For Today: April 30, 2025

Looking out my window...

it's sunny and warm.

I am hoping...

that Dan feels much better. He's getting an iron infusion today, and after tomorrow he'll have a week off from the chemo pills. 

I am thinking...

about how we finally ordered our new home, and how I'm looking forward to moving.

This is the lot model, ours will be a dark gray color. 

I am thankful...

that Dan and I are going away this weekend! We are going to A Weekend to Remember -a marriage retreat by Family Life ministries. It's going to be up in Portland, Maine. 

One of my favorite things...

is springtime. Yesterday was a warm day and I took a walk with Andi and Sid. 

I am creating...

more colorful and fun weekly and monthly spreads in my Happy Planner. 

I am listening to...

the audio book called The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. It's a novel about a love story about a Jew who was imprisoned at Auschwitz during WWII and forced to tattoo numbers on the incoming prisoners. It's based on a true story, and it's really well written. 

I am wearing...

jeans and a tan sweater with white stripes.

I am reading...

Almost Amish: One Woman's Quest for a Slower, Simpler, more Sustainable Life  by Nancy Sleeth. It's gotten better, and I'm finding that the author has a sense of humor. I'm just reading it very slowly. 

I am watching...

the TV series Community. I got Dan to try it, and he likes it!  I watched it years ago with the kids-so funny! 

I am learning...

from a new website called Brilliant where you can review and learn new math skills, plus science, coding, logic and technology. It's actually fun so far! 

In my kitchen...

I made veggie and rice soup and froze over half of it. It's probably the last time I'll make soup until fall. 

A quote...

A moment from this week...

this past Sunday Erin's friends put on a baby "sprinkle" for Erin.
