We bid farewell to April today, so I’m
checking in to update you on how things went with my goals and dreams for this
month!
ONE. Celebrate Ryan’s
birthday! I wrote about our
celebration here,
but I will reaffirm it was a very good day. I loved a good excuse to spoil him
a little extra. 😊 He’s easy to celebrate, for sure!
TWO.
Finalize my garden/flower planting ideas. I didn’t do a very good job of
this one. I was sidetracked by too many other things. I have ordered one
planter (for our porch) from a girl in our neighborhood, who sells them every
year for a softball fundraiser. And we did purchase some new planter pots to
place in front of our garage as one of the existing ones cracked from top to
bottom. But beyond that, I pretty much failed at these plans.
THREE.
Work on writing and speaking. I ended up speaking three times in April and
was able to get everything planned and written ahead of time. I’ve already been
working on May, which holds four opportunities to share.
FOUR.
Work on my little coffee bar idea. Goodness. Failed on this one, too. In my
defense, we had some unexpected house projects come up that overshadowed this
one, so it’s not like I completely sat and did nothing this month. But I shall
try again on this one…maybe in May!
FIVE. Do some organizing. I did this one! I think my favorite project was redoing all
the covers and spines of my three-ring binders so they match. It made my heart
very happy. I also did some other catch-up work around the house that made my
Type-A heart sing – including catching up transferring sermon notes to my
Bible, working on a new recipe binder, making some prayer lists, and working on
my new day planner that will start in June!
And
then there were all the other things that took place this month that either
weren’t on the radar at the start of the month, or they were secret stories at
the time.
You
know…like moving my parents. We started the month with that adventure, and I’m
so thankful it is done now! I know they’re glad, too! We’re still tying up
loose ends and helping them settle, but the biggest part is done.
I
went to a baby shower at church for one of the young ladies in the Bible study
I’ve been teaching. She’s having twins, and I’m so excited for her!
We
hosted our friends who came to stay for the Solar Eclipse party, and that was
so much fun! I told you all about that here.
We
had the aforementioned unexpected house project (more on that another day) that
took over our entire lives for several days…and will be ongoing.
We have run a lot of errands on a lot of different days for a lot of different reasons!
I
took a round of senior pictures for my bonus nephew and then a round of family
pictures for our godson’s mama and her boys. (Then there was all the editing of
said photos…)
So
yes, it’s been a busy little month. But I’m grateful for it. It’s been a good
one.
