May Journal Entry

Outside my window:

200+ ft of new concrete curbing, 2 new trees, several new bushes, a couple of new sprinklers. We have been hard at work here at House of Elfering.

I am thinking:

That I can't believe I was able to keep my trap shut once again about some BIG news. NO...not pregnant :) Yours truly was just named head Varsity girl's soccer coach at Richland High! I applied several weeks ago, then finally went through the interview process last week and found out a few days after that but wasn't able to officially spill the beans until late last week. I am thrilled to see what this new and exciting opportunity will bring our way (besides being super busy of course).

I am thankful for:

a husband who believes in me. supports me. builds me up. is proud of me.

From the kitchen:

Just opened a new can of formula and it got me thinking...only a couple more cans before Drayson is off the expensive stuff. Can you believe it?...he will be a year in just 5 short weeks.

I am wearing:

a sunburn on my back from the several hours we spent in the sun landscaping this weekend. Chip is sporting the matching burn.

I am going:

to be watching the new season of the Bachelorette staring Jillian that kicks off tomorrow night. You might remember THIS post about our unfailing love of the spunky gal from Canada, eh?!

I am hoping:

that my boy Kris Allen pulls out the upset win over Adam on Idol this week! Geez, by reading these last two prompts you'd think I was a reality TV junkie or something...oh wait, I might be :) Real Housewives, anyone?

I am hearing:

Chip watching a DVR'd episode of the Mentalist. and the humm of the air conditioner.

Around the house:

Lookin' pretty tidy here, friends.

I am creating:

I just did this super cute and super easy frame/message board as a wedding shower gift. They have the coolest stuff at Craft Warehouse right now. This literally took 10 minutes and a hot glue gun. Done.

One of my favorite things:

Scarves. They are my new favorite accessory. And inspired by the before mentioned Jillian. I know they are probably "so last season" but just like the whole popular music scene...it takes awhile for it to reach the Tri.

A picture thought I am sharing:

Yes, he blows a whistle, folks. I'm pretty sure this skill is not on any of those "by 12 months old your child should be doing...." lists. I can't imagine he could have picked this up from his big brother!

Plans for the upcoming month:

*finish getting the yard in shape. *preschool graduation. *end of school for Daddy
