April Recap 2020 - Lots of Randoms!

Seeing that we're already in June, I figured it was time to get my monthly updates. Stay-at-home orders were in full swing and it was wild! I think we're finally on the other end of it as orders are slowly being lifted and life is getting back to normal again - thankful.

Spent a lot of time on Marco Polo catching up with my family and friends. I'm so thankful for this app as it's keeping me in the loop though I'm far from home. 

Technology has been great especially in these moments, but I'm convinced that we were not made to simply connect over technology. In this season of staying home, I've not yearned to get out and see fresh faces more than now. 

Lots of board games and games in general.

We celebrated Grandpa's 100th birthday. We made plans for everyone to come and join in on the part, but it had to be canceled, so we baked a cake and ordered some pizza and called it good. He still loves pizza even at 100.

We've had a lot of nights that look like this. Jeff reads through his textbooks, Shepherd chills, and I'm on the bed with my laptop and a movie.

 

Entered into two official months at my current work place. It's honestly been pretty great and there's not much to complain about even if I wanted to. The place I worked at in Kansas was pretty small, but my office (we have multiple offices, but the business itself is pretty big) here is even smaller and I'm surprisingly okay with it.

Made a trip to the gas station. Ha! Wow.
Fun fact: If ever I am low on gas, I will literally drive home and have Jeffrey take us to go get gas. There's something about getting gas on my own that I hate so much. It just feels so unsafe for me. Haha. Of course I've had the privilege of working close to home so my gas thankfully makes it every time.

I hit a senior star rank with young living -- so excited about that!

Ordered my dress for Esther's wedding, but ended up hating the style of it - so returned that one. Ordered another one and I love it so we're all ready to go! 

Jeff and I worked through our taxes and did most of it on our own. To my surprise, it really isn't that hard ... just so glad to be done with it.

I started Keto! It's supposed to be a reset so I'm not relying heavily on carbs to burn energy - aka not carb dependent, but it's been a work in progress!

Lots of walking with Shepherd for our health, for his health, and to enjoy the nice spring weather.



I love how Shepherd is growing aware of reflections. He learned to look at us through the mirror - it's hilarious.



xoxo.
