Happy Saturday, friends! I'm so glad you're here today! We're talking about some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of this month. I'll jump right in!
I loved so many things this month!
I loved playing detective one night with a friend who shall remain nameless...
I loved listening to Meghan Trainor's music this month since I had to give up country music for a stint.
I loved celebrating my Drewby turning 25! I loved that he spent the night on the second and that I woke up to him at home on his actual birthday; I loved that I was able to make him breakfast and send him off to work with food for the rest of his weekend. Being a mom to adults is my favorite thing in life at the moment!
I learned a lot this month.
I learned that you can't take people's word for who they say they are, and I learned how to change my own windshield wiper blades thanks to a new friend at Auto Zone. You should see how much of a difference they made on my car! I love being able to learn new things; what a privilege this is in life. I will never again take it for granted.
Some things went well for me this month!
This was my excited face before I left on Saturday morning. I feel like I walk around with a goofy grin on my face 24/7. Marilyn will attest to this, since she's seen me through this new phase!
Singing in the choir during Easter weekend went well for me this month!
I let go of some more things this month.
I'm about to let go of this shirt, because it's bringing back all kinds of bad memories. I hate it when that happens! It's not a bad thing, though, since it's way too big for me these days.
I'm so glad you're here today to link up with me for this fun post! I can't wait to catch up with you when I get home next week. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, friends. Love to all!
Jenn 🖤🖤
Ohh! Playing detective sounds interesting and I do love a bit of Meghan Trainor!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you are learning new things and good luck with the dating app! It is good to meet new people, I am glad you are being careful though.
I have switched to iced coffee now and I am loving it. Especially when it is warm out.
It was a fun night, and one that was very interesting. Thank you, friend!
DeleteI drink iced coffee in the afternoon in the summer months and love it too. I still have hot in the morning, but I make a small pot of decaf and keep it in the frig. My daughter loves it too so we've been enjoying that together in the afternoons. New people and experiences sounds exciting and going into it with a sense of caution is wise. I'm sure you're having a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love it even more in the summer! I do the same and keep a pitcher in the fridge at all times. Thank you, friend!
DeleteI love that Drew was home and spent his birthday with you! I agree that being a mom of adult kids can be so amazing - I love it! Wishing you all the best with the dating app and making new friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was the best night, and one I won't soon forget. I greatly appreciate your encouragement!
DeleteDating apps are interesting, my brother met his now ex-wife using that and she turned out to be alcoholic with bad temper/anger issues. There is also young men from Morocco, Nigeria using apps and fake info to get green cards, money out of western women. The British Daily Mail always publishes these stories, too bad technology and internet is a double edge sword.
ReplyDeleteI've heard horror stories, trust me. Just like with everything else in life, there are pros and cons to everything: dating apps, social media, blogs, and the comment section that we use to display our words to each other. It's why I'm taking extra precautions that I can't talk about here.
DeleteI celebrated my son's birthday this month as well! SO glad so many things went well for you this month and you have a lot to celebrate. I actually tried cold coffee (again) this week and thought it was nasty. I may have put too much ice in it, or it might be that I still don't like it, LOL! I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh! It really is an acquired taste; I put creamer into mine to sweeten it up, which make sit delicious! Happy belated birthday to your son! I hope you have a great week, friend.
DeleteThanks Jennifer.
DeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteHappy Birthday to Drew! I hope he had a great day! Will be interested to follow along on your new adventures :). Your excited face is so pretty... and I love the picture of you and Marilyn!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think he had a good day; he worked, so you know how that goes. Adulting and all, right? You are so sweet; thank you for that, friend. I am so glad I can now put a face and voice (and amazing laugh) with your name!
DeleteYou look (and sound) so happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I truly am; I've never been happier or more at peace. I feel like I'm living my very best life right now!
DeleteI am going to have to join in - this is fun
ReplyDelete& GURRRRRLLL - YES to iced coffee - drinking one right now.
& playing detective LOL - That gave me a giggle. That's always fun to do with / for a friend!
Hi, friend! I'm glad you're joining in with us! I love this link and think it's fun as well. Yes to iced coffee! I'm about to go make me one now, it sounds so good. I've become the best detective because my friend has taught me so much!
DeleteAhhhh! How fun with the dating app- can't wait to follow along-have fun- be safe and enjoy it all- love the excitement of new relationships! So glad you have a smile on your face because YOU DESERVE IT! XO
ReplyDeleteThank you for being my cheerleader! I know I can always count on you for that, and it means the world to me. I agree~ the excitement is out of this world and it's fun. I'm living my best life! xoxo
DeleteI love this post for lots of reasons. YOu seem so genuinely happy. YOu deserve that. And good for you for letting go of thinking aobut what others are doing. It's a skill but so healthy. And I love you are giving the apps a go - my sister doesn't like the apps but does like going to the speed dating nights. She finds the meeting the people up front easier, and you get a night out to boot, so even if there's no one, it's not a waste. There are ones for friends too -ie to meet friends. Lastly, detective. I want more deets on that! Sounds like a kooky escapade!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite bit was "I love being a parent to adults". It really is a joy, tho we often focus on missing them when they're little.
DeleteThank you so much for this, friend! I greatly appreciate your kind words and the encouragement. I always need that! I have having success with this particular app for now; I may try the speed dating night, though, if I can find one in my area. I'd definitely have to have a friend go with me, though. The night playing detective was the best! I can't really talk about it here, though...feel free to email me for deets, though! Allboys@gamil.com.
DeleteAnd amen to parenting adults!
DeleteI once had a great pair of windshield wipers that, for whatever reason, were amazing! ha. Good for you in becoming more independent on take care of your car. I'm still slacking there. Congrats on joining a dating app and making new friends. That's wonderful! I hope you enjoy this exciting new phase of growth and fun in your life again.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh! Thank you for the kind words, friend. I greatly appreciate them!
DeleteI love parenting adults so much! I mean I've loved all stages but thought I was going to hate the teen years since everyone talks about them like they are the worst, but I loved it. Then I thought I'd hate it when they were "all grown up" and official adults that didn't need me anymore but I love that too. It was kind of a relief! They all made it. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess technically Evan's not quite there just yet-- just a few more months though.
DeleteYes! I wholeheartedly agree. It's like we made it, as well!
DeleteAnd you're right, he's definitely close enough. Great job, friend! 🤣
