I have a friend who does a Tuesday Ten, and today it’s just the thing to do. Seems like a good day to get a jumble of things all in one place. 1. I am so ...

This morning, mid-workout, I walked out and said, This morning, mid-workout, I walked out and said, “Do you know we’ll be married 15 years this year?” 

Y’all. The fives and tens get me. How am I old enough to have been married that long? 

Sometimes I think back to the 16 year-old girl who knew she would marry this guy. She had no idea what she was signing up for—she couldn’t have dreamt how great he would be as a husband, a father, a leader, a friend, a confidant. 

So, while we’re a few months off, I’m still here. In awe of my calculation. Wondering how it could have flown by and been a lifetime all at once—but, you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun!
Turns out, I like it a lot better when we travel t Turns out, I like it a lot better when we travel to the snow and not vice versa. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

Couple of thoughts: 
• offer heaps of grace and patience in the return to regularly scheduled programming
• choose to believe people are doing the best they can with what they have
• offer what you’re able
• check in on those around you

This week’s experience was different for every single person I have spoken to, even those very close in proximity.

Teacher friends, jumping to you for a second here, remember that each of your kiddos will have experienced this week differently, too, when they get back to you Monday (or whenever they are able). Some will have spent the time cuddled up, playing games, enjoying the snow with hot cocoa. Others will have been freezing, alone, and scared. Meet them where they are. Academic needs may not be the forefront upon return, and that’s okay. A hug and a smile goes a long way.
Thank you, @wurstfest! 🎤 Our beloved pitchers Thank you, @wurstfest! 🎤 

Our beloved pitchers come in clutch—AGAIN. Man, what can’t these things do? 

The good news: the cattle and animals have water. 

The bad news: our house does not.
Snow much fun! ❄️ I spent yesterday afternoon Snow much fun! ❄️

I spent yesterday afternoon bummed the go-kart wouldn’t start in the weather. Didn’t even think to bring my ol’ girl out. She got the job done! 

PS: the pasture’s too muddy. Don’t bother. 😂😂

PPS: I always wave as people pass. I almost never see them wave back. The whole “neighborhood” was honking and waving today.
