COVID 19 day 43: random thoughts

My Apple watch ⌚️ gives monthly challenges and April was 302 miles running or walking. I’m only 5 miles from completing the challenge after my 13.1 mile run this morning! Yahoo! Can’t wait to get that medal 🏅.

It’s my brother in law’s birthday today!!! The kids and I dropped off coffee this morning and got to see cousins for a quick min which always fills me up even if I can’t give them a squeeze.

I’ve made 2 gluten free treats in the last week. Cookies (which didn’t turn out great) and brownies which were a little better?

It was demo day over here today! We’re taking down a wall and opening up our whole main floor. We’re all pretty excited about this!

Sten and I have 3 episodes of Tiger King left and all I want to do is finish it. I felt like the first couple episodes were meh, but nowwwwww ahhhhh!!!!

We took Qwirkle out to play today while Sigge was napping and I forgot how much I enjoy that game. It’s really fun now that Lucy’s old enough to understand games. I think I could play games all day.

I finished Harry Potter today and am now reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

I have 2 laundry baskets of clothes to fold that have been sitting in our room since Sunday...

Thankful for:
1. Avocados
2. Books
3. Apple Watch challenges
4. Baking

Dan and Pam +

One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go. This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time. Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom! Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂 Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop. Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04. Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another. Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals. Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂 As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing. Memories upon memories with this crew. xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today. My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there. Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
