life right now [july]

Jul 23, 2025


currently…

settling into our new house. Everything is unpacked but we won’t be fully settled until we complete a few minor projects.

swimming basically everyday at our community pool. The kids are loving these reusable water balloons in the pool.

working on lots of house projects. Our contractor is moving quickly so my office space is almost done. I should be able to move into it this weekend!

loving the kids finished Ireland photo books. I ordered them from Chatbooks and they turned out so great!

buying tickets to see the Backstreet Boys in Las Vegas! After seeing the opening weekend footage I decided I can’t miss it.

reading Worst Case Scenario on my kindle.

listening to Dreams from my Father on audiobook. It’s narrated by Barack himself.

prepping to pick up our new puppy in less than a month!

deciding on a name for the new pup. We are going to stay with the cheese theme (Colby Jack was our last dog) and the favorites are currently Mozzarella (Ella), Havarti (Havi) or Gouda.

studying Puppy Brain to figure out what those first weeks will look like. It’s been 16 years since I trained a dog and a lot has changed!
