Happenings.

Here’s what’s been going on lately:

Had a day off. Went for a sunny 2 hr trail run with these beauties and it was exactly the thing that made me feel like me. 

80 degree day means bread rose at a phenomenal rate and made the house smell ultra heavenly. 

Sten and I went out for a date at Forepaughs and although we’ll never be able to  afford to go there again, the act of getting dressed up, putting on mascara for the first time in 2026, and having car time, restaurant time and after dinner drink time made for an amazing evening. 

We went to see Great Grandma on Saturday and Sigge was such a great visitor. He even showed her how he can put his leg behind his head. She couldn’t even look! 

We had chocolates and talked about our day. I hope we brightened up her mood for the hour we were there. I don’t want to get old and forget my people. 😢

A happy little thing right now is growing flowers in my classroom! They sprouted so fast. We’re tracking their growth in our sprout journal and that’s also pretty cute. 

Reading a new book in the sun. 

A walk with my crew. Also stopped at Knokes and paid for our candy with change (which we all know is “free money”). 

Life is ups and downs lately for me... kind of like the weather... one day it is 80 and the next it 'feels like 19'. I snuggled in bed with Lucy after breakfast this morning tho, and I felt like- I think this is it, this is life. ups and downs, good days, not so good days. days where you crush a run, days where you feel like the run crushes you. I was laying there, perfectly content despite the ups and downs and I thought to myself, I think this is the point too, that we can still find joy each day if we look for it.

 

goal for this week: laugh more. I want to be someone who laughs easy... is this a practiced skill? idk, but I am going to try to practice. I will report back on my laugh measurement! 

another goal for this week: memorize 4 verses of James 1.
