Going On Around Here

What is this dark, blurry picture I have posted today? Well, that would be the picture of a thrilled teenage girl! Last November, yes, November, Flynn received some tickets to see one of her favorite bands in concert. While Steve or I, to a lesser extent, are usually on board to accompany her on these excursions, we opted to sit this one out. I did because I had never heard of My Chemical Romance. Steve, because he had. Lucky for us, Peyton's husband Christopher is a fan! And so a plan was hatched.

Last weekend, Steve and FLynn drove to Philly to meet Peyton and Christopher. Christopher took Flynn to the concert, and Steve took his secondborn to dinner. The result was a great time had by all. The next morning, they all went to breakfast and shopping before going their separate ways. Shoutout to Peyton and Chris for making Flynn's entire summer with that weekend! And to Madison and Nicolas for watching her pup overnight!

What was I doing while all this fun was being had? Well, it involves DoorDash, binge-watching true crime, and this.

Add Madison and Nicolas bringing me breakfast and coffee, and I was happy as can be.

And, in other news...

Yep. Those would be boxes. And yes. We are moving. This move is actually an easy one. Steve found a house very near here that has a pool, and because he knows I enjoy swimming, and because it also has access to a great place to walk the dogs, we decided to move. I am excited to decorate the new house for fall, as well as set up the little office for our homeschool. We have been busy packing and organizing, but since I purged extensively last time we moved, I have very little to pack. Yesterday we got a lot done while it was raining, and Madison had us in for dinner, so we wouldn't have to cook or eat takeout again. She made homemade chicken soup, and it was absolutely delicious.

So, there's that! I will be absent here until next week, so have a wonderful weekend, my friends. Thank you for visiting!
