HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY
Hi Friends ~
I hope you had a lovely restful weekend and your Monday is starting out bright and beautiful! ☀️ Thank you so much for all of your well wishes after my last post!
I'm finally feeling better. More energy and feel more like myself. Still a little congestion, but I can pretty much taste and smell again too! So that is a wonderful feeling. 😊 I worked on projects around here this weekend when I had energy. I went through my closet and drawers and have 3 bags of clothes to donate! Planning on tackling the pantry cabinets this week and reorganizing in there a bit.
I also spent time outside with Ruby. It feels so good to get fresh air. We played in the snow and I did more shoveling of the deck and her go potty spot in the yard.
And of course lots of Matt chat time. He's planning to come up this weekend and hang out here. And we've already been making Valentines weekend plans for the next weekend. Going to watch the Super Bowl together (crazy that the Bengals made it!) and he's taking Valentine's Day off of work so we can spend that day too. He wants to cook for me again. 😍 ♥️
I can't believe January is almost over. And February is nice and short! So that means Spring is practically around the corner, right? Lol
I know I need to work to embrace the winter that is left....but my heart is already dreaming on Spring and digging in the dirt and planting flowers - even thought it's MONTHS AWAY yet. sigh
But counting current blessings and I'm SO ready to join the land of the living this week. It will be day 10 tomorrow and I'm grateful to be free of this virus and back to the real world!

Have I mentioned how crazy I am about this tall, handsome, sweet, kind, fun goofball? I promise I'll stop gushing one of these days. Lol 😉
In other news... my Dad and step Mom got a new puppy! His name is Buddy and he's a bichon maltese. Isn't he adorable?? Annie and I are planning to visit AZ on Spring break and get to meet him in person 😍
PRAYER LIST:
Prayers for gratitude and thankfulness for so many blessings. I pray for an end to the virus. For peace and unity everywhere. For health care workers, first responders and all those who work so hard to take care of others. I pray for anyone isolated, feeling alone, in pain or fear - that God comfort them and bring them healing and peace. For Matt's Uncle as he continues to heal. For his Mom that needs an upcoming surgery. For a bestie's recent loss of her brother in law to covid. 😢 🙏
