Hello, April!
Welcome! I hear you’re going to be laden with showers here at the start, but I’m
hoping that positions us well for some beautiful May Flowers. I’m excited for
this month. I love Easter and Ryan’s birthday and all the spring everything. I’m
ready for it!
I have a few
dreams and goals for this month, so I’m jotting them down here to stay accountable
to following through!
ONE. Speaking of Easter and Ryan’s birthday, I need to figure out my
Easter basket and birthday gift plans for this year – as well as a plan for
what we’re doing to celebrate Ryan’s birthday! As we’re in the place to finally
take a breath after the whirlwind of the past few months, I am ready to begin
thinking ahead to celebratory plans.
TWO. I need to get an updated driver’s license and a library card
this month. I’ve been waiting on documentation in my name so I could prove my
residency, and I now have what I need! I’m waiting on the license until I have a
fresh haircut and color, so it’ll be just a few days before I’m ready to check
these two items off, but I’ll get there.
THREE. April is too early to plant flowers around here (and have hope
that they WILL survive), but it’s not too early to plan for flowers. I need to
go to the garage and survey the planters and pots I have, so I can figure out
what I want to place where – and then decide what kind of plants I want to put
in each one. The previous owners of our home left three big, beautiful planters
that I know I want to use, and we have a built-in planter box on the back
patio, but beyond that, I need to figure out what will go where. I might not be
able to use it all, and that’s okay. But I want to have a plan when it’s time
to plant!
FOUR. Neither Ryan nor I have much vacation time accumulated, but we
are committed to continuing our tradition of taking some sort of little weekend
getaway for our birthdays. It might not take place for several weeks yet, but I
want to figure out where and when we are going so I can begin my planning for
that as well.
FIVE. I’m doing a freelance writing project that should be ready for
me to begin this month. I’m writing a baby’s story for his parents…in his
memory. He was stillborn several weeks ago, and this is actually the second
time this family has experienced infant loss. I wrote their other baby’s story
a few years ago and am honored to be entrusted with this son’s story as well. I
want to do my very best to preserve his life story for them!

Hurray for April and some fun celebrations for your family. In NY all I had to do was tell the DMV that I moved and they reprinted my ID no new pic - easy peasy!
