Friday has been full of lots of good things! This morning started out with a sweet Mommy & Me breakfast at Emerson’s daycare. She had strawberries & pancakes, and I had the most delicious blueberry scone in the history of ever.

Today was one of those “regular” days where nothing big or extraordinary happens. It’s just normal. But there is still lots of “good” to be found in the normal.

So a quick note first – Jeff and I both work downtown, only a couple of blocks from each other, so we carpool almost every single day, with a few exceptions when needed. He drives, then drops me off & picks me up each day. Today, he got stuck a work at little late, so I walked the three blocks down to his office. It was windy (I kept having to hold my dress down!) and warm. We’re not quite to the sweltering Florida summer yet, so it’s still tolerable to walk a quarter-of-a-mile at 5pm. In a few weeks, that will probably not be true anymore.

After we picked up Emerson from daycare tonight, we ran in to Trader Joe’s for a couple of things. We ended up getting a few “extras” while we were there, and enjoyed a Chinese food feast for dinner! I slightly burned the chicken fried rice in the skillet (womp womp), but it was still edible. Both of us said our favorite was the little pork dumplings. So good, and it was all only like 10-ish bucks! Emerson had peas, strawberries, and some of the rice, which she loved!

We’ve technically already had THREE birthday celebrations/meals for him in the last few days (dinner Saturday, dinner Sunday, lunch today), but today is finally his actual birthday! Today he turned 37. (He’s seven years older than me, FYI.) I just wanted to share a short by slightly sappy journal post, in honor of his special day today! I’m just so dang thankful that this sweet, freckled & bearded man is my hubby! He takes such good care of our little family, and makes me laugh with his cheesy jokes. So glad the Lord saw fit for us to find each other, almost seven years ago now. Praying for another great year of life for him, as a 37-year-old! Love you, Babes! …
