Life Lately

Life lately…

It’s been a whirlwind lately, but it’s been wonderful. I’m recapping with photos that go back a week or two. April has been such a good month so far.

The days that I find the time to get my hands dirty are really good days. I have been making it a daily goal to do just one thing that triggers my creativity – it hasn’t happened everyday, but when it does I go to bed feeling more relaxed and fulfilled.

I completed one of my April goals! I know I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again, but I love calligraphy. And it helps me with my daily creativity goal!

In preparation for the storms last Wednesday (which ended not being a big deal) Mike was released early from work. He went home and got our “storm shelter” ready. He popped popcorn, bought pistachios, rented a few movies, grabbed my favorite sweatpants, sweatshirts, and blankets, brought down extra water bottles and set up some board games with candles just in case we lost power again.

We were ready. And then nothing really happened, but we still spent the evening in the basement with three on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn. It was the best storm night ever.

Last weekend my little sister was in town for Easter – we threw it back with October Sky and quality sister time. Anybody else love this movie? It probably goes down in my top 10. I was so nostalgic watching it that I practically cried the whole time. So good.

Also last weekend, Mike and I played some tennis at the nearby high school. It was seriously so much fun. The Mr. is a very good tennis player and I am very much still learning, but I love being active with him. He’s also a great teacher.

It wouldn’t be a life lately without a mention of this guy. The other day I was searching for him high and low because I had to go to work. I am yelling for him to kennel (trying to wake him up from probably hiding under the bed) and he isn’t coming. He wasn’t in the backyard that I could see and I looked under all the furniture he likes to hide under… He was in his kennel all along. When I finally realized he was already there – he posed for this photo. Good times, Alf.

And that’s it for life lately. Life is good and full.

Happy day!

Spring Weather is Here

Well, Spring weather has definitely arrived. You can’t get on social media today in Wichita without seeing the dangerous threat of weather coming our way.

It’s supposed to start between 2-4pm but the worst of it will be around 6pm. This is what they say.

I say that weather is unpredictable and last week when 100mph winds came through, took our power, and left golf ball sized hail behind, the chance of storms during that time was 0%.

So… Say a prayer for Kansas and Oklahoma today. Unpredictable weather is coming our way!IMG_6317

Mike and I are doing great! I am still holding off on the laundry room post because I want to finish one last thing and we haven’t had the time. I promise that someday you will see it and someday you will love it! I got to use it last weekend for the first time (for it’s purpose: laundry) and it was GLORIOUS!

Life update coming later this week.

Happy Day!

Power Outage

I was hoping to share our laundry room updates today, but instead I am taking a pause as we wait for our power to come back on.

Wichita was hit by a hail and windstorm late last night. We lost power with a bunch of other Wichitans. My littlest sister is out of school because the school buildings lost power. It could be a few days before it they get things working again – so no laundry room update today! Hopefully next week!

Happy day!

Update: We had our power turned back on Friday evening! It was expected to be back on Monday morning so we are feeling lucky – no ruined food and we got to stay in our own bed!
