We drove home today and it felt like it took forever. We managed to get out of Cherrystone by 6:15am and Ben and I were incredibly tired, so we had to switch off a couple of times throughout the drive. Ben was very grumpy for the first half of the trip. I'm not sure what was going on, but I DO know that he drank waaaayyyyyy too much last night, so that could have had something to do with it. Zach was making these drinks he was calling "transfusions", which were basically huge cups of vodka with a splash of grape juice or fruit punch. 🙄 Anyway, we made it home without incident. 

Jonas and Clem got home just in time to make it to their groups, which they were very happy about, and I was a little annoyed about since neither of them helped us unpack. We unpacked and cleaned up for about two hours, then I FINALLY got to go out to my garden to check on things! Yay! It's looking AMAZING. I'm so excited about it! I'm also excited to sleep in my own bed tonight and to not sweat at all tomorrow. :)

*Just a shirt I saw an ad for that I really want! And, also, my little crop from tonight. My first zucchini! Ever! 😍

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!

I'm finally starting to feel a little more like myself again. I can almost feel the energy to work on projects and maybe even see people. We'll see if it continues in this direction or if I backslide. I just never know anymore.  Late yesterday evening, Ben asked if the McKeans wanted to come over for a fire. I was shocked! He never wants to do last minute stuff like that. It was a really good night though. I'm glad he reached out to them and asked.  Today, we just did school and our usual BJJ classes. I cleaned and relaxed in the afternoon, then rode with Christina and Lauren to my CACH class planning meeting for the spring. We stopped at Chick-fil-A on the way and got some grub. It was a good meeting! I think the semester will be wonderful. I'm glad I'm doing this yearbook club thing. I think it's going to be a fun group. I need to put together an application for the kids to fill out!

Today was pretty fun. After we finished with school, we went to the playground with Christina, Sarah, and Mackenzie. I tried to talk Christina into going on a hike and she agreed! But then she asked if we could just switch to a playground, so we did that instead. But the kids had an awesome time, and I had a pretty good time too, so it's all good.  In the evening, Clem had her choir concert. Christina brought her kids, so they were there for her solo and Jaxon brought her a dozen roses!!! Clem was blushing so hard. It was very cute. She did a great job singing again. I'm so proud of her for being brave and giving herself 100% to her choirs, to learning her music, and to practicing daily. She's a good kid.
