Monday Musings // I'm Back!

Hello and happy February, friends!! I can't believe it's been almost three weeks since I last posted on this blog. I've definitely missed it, although the break was good for me and gave me extra time to focus on some other, more pressing things going on in my life . . . like judging stories for the Circle C writing contest and taking the PSAT. (the former was fun; the latter, not so much. the test required tons of studying beforehand and absolutely no listening to music *gasp*, then spending four hours in a classroom with a bunch of strange kids and a mask on. I felt physically and emotionally drained for a while afterwards. however, on a positive note, it also meant watching a Sue Thomas episode on a weekday and having one-on-one time with Dad, so that was special. plus, I had great friends praying for me. 💜)Yesterday (Sunday) was Ruby's first birthday, and my family woke up to snow falling outside. We had several inches by evening. Mom made snow cream (a rare treat consisting of three simple ingredients: snow, milk, and sugar) just for the occasion. 😄Now, time for the slew of photos you all have been waiting for. 😁

Here I am right outside the school where I took my PSAT, masked up and feeling (somewhat) ready to begin. Selfie w/ my lil' sis. 😍😍😍
Eating Cheez-its and doing math together. A walk in the snow. 😃   So pretty!! 🤩
