Lately // According to Instagram

i can't believe that may is here!  i feel like i've been telling myself that may will mean warmth is here for good, and today it definitely delivered.  we were in the mid-70s here in pa, which was pretty great after a few dreary, cold, rainy days.  (but we still are missing leaves on our trees!  what the heck!?)

so anyway, march & april were busy (let's be real, what months aren't?) with work and easter and two trips to boston, so here is what was going on via my instagram feed in the past month and a half!

Life Lately // According to Instagram

last month was kind of one of those whirlwind ones.  you know, the kind that goes by super fast and it's here and gone before you know it?  i organized a huge event that took place at our church and aj came home for a long weekend to help/celebrate valentines day/celebrate our two year anniversary and then i went to boston for a week.  so here are some instagram photos from the past few weeks!

That Time I Didn't Blog for a Month...

Man oh man!  This holiday season was just craziness for me, and unfortunately, that meant that blogging took a back seat to life.

Here's a quick update of what I've been up to….

December was filled with parties…a gift wrapping party with friends, a crafting party with the small group of 7th grade girls that I lead, an ugly sweater party, a work party, and Jen's bachelorette day of shopping and food and laughter.

December was filled with work…prep for our SEVEN Christmas Eve services, creating a white birch forest for our stage, decorating the building and setting up our Christmas Eve "experience".

December was filled with family and friends…a trip to Boston to get AJ, time spent celebrating Christmas and New Years with both of our families, and dinner out for Mom & Dad's 28th wedding anniversary!

January is off to a wonderful start so far, specifically with the marriage of my best friend! (More to come on that!), and we're getting back into a normal routine.  I'm fortunate enough to have AJ home until January 21, so until then, we're enjoying as much time together as possible!
