We miss it.

-

 It's almost been three years since we moved to Louisville! 😭

Here's some of the things that have happened since we returned to Michigan.

  • We bought a house! It's mostly great!
  • I realized how much I freaking love buffets. I miss them. I miss them so much.
  • I temporarily left Atria, worked at a different senior living place doing activities instead of care, then returned to Atria to do activities instead of care. 
  • I started running. Weird, right?
  • Iris is exactly the same.
  • Joey's been working from home since March 2020.
  • I started watching every Tom Hanks movie in order and have been documenting his yelling in each movie here: Tea and Tom Hanks
  • Joey needs a liver transplant and I'm going to start documenting it here: Toss a Coin For a Liver

The most exciting two minutes in sports*

March 9- May 1 *Who knew you could celebrate a 2 minute event for 3 weeks? It's Derby season, ya'll! The Facts Ashley came to visit! I  knew we were going to have a good time based on the music that was playing ("Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley and "All Star" by Smash Mouth in case anyone was wondering) when we got brunch at Wild Eggs (our fave). We checked out a thrift store and while there magically found a book I'd been on the hunt for. The exchange went a little something like this-- Katie: *rambles on and on about my technique for scouring used book stores* Ashley: *listens patiently* Katie: I really wish I could find the fourth book of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I feel like it's not popular enough to be anywhere and I'll just have to buy a used copy online or something. *about 30 seconds go by* Ashley: You mean this one? *holds up THE EXACT BOOK I WAS JUST WHINING ABOUT* We also found a great children's book t...

May 2 - June 14 The Facts The Kentucky Derby has come and gone. We "celebrated" it by seeing Avengers: Endgame and eating at Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe . The jokes on us though because we ended up missing the most controversial Derby in history. We did try a traditional derby food (the Atria version of Kentucky Hot Brown ). Also, Derby weekend started the trend of Joey taking me to work on the weekends I'm scheduled. It's nice for me to be chauffeured and nice for him to have a reason to leave work at a specific time if he gets called in. "Uh yeah... I'd love to help you test that thing we already did 700 times, but I gotta pick up my wife at 3:00 so... you might have to do it without me." My mom graduated! We did a quick trip to Grand Rapids to watch her commencement. It's never long enough, but it was a fun day and a half. She worked hard on her classes (and was the textbook example of an overachiever) and I'm very proud. ...

January 28 - March 8 The Facts AND WHEN I LOGGED IN TO FINISH, MY WORK WAS GONE. Now, I'm mad. 😡😣 Here's the shorter version... with mostly pictures since I don't remember all the words I originally used. 😢😭 Our dear friend and summertime travel companion, Lisa, came to visit for a weekend. Whenever we're together, there's baked goods, little free libraries, coffee, and LOTS of walking. Sometimes there's tattoos involved too, but not on this trip. We checked out several local shops-- and this confirmed for me, once again, that we currently live in a pretty cool area. Coffee at Please and Thank You. Wandering Joe Ley's Antiques. Eating a delicious strawberry pastry at Quills Coffee. We ditched Lisa twice while she was visiting to do things that we already had planned. 😬 (She's probably our most flexible and independent friend. Everyone needs a Lisa). One night, it was to see the Louisville Orchestra perform Star Wars Liv...
