Almost spring break: We are now ~10 days out from spring break (!!!). We had a really chill weekend, and I'm so glad. The past ~5 years or so Asher has always had the State swim meet the weekend right before (or very close) to when we've left for spring break. I remember being out… Continue reading Almost spring break, lifeguarding + luck and the Chinese farmer
Friday night we had a nice chill evening. The weather warmed up enough, sort of, that I took Charlie on a really long walk after work and talked to my dad on the phone. (It was not "warm" but better than it's been.) Then I ran out of time to shower (I never showered in… Continue reading Weekend so far
Awww, Asher's 1st high school swim season is officially over for him now! 😥 He swam at Sectionals yesterday, but as was completely expected, will not be swimming at Division 1 High School State next weekend. Several of the juniors and seniors on his team did qualify (you have to place in the top 24… Continue reading Swim’s over + V-Day
We had a really nice weekend! The main event for us was Asher's big Conference swim meet on Saturday, which is the beginning of the post-season for high school swim. They taper them to perform well at this meet, the boys all wear their fancy racing tech suits, etc. The meet was Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading The weekend, etc. + the internet gets me
Work has been SO BUSY lately that I have been more excited than usual when the weekends roll around. I mean, things are going well at work overall and much of the work is very interesting and engaging, but it's just very go-go-go all day long. And some days seem to stretch later than I… Continue reading Weekend and a little work mystery
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
This weekend, in comparison to last weekend's intense weekend, had some very welcome breathing room in it. Asher ended up getting a last minute invite to go up north on Thursday afternoon with his friend and his friend's dad to their lake house. So he was gone. He got home Sunday night, at 9:30 p.m.… Continue reading A much needed breather + blogger meet up!
Annnnd the very choppy blogging schedule continues. Sigh. The week has been basically a continuation of previous recent weeks. I will not lie and say this post-Hawaii summer has been my most awesome summer. But, nothing is overtly horrible (at all!), either, and I also cannot exactly figure out how to express my discontent without… Continue reading An intense weekend
Gosh, I do not know what is UP but I just have not had much time to blog lately. Seems like I've been writing only one post every 5-6 days, which is so much lower than my typical cadence. This weekend was busy, so I guess that explains that part. Friday My last post was… Continue reading Weekend, birthday, OFFICIAL NEW DRIVER, etc….
This past weekend was so fun!!! A bit of a busy whirlwind trip, but so fun. Ethan had a soccer game in Minneapolis, which is about a 4 hour drive from our house. (It was supposed to be two games, but ended up being only one- long story.) When I'd heard about the Minneapolis games,… Continue reading Minneapolis fun + friends!!
GRATEFUL KAE
