January Highlights

Hello everyone! January was a good month. I did not accomplish as much as I had hoped, but it was good anyway. =)

I completely cleaned out my room in the first part of the year. I got rid of a lot of stuff, and it was super nice to start the new year with a clean room.

So we were pulling some boxes out of our storage shed a few months ago, and the floor broke through. So we pulled some resources and built a new shed. Some friends came over and helped build it, but I did pitch in a little bit of help with hauling dirt for under it.

So many pretty sunrises.

After saving coins in a box for a long time, I finally cashed it in and got enough to buy a Sprocket (A mini photo printer) with!

I tried water marbling and loved it. =)

I stayed up till one AM with my sister watching the eclipse. I hate staying up past midnight, but it was so worth it to watch the eclipse.

A good part of my month was spent sorting through photos from the past six months and deleting blurry/duplicate/bad ones. It was a lot of work, but so worth it.

Our power went out at our house, so three of my sisters and I played a game of Pandemic by candlelight. (I knew there was a good reason I kept that candlestick holder around)

My babysitting job started up again. I get to hang out with some of my favorite kids. It doesn’t get much better than getting paid to play hide and seek and hug little kids.

I got to meet Gray Marie for lunch. As always, it was delightful.

And to end the month off, a dear friend of our family died. He had been a supporter of our family since we moved in twenty years ago, and it was hard to say goodbye. (I wrote a post about him here)

My favorite book from the month was Live Without You. <3 My least favorite was The Crux Anthology. It just wasn't my thing.
