This is gonna be short because I still need to clean up dinner with Ry, take the dog for a walk with The Husband, and get ready for bed to watch Survivor!
I know it’s cheesy, I don’t care. It’s these little things that keep me going, and I need all the little things at a moment. I feel like I’m on an emotional rollercoaster.
Other things that are keeping me going…
This kid!
Who is smashing his transition to High School!
I’m proud of both kids at the moment. Ry is absolutely killing it at his full-time job, and he is transitioning to second shift next week. We cooked dinner together tonight, and it was great.
Training for this!
I took the leap and registered this week!!
Baking Bread
I’ve declared Saturdays “Sourdough Saturdays,” and I’m challenging myself to make a new sourdough loaf every Saturday. That was my first Jalapeno Cheddar loaf.
This Guy
He even dressed up for me a couple of weeks ago for a party.
Oh! And if you read last week’s post, I decided not to go to Greece. It’s not financially feasible, and I really want to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary over Spring break.

Sometimes it’s the small things 😊. Glad you made a decision about your trips and now you have so many things to look forward to and a goal for your training. The bread looks delicious!
