Day 3,422

Thankful for: 

A fun Monday. 

The last pool swim Monday of the summer. 

We had pizza and ice cream sundaes. 

Training with Artemis. 

An easy dinner. 

Tobin had football camp. One of his coaches told Matt that he could have done high school track last year because of how fast he was. He said if he runs track this year, he'll be on the high school team. I love hearing great things about my kids. 

I made a bunch of egg bites for easy breakfasts for Matt and me. 

Ice cream on the couch with a fun show. 

Two weeks left to do a lot of work. It's a lot, but I can do it. 

Matt holds my hand a lot while we drive. His hands always finds mine. 

Family Sunday.

Thankful for: 

A nice morning. Matt and I took Artemis on a long walk with two other dog friends. She got distracted sometimes and wanted to play, but she did well. 

Coming home and relaxing with Matt a bit. 

A hot shower. 

Matt and I went shopping together. It's always fun to go shopping with Matt. It reminds me of when we were first married and went shopping every single night for what we were going to make for dinner.

Steph and Mario came over for dinner. We made homemade personal pan pizzas. They were delicious. 

I made frozen sangria. It was so good. 

We played board games. 

We sat around and talked and laughed for a while. It was good to laugh hard. 

A cozy day working from home.
