Another month in the books. When I look back at my calendar to see what happened this month, I swear this month felt like it was extra long, but in the very best way. So many things have happened this month and it’s hard to believe it was only 30 days long!

Here are some words that were prominent during my month:
Warm/// Weather reached 90 degrees a few days and there were a handful of days that were more spring like than winter like. It was a nice break from the cold and rainy March we had. I think everyone got really really excited when the weather reached summer like temperatures. I got my spring clothes out and I am so excited to transition into bright colors and summery prints.
Sparkly/// Keith and I went to the jewelry store in the very beginning of the month to purchase a Claddagh ring for me. He wanted to wear his so he thought it was a great idea to get me one. ( you can see the photo of our matching rings in Tuesday’s posts.) This was really special and while my hand shook like a leaf the whole time we were in there, we had a really nice experience. Every time I look down at my right hand, it makes me smile.
Emotional/// I had a multitude of emotions filter through me this month. At some points of the month, I had a rough time trying to organize these emotions and sometimes they came out of me as word vomit (I don’t know how else to explain it.) Some emotions were good, some were bad, some I didn’t understand
In-Between/// In my post yesterday, I talked about being in-between and this in-between feeling is new for me and its exciting and scary and its labeled in my brain as a big unknown. I can’t wait to see what the next season of my life leads me.
Lesson///My phone taught me a really interesting lesson this month- always double check the link you are posting. I link my blog to Andrea and Erika’s blog on Friday’s for Friday’s Favorites. Somehow my phone has saved this one Friday Favorites link from March 24 and while I normally don’t check on the link after I post it (terrible habit I know!) I started to realize something was amiss when my current Friday Favorites posts weren’t getting the usual traffic but a random March 24th post was getting SO MUCH attention. After a little investigation, I realized that I wasn’t posting my most recent post, I was posting March 24th’s post week after week. Well, lesson learned, double check your links BEFORE you post it on a link up.

Emoji of the Month:
😍
This was very accurate. I am pretty sure I made this face multiple times this month: when we were picking out my Claddagh ring; at my Easter Egg Hunt and when I saw pretty flowers just to name a few.

Flashback
In 2014, I was silly and feeling happy, content and unsettled at the same time; in 2016, I was dealing with a lot of different health issues; in 2017, I hoped to start blogging again under Everyday Jersey Girl; in 2020, there was a lot of uncertainty in the world during quarantine; in 2021, a social media break was productive and in 2022, lots of outside time meant lots of allergies and (unrelated) a great doctors report.

Gym update
4 early morning’s at Retro/// This is my favorite time to go. The crowd seems to be all focused on getting their workout done and then getting out of there. I love seeing the same cast of characters in the morning.
7 walks/// This was one of my favorite parts of the month- so much outdoor time.
No yoga or climbing/// I took a step back from Gravity Vault last month and I am happy with my decision. I felt that it was becoming more of a chore than a choice; with my membership expiring this month, I decided to let it run out.

Looking forward
It’s gonna be…..MAY!
Lots of fun things happening this month, River to Bay 5K, a carnival, Memorial Day Weekend and getting ready for a fun adventure in the beginning of June.
