Three Things

-
I saw this on Briane's blog and loved the post so I decided to give it a shot as well. Here are my three things:

 Three movies I've watched more than 20 times 
1. The Holiday 
2. Mary Poppins
3. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Three things I don’t do
1. Run/ hike/ yoga
2. Wear makeup often 
3. Baby my books- I dog-ear, highlight/ write in the margins, AND crack the spine (shocker)

 Three things I'm always up for doing
1. Pedicure 
2. Shop for home decor 
3. Go out for lunch/ dinner 

Three good things that happened this month
I will be honest, I'm not in good headspace this month. Things have been really difficult lately but here are some good things that did happen:
1. Vacation
2. Spent lots of time with my hubby
3. Got our new rugs in!

Three things I'm tired of
1. Summer. I'm ready for fall. 
2. Infertility. It freaking SUCKS and the heartbreak you feel on the daily is unbelievable. 
3. Ignorant people (re: the ones who can't have a productive conversation, argue with you and think you're wrong even though we are all entitled to our own personal beliefs and morals. UGH.)

Three things I'll never tire of
1. My dog, Cooper
2. Book browsing
3. Pasta (specifically: mac & cheese)

Three things I like to photograph
1. My dog (as evidenced by my Instagram account)





2. Landscapes


3. Daily life/ activities
Doing stuff around the house

Recipes/ meals I cook

Snuggles with the pup

Books I read 

Three things I can't resist 
1. Listening to country music in the car. I haven't switched my radio station in over a year and a half (unless my husband does- then I just switch it back to Cat Country)
2. Whenever we are in the car together, I always hold my husband's hand. The car ride feels weird if I don't. 
3. Domestic thriller novels and police procedurals. Makes sense since I love crime shows on TV.

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
