I mean the spread was really GOOD. I made two whipped cheeses (brie and feta) from this book: I’ll Bring the Apps, and did a signature blackberry bramble cocktail alongside wine, beer, and hopwater. Friends, networking people, and new people all came. It was a perfect mix, and the right number of people, and I just had a wonderful time hosting my happy hour last night.
It’s been a rough week. Bob took Bob’s Big Adventure in which he broke out a window, ran his paws off, got taken to the shelter by a kind neighbor, and had to be recovered hours later. I thought he was gone for good as we canvassed the neighborhood on bikes.
The baby has been sick for what’s really her first sickness, and she’s so happy throughout. She’s just incredibly happy, it’s awesome. Like nothing really dims her joy. I hope she gets that from her mama … who is having a hard time holding onto her light.
But there have been lots of hours of happy, in the midst of a lot of fear, frustration, and anxiety (job searching is HARD). I’m grateful for:
- Cousins who consider themselves siblings
- Taking the girls to school
- Bob’s safe return
- TENNIS! time to learn a new sport!
- a Wednesday brunch and catch up
- Josephine House lunch with besties from out of town
- FaceTimes
- cooler weather, open windows (until Bob jumps through them)
- a rustic wedding weekend getaway
- Grandma <3
- Easter brunch with the fam
- Cowboy Pool time
- Full days with Sanne with adventures to the library or the little gym and lots of walks
- I really love this drink: Sol-Ti
- I am excited about a Rent the Runway subscription to find the right officiant jumpsuit for an upcoming wedding
- Driving my dad’s truck
- Snail mail from TWO friends this week!!
