What I'm Into- April 2015

Where did April go?! This Month FLEW!

Meeker Life

We have put all yard projects aside because 1. we can't agree on what to do and 2. anything we can agree on to do is too expensive.. and we have this great idea to pay off our student loans by Dec 2017 so that kind of derails all extras.. it will be worth it.. Meeker and I instead focused our energies on cleaning out the garage, guest bedroom, and deep cleaning the downstairs.. (and by deep cleaning i mean we vacuumed more than 1x per month).

Final Four- we had an impromptu grill out party which was super fun! 

Easter- We had an impromptu brunch with our friends the Kroncrites which was super fun - we did a mini Easter egg hunt for their little 4 year old so that was super cute as well.. and I ate a pound of M&Ms.. we accidentally didn't go to church whoops! We overslept..better planning next year!

CEUs- I went to a super interesting training on "Embracing Mental Health in your Faith Community" and it was super inspiring. I will probably go every year..  loved it!

Friends!- we had Sharon and Logan and their 2 baby girls Miriam and Eve stay with us for the weekend! They made parenting look easy! So fun to meet your friend's children!

Wedding Showers! - a few friends and I put together a co-ed wedding shower for our friend Allison who is getting married in June! My first time organizing a shower.. wow- lots of work but super fun. We had planned an outdoor themed thing (yard games) etc but it rained the whole day... but it turns out if you have music, good food, and alcohol people still have fun w out corn-hole.

Meeker Went to Phoenix for a few days for work while I stayed home and took care of our sick Maggie-Dog... she's on the mend !

My Gig at NC State is up for the summer! it will be nice to have my evenings back but I will miss the students I worked with!

Um wow.. what a busy month!!


What I’m Reading:
Nothing.. lol. same old bloggies.. I have a list of books I would like to read at some point.. summer goals!

What I’m Watching: 

So we miraculously had a free weekend of HBO (we didn't even know, I turned on an HBO movie channel to be funny and it WORKED! so glad I happened to try an HBO channel the same weekend we had a free trial otherwise I would have missed out!)

Girls- I am all caught up.. um.. I don't know why, but I just have to watch this.. its pretty terrible.. but somehow it seems less vulgar to me than Game of Thrones (I just can't get into GofT... i had to wiki every episode to keep up with everything after i watched it.. too much work!)

I also finally watched The Fault in Our Stars and Divergent who coincidentally both star the lovely Shailene Woodley and both movies were AWESOME! I think I want to read the Divergent series, but I am going to watch the movies first.. i feel like if you read it first the movies just disappoint you.


I started Bloodline and I got to episode 8 before I just googled the ending.. the episodes are SOOOO SLOW and LONG!!!!! like.. too much ppl.. and I just could not be asked to give 5 more hours to this show.. I feel like I really tried though.. and I did LOVE the story.. but meh..

Just started SCANDAL! finally.. um.. love..

Also - in TV news.. I think we are going Sling TV in a few months... cutting the cord! (we have been talking about this since Feb.. so who knows).

What I’m Listening to: 

I  listened to a lot of old Tim Keller Sermons and Dave Ramsey of course.. I really liked 99% Invisible's episode about Calendars.. so interesting.  and I am of course loving Undisclosed (serial spin-off made by Rabia..) however, there has been a lot of mumurings on Serial's Reddit that its not very legit.. who knows! Still love it.


and that was my APRIL! looking forward to MAY!
