she. he. me.

she. 

• turned 22 on Thursday.
• flew to Thunder Bay yesterday to start a 2 month tree-planting job.
• has amazed me with her courage & sense of adventure as she's prepped for this job.
• sounds so grown-up when she pulls out her wallet & says "I've got breakfast, Mom." 
• makes me laugh…especially when she's stealing my denim jacket. 
• texted me a picture of her plane ticket, with the note "thought you might want this for your Project Life thingy." 
• is still NOT a morning person (which makes me really curious how early am tree planting is going to play out). 

he. 

• participated in his high school's mock crash to help demonstrate the potential outcomes of drunk driving. 
• was deeply impacted with the gravity of said "crash," and the emotion of the experience.
• is learning to make pizza at his job (he normally delivers the pizzas).
• brings home the most amazing sculptures from art class.
• makes the best rice, veggie, and egg scrambles. 
• was chosen as a Student of the Month for May. 
• is nearly done with his junior year, and is making lists of design schools to visit this summer.

me. 

• processing recent changes at work while holding tight to kindness & grace.
• had the overwhelming, inexplicable need to watch Less Than Zero this week (thank you, Netflix, for helping me out). 
• cried when saying goodbye to Hope at the airport – tears of pride, not sadness.
• packing for my trip to NOLA.
• finished and loved Paradise in Plain Sight. 
• checked out Stories I Only Tell My Friends for vacation reading.
• have googled the following this week – painting concrete floors, staining decks, toilet paper holders, average showings before offer, and how to remove adhesive residue. Sigh.
