It’s been a really long time since I participated in What’s Up Wednesday, but today is my 40th birthday and I really felt like blogging!
Forty. Wow.
Forty feels like freedom.
I couldn’t be more excited to welcome this new decade.
WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…
I’m currently trying to eat all my Oklahoma favorites since we are moving to Michigan in April. I think the one thing I will miss the most is Mexican food. I’m just not sure I’m going to find what I’m used to up north. Give me all the chips and cheese!
Oh wait, what I’m really going to miss is Classic 50’s! I’ve been getting my Dr Pepper’s there for almost 20 years. They know me by name.
WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT…
The last 40 years!
And all the memories I’ve made in Oklahoma over the last twenty.
WHAT I’M LOVING…
The contentment I feel as a forty-year-old!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…
Packing. Packing. Packing.
WHAT I’M DREADING…
We will be nomads for a few weeks between closing on our house in Oklahoma and moving into our new home in Michigan. I’m not really looking forward to that. I’m also not looking forward to saying goodbye to friends. *sigh*
WHAT I’M WORKING ON…
Umm…did I mention packing?
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…
Finally getting to Michigan. This move has been a months-long process! I’m excited about this new adventure and I can’t wait to move into our new house! I’m going to have a basement.
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING…
This week I’m watching all my favorite shows since they are finally back on! Happy Birthday to me!
A Million Little Things, This Is Us, Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy!
I’ve read several great books this month. My February book review will be up on Monday!
I loved, loved, loved, this one!
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO…
John is reading the Harry Potter books to me and Jackson.
We finished book one and watched the movie together as a family. We are currently reading book two.
WHAT I”M WEARING…
I’ve been wanting to try Thrive Causmetics so I ordered a few products as a birthday gift to myself. I’m loving the brilliant eye brightener. I’ve never been great at applying makeup, but these products are so simple to use!
WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…
My parents are coming to Oklahoma to help us finish packing and to celebrate my birthday!
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…
I’m trying to have a positive attitude about the fact that I will be sort of homeless for a month. I really like my routine and my space. We will spend a lot of time in Texas with my family and I will make sure I eat plenty of Rosa’s and chicken fried steak before I move north. I know there will be sweet memories made during the time of transition.
