+ the month greeted me with covid. thankfully i recovered fairly quickly.
+ we stood in line to vote for over two hours. even though it did not go the way we hoped, it was not in vain.
+ i am obsessed with the magnolia network on discovery+. my favorites are joanna's cooking show + zoe bakes.
+ we got tickets to the windsurge game from my work. it was a lot of fun!
+ after the baseball game, we spent the night at my SIL's airbnb. what a nice little getaway. we really enjoyed our time out there.
+ my family came up for a weekend. we shopped + ate good food + enjoyed spending time together.
+ never did i think flared jeans would come back in style, and even more so, never did i think i would have a pair in my closet again.
+ i celebrated my 36th birthday. not the way we planned, but i am still grateful.

+ the best habit i formed this month (maybe even this year) was no social media during the weeknights. my creativity has flourished. i am reading more books.
+ what someone says behind another's back is a better representation of them than the person they are gossiping about.
+ this month marked four years of moving into our home. it is still one of the biggest blessings.
+ august is my favorite month on facebook because i get so much joy from all the first day of school photos!
4 THINGS I LOVED IN AUGUST-
1. the NYT daily mini crossword. this is a small daily habit i developed this month. it is such a small delight (like wordle) that also challenges my brain.
2. falling by tj newman. THIS BOOK, oh mylanta. i could not read it while laying down. from the first page, i was on the edge of my seat (okay, my bed). what a wonderful, wild book! one of my favorites of the year.
3. no social media on weeknights. i keep talking about this on the blog because i cannot express enough just how much this habit has changed my days. when i clock out at work, my phone is basically untouched until i get back to work the next morning. (which is also why it may take a long time for me to text you back in the evenings, sorry!)
4. my kindle. after collecting dust for years, i had a hold from the library come though. i had already been waiting six weeks to read the book, so i charged my kindle + downloaded the book. i forgot how much i love this form of reading!
