  • hunt brothers pizza (again)
  • time in the car to listen to podcasts (6 hours!!!)
  • having a friend call to share that she had confetti cake for breakfast (i'm so proud!) 
  • how much these 3 enjoyed looking at their artwork on artsonia


  • when eli wants to talk to us about stuff
  • pouring rain + avett brothers 
  • when a friend does something incredibly difficult but oh so brave and oh so right

  • fresh flowers (and how long they've lasted...more cool points for aldi)
  • one unsatisfied guest isn't the end of the world (my worth and identity have nothing to do with the opinions of people!)
  • praying with LJ
  • emma brought fresh out of the oven cookies to me on the porch (nicely presented to boot!)
