Wandering Wednesday #3

Soooo…I’ve been away a while.

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been wandering around doing adult things like…

• Learning just how selfish I can be
• Enduring more adult conversations (do they ever get any easier?)
• Learning patience
• Recovering from a nasty bout of bronchitis & sinusitis
• Being humbled by my lack of gratitude at times
• Replacing an A/C unit,
• Dealing with some puppy pranks early demolition on a home improvement project.

There have been grand adventures too.  Adventures like…

Celebrating the birth of this handsome man. I’m so glad he was born!

Taking a little vacation time in February.  Can you say, spa day?
That vacation also included hanging out with friends and family I hadn’t seen in far too long and a little trail run wog (that’s where you walk more than you jog) on a beautiful Saturday at Monte Santo State Park.  Beauty abounded.

Saying Goodbye to the Bravermans.

Does anyone else out there watch Parenthood? Did you bawl like a baby when it ended?  I know I sure did.

Training (and successfully completing) a 10K that has been on my race bucket list for a while.

Taking in this view on a wonderfully, relaxing trip to the mountains…except…ya know…when Robyn’s car wouldn’t start.

Buying a cocktail dress for $1.53 to attend a fabulous event with an even more fabulous fella.  Such fun!

Squeezing what could in all probability be the cutest baby in the entire world.

I know.  She looks terrified and confused.  But isn’t she the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?

Celebrating Holy Week in grand style!  I don’t care what the song says, Christmas in not the most wonderful time of the year.  Easter is.  This year we added a Saturday night Easter Vigil in this stunning church…

With the tremendous help of some awesome people, we also pulled off an Easter Brunch.  I took a chance and let my work, family, and church worlds collide.  It was so wonderful to see some of my favorite faces on my favorite day of the year.  It’s definitely likely to become tradition even if my feet haven’t full recovered.

Participating in Birmingham Reads with these awesome co-workers.

I have some upcoming adventures too, but you’ll have to wait on those.

Now you know what I’ve been up to.  What’s going on in your world?
