CURRENTLY - MAY EDITION


I can't believe May is almost over!! I say that every month. You'd think I'd get used to the months zipping by, but here we are at another month's end.  This month was CRAZY.  We moved. And that was super stressful and a big mess. I don't have a lot to show for this month except turning another year older (yay!) and packing all of our STUFF again. 

I thought it would be fun to do a CURRENTLY post to get back into the swing of blogging. I plan on blogging more this summer...but we'll see how that goes.

Reading... several books right now. I've finally started reading again. I think I had only read like 4 books this year prior to this month. I'll do a book update soon. 

Watching... Pretty Little Liars right now (it's easy to have on in the background while I'm working). We are also loving a few new (to us) shows on Netflix: Mysteries of Laura, Cristella, and a TON of documentaries. 

Trying... to get back into eating right. It's been FOREVER. I actually cancelled my WW membership while we were preparing to move. I just wasn't committed to doing the plan. Unfortunately, it's starting to show. I haven't weighed recently, but I have a feeling it's gone up about 5 pounds. No bueno.

Cooking... nothing. Not a thing. And needing to fix that. Pronto.

Eating... a ton of fast food. UGH. But, we are planning a big grocery shopping trip this weekend, and hopefully we'll be back to eating semi healthy soon.

Drinking... water mostly. I also got some vanilla sleepy time tea that I am kind of loving. 

Calling... nobody. I hate talking on the phone.

Texting... my sweet friend Melissa. I bother her all day long with randomness. 

Pinning... mostly recipes. If I cooked as much as I pinned...we'd be all set.  

Tweeting... nothing. I just don't get it. Still.

Going... on a lunch date with C tomorrow. All this talk about eating healthy and we are looking forward to eating out (again) tomorrow. But...we have been talking about doing this for a while. 

Loving...  snuggling with miss Daphne (the cat) each night. She's just so precious.

Discovering... that I am very restless right now. I mean, I think I've felt it brewing for a while...but I am just realizing that I am so ready for some major changes.

Thinking... all the things I want and need to do. Sometimes I feel like my brain goes too fast. Do y'all have that?

Feeling... excited about what is ahead! There are a lot of unknowns in my future, but I cannot wait to see what the Lord has up His sleeve! OKAY, I got this prompt from Bailey a while back and I am just leaving her original answer here. Because it is exactly what I'm thinking!!

Hoping (for)... a fun three day weekend with C. We have nothing planned (other than lunch tomorrow and church Sunday) and I am SO excited about that. 

Listening (to)... Randy Rogers Band station on Pandora. LOVE. 

Celebrating... my cousin is getting married tomorrow. She is getting married out of state and we aren't going, but I am so excited for her.

Smelling... the banana I just ate. I love bananas but hate that smell. 

Ordering... well, thinking about ordering some new clothes online. I am desperate for some new clothes. In the worst way.

Thanking... my mom for helping us out so much during the move. She's pretty great. And that we don't have the worlds most annoying neighbors anymore.

Considering... different career opportunities. I have my mind set on one thing, but I am thinking about trying a few other options. Ready to see what happens. 

Starting... to wake up earlier. Ever since we moved, I've been going to bed at a "normal" time and waking up early (for me). Yay!

Finishing... up the month with big ideas for this summer. 

What's going on with y'all?

HEY MAY


I'm a couple of days late, but Happy May Y'all.

So April was crazy, but also kind of a bust. We are moving next week, so we were getting stuff together most of April. And by getting stuff together, I mean I was mostly panicking and in denial about moving. Again.

Mostly I'm excited about moving away from where we are. Just a bad situation with neighbors (AWFUL) and our internet and phones have not worked properly since we moved here. We live by a creek/forest and at the lower level of the neighborhood. I mean, we live in the city...but apparently it's kind of a hole for technology. So that's fun.

But, I'm also freaking out. We have moved SO many times since we got married. Not on purpose. Just how life has worked out. And we've always lived in pretty nice places and had great opportunities. BUT....I just never imagined we wouldn't be living in our own home at this stage. Hopefully, this move will be the last one before that happens!! I am grateful though, to have a roof over my head. And all this stuff that we keep packing up. Trying to look at the positives.

I'm going to take May pretty easy goal wise. Just continuing to work on my daily habits. I am upping my daily step goal.

1. Make daily to-do list
2. Duolingo lesson each day.
3. Track for WW
4. 6ksteps each day
5. Read SRT daily
6. Drink a 20 oz glass of water first thing
7. Read before bed.

Just a few other goals for the month:
1. Celebrate my birthday!!! (the 10th)
2. MOVE
3. Get back on track with WW (post coming soon)
4. Go to a baseball game (maybe!)
5. Find a swimsuit (dread!)
6. Read a few books
7. Keep looking for a job

We are going out with family tonight to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!!! My grandparents are moving closer to us, so it's fun to see them more often!!
