- we ventured down to oklahoma for some family time + fishing + exploring. it was so fun! i also helped mom out with some taxes + bookkeeping work.
- i worked from home a couple days this month.
- we bought into a fishing lease for the year. we spent several evenings out there. i read a book while the boys went out on the water + fished.
- we spontaneously took a short trip back down to oklahoma one weekend. my SIL + her family came with us. it was one of my favorite mini-trips. we hung out at a coffee shop, sipping lattes + chatting. we stopped by to show them the life-sized optimus prime. we fished + explored some family property. and before we left, we ate pizza together, and of course we stopped by one more coffee shop. it was so delightful.
- jared + i celebrated six years of marriage! we took a short overnight camping trip to cheney lake.
- spring flowers started blooming + my soul is happy.

- things are not always what they seem. i know this, of course. but i witnessed someone struggling this month. i have said on more than once occasion how this person never seems to have troubles or always has it “good”. and while i am not happy this person was struggling, i needed to see it firsthand that the things we assume + the things we see on social media are not a reflection of the whole picture.
- i am finding ways to work “smarter not harder” in my everyday life. whether that’s mapping out my weekly to-do list, putting my phone down to do small tasks that make a difference in the future, etc.
- you don’t need a gym membership to get an intense workout. just take luna on a walk + you’ll burn alllllllll the calories because homegirl is crazy.
- i MUST make a grocery list. it’s not possible for me to remember every little thing. i’ll inevitably forget one major item every single time.
- studying church history + theology felt so daunting when i began, but i am learning so much and how it shapes what i believe.
- practicing daily gratitude helps me focus my heart on the things that truly matter.
- did you know a macbook can get a virus? they’re not “supposed to” be able to get them, but mine somehow did. so i’m typing this whole post from my ipad. i’m also making a mental reminder to not put off writing these monthly until the last day of the month. i document my days pretty well in my bullet journal, but i don’t like rushing to get it posted.
