Currently....

Reading: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - by Malcolm Gladwell.  My first introduction to Gladwell was while in college studying Journalism. I was assigned to read The Tipping Point for, I believe, Investigate Reporting, and I instantly fell in love with his ability to grab your attention and keep it all while explaining social dynamics and human behavior, both of which I find fascinating. I am a couple chapters in...    

Listening to: Lana Del Ray, Elway and all bands on the Riot Fest line-up that I am not familiar with. 
 
Thinking about: the future - getting taken away with planning, visions and dreams. It's important to live in the moment, but you hope the future comes and when it arrives it's good to be prepared. 

Feeling thankful: Bryan got a job!! This is wonderful fro a number of reasons. First and foremost for his well being. After he graduated from college a couple years ago Bryan's focus went to figuring out "us." So, not only was he trying to get a professional job post-college in a foreign country he was trying to get his first job EVER post -college. He had been job hunting since late February and was offered a position a couple weeks ago doing entry level data/IT work at a pretty large company. It's not his dream job, but it's a step in the right direction. He never gave up and worked so hard. He's great like that.  Also, the extra income allows us to start planning for travels including a much needed visit back to Dublin and saving... possibly to have a proper wedding one day!?! who knows. It's just nice to feel a bit of financial security.  Yeah, feeling very thankful.

Eating: Peaches! mmmm nom nom nom, I find they go soft quickly so I've been gobbling up one each morning with my breakfast.

Watching: Orange is the New Black - I am a little bummed that I didn't realize this was a book prior to watching, as I think based off how fantastic the show is the book is probably stellar. Anyhoo - highly recommend checking out this show if you haven't. I absolutely love all the sub characters and their stores.

Loving:  Kickball. We have great people on our team!!
