If anyone is still out there reading, I have been MIA in the blog world this past month. I even missed this link up, one of my favorites, last month. Today, I am jumping back in after a hiatus of blogging. I'll try to recap a little below of what has been going on in our world the past month.
What we're eating this week........
Monday - baked chicken & veggies, roasted potatoes, and good 'ol corn muffins
Tuesday - slow cooker chicken tacos
Wednesday - ???
Thursday - ???
Friday - pizza
What I'm reminiscing about.........
Montana vacation - It was a year ago this month we took our family vacation to Montana.
What I'm loving..........
I am loving a slow summer. We have no family vacations planned, but it makes for a slow paced summer. That being said, our girls are traveling, but I am in town.
What we've been up to.......
For this one, a few things since I haven't blogged in a month!
We did go to church camp for a few days last month.
Brook had her last day of school
Isabella graduated from high school (I do have a post on this coming soon!)
We attended college orientation for Isabella.
I went with Brook and a friend and her mom to see Ariana Grande in concert.
On a sad note, our church family experienced a loss in a tragic death of a friend. It has been hard, yet our community has come together and grieved well. This is still weighing heavy on so many people though and we are earnestly praying for this family.
What I'm dreading.........
It has been a hard month, no doubt, in different ways. In light of that, I am trying not to dread anything, but be thankful.
What I'm working on........
In light of so many friends of my daughter going to college, I am writing sorority recommendations each week. I am also still working full time, so that obviously takes most of my time. If all goes well, I need to work on more meal planning too!
What I'm excited about..........
Oh my, this is easy...time with a friend this weekend
What I'm watching..........
Bachelorette
Kelly and Ryan
Saturday night Hallmark movies :)
What I'm reading.........
Our Sunday School class is studying the book of Ruth for the summer and I am reading through that as well at home.
I haven't started it yet, but I want to read a book I ordered called
I Declare War, Winning the Battle with Yourself by Levi Lusko.
What I'm listening to........
Greg Laurie podcasts
Focus on the family podcasts
Proverbs 31 podcasts
Spotify daily mix playlists - I love listening to different genres of playlists that Spotify has based on my preferences.
What I'm wearing..........
It is hot in the summer, but I am wearing jeans and a short sleeve top 99% of the time.
What I'm doing this weekend.........
It has been 2 1/2 years since I have seen my best friend from Bogota and she is coming to visit!
What I'm looking forward to next month........
We have tickets to see Hamilton and also I am having a reunion night with a few of my college roommates/sorority sisters. Avery and I will also get a night out while our girls go out of town for a few days next month too.
What else is new..........
I was able to get in a visit with the cutest little kids I know a few weeks ago (of course, those are my greats, which is how I lovingly refer to my great nephew and great niece).
I had breakfast last week with my 5th & 6th grade teacher. Long story, but we were close and reconnected via facebook a few years ago. She was in town and we were able to visit.
Also, Brook had her wisdom teeth out last week, so that made for a low key weekend for us.
That is all for today, but I will be back Friday with a belated graduation post.
