Friday Favorites {April 21}

TGIF!  I hope you're ready for a beautiful spring weekend where you are.  Texas has been showing off with incredible weather lately, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.  Here's a look at some favorites this week.

ONE

Did you hear our big news earlier this week?  We've got a contract to buy a one-story house in our area and today our house goes on the market.  It's really still hard to believe...things are moving fast!

Hopefully we will have lots of showings in our hot real estate market.  That means I'll be taking this little guy out to the park for walks and lounging around every time someone comes over!  Luckily the weather has been nice!

Until we move at the beginning of June, I am just soaking up every minute I can in our back yard.  I've even gotten in the pool once already!  I will miss this incredible outdoor space!

And I'll miss the roses too.  But don't worry, I'll be working on our landscaping and flower beds in the new house as soon as I can!

We had a quiet Easter this year.  We actually spent Friday and Saturday of that weekend looking at the new house for the first time.  We went to church on Saturday afternoon and took a picture with their selfie station.  It was actually a little chilly so I had to wear a cardigan with my dress.

On Sunday, we went out to brunch...it was delicious!  We sure missed the kids this year...our first Easter with no one at home.  Jack drove up to Atlanta where he and Grace went to church.  He had a busy afternoon back in Auburn, so he literally just drove up and back on Sunday morning.  I thought that was so sweet that he made the effort!

Speaking of Easter, these sweet little babies popped up in my Timehop.  It seems like yesterday!

THREE

Last weekend we tried a new pizza place in our area - Fat Boys Pizza.  The restaurant had such a fun vibe and huge slices of delicious pizza

Do you remember when French manicures were so popular? I was thinking about that this week, and decided to do my own.  I used to do this all the time - painting on the white tips and then covering with a sheer pink.  I just used shades I already had, so the white is not a pure white.  But it was fun trying this old method again.  

FIVE

LISTENING TO - the Midlife Matters podcast episode about Thriving in the Empty Nest.  They talked about all the changes that happen during this phase and how to make the best of it.  Really helpful information.

SIX

READING - What Lies in the Woods - a twisty, dark suspense novel.  Kept me turning the pages.

SEVEN

I have gotten hooked on Wordle...do you play?  We have a family group text where we post our daily score.  I've also started doing the New York Times Mini puzzle.  Grace and I have a little competition going for that game.  I'm trying to keep my brain young!

EIGHT

Happy 22nd Anniversary!  Wow, a lot has happened in 22 years.  I'm so grateful for the years of joy we've had.  I didn't meet Michael until I was 31, and he was definitely worth the wait!
