Happy Birthday, Thomas!

  Hello! Today is my husband's birthday! Happy Birthday Thomas! We will celebrate with a nice meal this weekend and maybe even some beach days since we're both off! 



I am going to dedicate this post to 3 of my favorite things about my sweet Thomas.

His Heart

One thing about Thomas is that he is very logical. I know it is odd to write about that under his heart, but you'll see what I mean. He relies heavily on facts and absolutes. He rarely, and I mean very rarely, reacts to something based on feelings. And if he needs to, he will research something to kind of validate his initial feeling-reaction, unlike me who will just say something is dumb and move on with my life. He will tell you why it is dumb, how it is dumb, how long it has been dumb, and possibly even what percentage of people agree it is dumb. With all of this in mind, you must know that he is not a complete machine. He has a huge heart. It is pure and I love it so much. I know that he loves me. He loves his family, his friends, his work. He logically loves. He knows why he loves something, how he loves something, how long he has loved something and maybe even some other stats on it as well. He is very thoughtful. He's intentional. 

His Humor

Thomas is the funny guy in most groups. He loves to make people laugh. One thing I will never get tired of is when he does something so unexpectedly goofy, whether it's at home just us or out in public. He kills me. He makes funny faces for me, does little bits that crack me up, or he'll tell me funny stories about something he remembered from when he was little or something that happened at work. I love to laugh and I love laughing at/with him. 

His Level-Headedness 

Thomas is logical, as you know, which means he doesn't rely so heavily on emotions. When he's overwhelmed, he'll revert to the facts in front of him. When I'm overwhelmed, I am immediately freaking out about the unknown future that is inevitably ruined. He has talked me down from many downward spirals. I don't know where I'd be without him. In high school, he would always help me keep things into perspective. When other girls were trying to "make a point" about something they believed was so important by being kind of mean to me, Thomas was always reminding me that this is just high school, we're all just kids, it will be over soon, don't worry about it too much. It kind of bugged me, the "don't worry about it too much" part. IF I COULD STOP WORRYING I WOULD!!! But I understand where he was coming from. It's not mean girls now, but it's work stuff. Being overwhelmed with bills and deadlines. He definitely brings me back down to planet earth when I am frazzled about *insert dramatic scenario*.


I am blessed to be married to someone as wonderful as Thomas. 



I hope you all have a great rest of the day! I will see you tomorrow for Thankful Thursday!

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...

Spring Has Me Writing Again 🌼💛

  It has been a while, but I am back! It is so nice to be typing here again. After a busy fall, a holiday season that didn't slow down for a minute, and the harshest winter I've ever lived through, I finally feel like I can breathe, and write, again. I will do a quick recap of my life and then explain my plans for the future of this blog.  So, since my last post was in October, life has been full. Here's a little peek at what's been happening behind the scenes: 1. My cousin's wedding was a success! It was beautiful and now they are actually pregnant!!! I can't wait to meet their baby girl.  2. Thomas and I were fortunate to be a part of our friends' engagement that took place in Boston in December! It was so much fun celebrating the two of them and surprising the bride to be! Now I am excited to help her plan their wedding for next year! 3. I'm changing my career from retail pharmacy to hospital inpatient pharmacy! I start in exactly 3 weeks from today. ...
