Haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd give it a go! Currently, I have been...

 Watching: Criminal Minds & Lucifer on Netflix, and all the Reading Rush vlogs on YouTube

 Reading: Throne of Glass (and LOVING it!). I just love Sarah J. Maas' writing style.

 Listening: to my "Happy." playlist on Spotify, and an audiobook on Scribd (Immortal in Death by JD Robb)

Shopping: I just bought myself a new fantasy book (Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson), sandals to replace an old pair that I had to throw out, and a Picture Exchange resource on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Loving:
Nora Roberts | I used to think of her as an author that my mom or aunt would read, but she's prolific for a reason. Her writing is just great and she is so versatile.

 Reading fantasy | I've been in the mood for reading to escape lately, and nothing does a better job of that than a fantasy story!

 Universal Thread shorts | These are the perfect length and I'm obssessed with the wash and how they fit.

 Universal Thread sandals| For a flat sandal, these are surprisingly comfortable. I like how they wrap-around my foot and are not an open back shoe - when you work with kiddos you never know when you have to take off after them!

 Purse from Amazon | I bought this bag months ago and have been using it for my daily bag, but it really came through for me when exploring DC with friends a couple weeks ago. Its lightweight, the perfect size, and was well worth the money (under $20!). I'm still using it as my daily bag.

 Baseball hats | (nothing new... I've just been loving wearing them!)

 Using my library (& Overdrive) | Both my wallet and lack of bookshelf space are thanking me for this recent obsession. I am hoping to get to the library and take out physical books in person soon. It's hard with summer hours and working full time to get there sometimes. Heres a peek at my current loans... I may have too many out lol

 Looking forward to: going to the waterpark with my sisters-in-law/ nieces & nephew next month

 What's new with you guys? I'd love to chat life, lately in the comments below!

 Linking up with Lindsay.

    Dude, how did I not know that Tar-Jay sold wide shoes? I've been looking around east Guam since Payless closed!

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

The best news I could ever share.

I haven't posted in a while. But, it's been for a really good reason, I promise. "For this child, we have prayed, and the Lord has granted us the desires of our heart." Someone pinch me... I can't believe this is real. I  feel so blessed and unbelievably happy that I get to share some wonderful news- we are expecting our first baby! We are so excited to finally be parents. I'm due early September and can honestly say that it can't come soon enough.  ❤ We can't wait to meet you, little one. Mommy and Daddy (and Cooper, too) have prayed for you, for so long. You are already so incredibly loved.  ❤ (I'm so sorry if my announcement causes anyone any pain. I know the feeling of going to bed every night feeling hopeless and empty. I know what it is like to see mothers pushing strollers in the store, and your heart yearning for that experience.  Please know that every night I pray for anyone facing the nightmare of infertility,that th
