As Told By Felicia

I have read some really great books lately! I meant to link up with Steph and Jana for Show Us Your Books last week and completely forgot, but here is my (super late) contribution to the link up ! I seem to be in this weird pattern of reading, where I read nonstop like 5 books in a week, then don't read anything for 3 weeks and repeat the process over and over again. I have also been putting books aside a lot more, and trying to find something that catches my interest pretty quickly. I think that's because I usually read before bed, and want the book to be captivating enough so that it doesn't put me to sleep. Overall, it's been a great reading month! I haven't had any misses yet, at least from books that I have completely finished. Maybe next month I will add a list of books I put down... although that may make it a long post at the rate I'm going lol. Anyway, I thought I would lump together a bunch of the books I read throughout March and April so f

Today was Easter. Although I was incredibly grateful to be with my family, all I could think about was one thing: we are still child-less when all we want in this world is to be parents. I love my nieces and nephew, but it's not the same. Today, I longed to have my own baby with me during the Easter egg hunt at my mother-in-law's, instead of watching my sisters-in-law with their children. Holding my 5-month-old niece in my arms was so hard- because over a year ago, I thought that I would be holding my own in my lap at Easter dinner. I can't help but feel like there's a void in my heart. I can't help but think over and over again, I wasn't expecting this . In this season of waiting, I have struggled to accept what seems to be so unfair. I can only hope and pray that one day, hopefully soon, we will get to have these special traditions with our baby. That's really all I can say at this point. Sometimes it helps me to just get it out... and if this resonates

I thought this could be a fun way to wrap up my month. I love this idea from all the bullet journal videos I watch so I thought I'd adapt it to blog format! Something I've learned (or rather affirmed) through this month long blog post: my life is boring lol and I need to get out more! Also... this was kind of a fail, and I didn't post every day but thought I'd still share anyway. 1. TGIF! Val actually had the weekend off so we went toDave & Buster's. Terrible food but great company. 2. Hubby and I saw Shinedown and Papa Roach in concert, as a belated birthday celebration for his 35th! 3. Husband vs. the stomach bug 🤮... wife vs. anti-bac and the toilet 🤢 4. Hubby continued to recover while I worked from home... then guess who also came down with the bug that night 🤢 5. I took the day off work to recover... it was pretty awful. 6. Felt so much better but still had body aches and was exhausted. I worked from my laptop when I could. We watched The Hitma
