Virtual Coffee.

So, if you were to come over for coffee, or if we were meeting at Starbucks or Caribou.........

I would share with you that life has felt crazy lately and I don't really know why. Our schedules have actually slowed down a bit. We aren't running around nearly as much. But yet, life feels like it's moving at lightning speed.

I would tell you that I am so ready to graduate from college. Only 17 1/2 weeks to go, but yet it feels like a lifetime away! It'll feel good to be done. I just need to get through the next 17 1/2 weeks.

I would tell you that I am mixing things up and actually decorating for Valentine's Day. Addison is loving it. I have to admit, the house feels very "lovey-dovey!" 

I would tell you that I am on week three of my New Years resolution of finally losing the baby weight. The first week didn't go so well, but last week I lost three pounds. Not sure yet how this week will turn out. Too early to tell. But I am determined to stick with it this year. I'm tired of the jiggle.

I would tell you that our nightly family routine the past couple weeks has been eating popcorn made on the stove while watching The Cosby Show on Netflix then after the kids go to bed Marty and I stream Wings-- gotta love Netflix! I even discovered that one of my favorite childhood shows is on Netflix-- Emergency! I can hardly wait to subject introduce the kids to it!

I would tell you I got a little crafty and accomplished a goal and made some Valentine's garland. Super simple project, but looks darn cute if I do say so myself!

I would also tell you that Addison and I have been enjoying lots of "friend" time lately. Last week we even went to the Children's Museum. Good times. Good times. Totally love that she has friends. And that my friends and I all had girls at the same time. 

I would also tell you that Addison has been so into the library lately. And board games. So the past few weeks we have spent what feels like countless hours reading library books and playing board games every. single. day. It's fun to see her so interested in these things right now.  A few months ago she wasn't.

And it's so fun to rediscover all the books Meghan and Noah loved as a preschooler-- it's bringing back great memories for all of us. And providing some great family conversations. Love that.

And finally, I would also be sure to tell you thanks for stopping by or for meeting me, because to me there is nothing better than meeting a friend for coffee!
