10 Things to Smile About {May 2015}
It’s the end of May and time to talk about all the great things that made us smile this month. (Please let me know if you’re linking up for 10 Things. I want to see all the happy in your life too!)
1. I ran the Gateway to the Smokies half marathon!
2. Graduation happened, as did a long week of graduation-related activities and the graduation reception. (Sensing a theme here?) It all happened and we all survived.
3. Mother’s Day was a fun day.
4. I took the funniest photos at this year’s Biltmore 15k. It was a good race, and I even saw an old college friend at the race!
5. Our garden is taking off! I think we have 90% of our vegetables planted, and I’ve had extra help watering from Lucas. He loves to water the plants! His carrots are also growing, which makes me happy.
6. Type-A Summit happened. It was one of my most favorite weekends this year. (Minus the food poisoning. That wasn’t fun.)
7. I actually guest post for SITS a couple of times this month. I don’t normally commit to that many guest posts in one month, but it’s been pretty fun! (I have a few more scheduled this summer.)
8. I’ve read a lot, and I finally finished The Fringe Hours. Loved that book.
9. I’ve just about finished (re)scrapbooking my college photo album. I’m doing it through Project Life, and moving the photos and documents out of one of the old sticky photo albums. Those things are so awful. I’m hoping I can share photos soon! It took an afternoon, and I’ve been adding pages as necessary and I love how it has turned out!
10. We’re going to see some friends this weekend who we haven’t really hung out with in almost two years! We saw them at dinner last fall (summer??) but we haven’t seen their boys since my son’s first birthday party – almost 3 years ago. It’s been TOO long!
So what made you smile most this month?
What a great month! Love your funny pictures from the race. I think if I stopped running to take a picture I would never want to start again š That Fringe Hours book sounds good, it is important to take care of ourselves too. Food poisoning is never fun. Glad your garden is doing good, that really would be fun for your son.
Thanks so much for linking up!
Yay for May! It’s been a good month and we are on our way to a great summer!
Yay! I love the collages. We certainly both had a great May. š Can’t wait for many more memories together.
I keep hearing about the possibility of Type A coming to Boston next year. I really hope it does!
Wonderful post. It’s always great to find so much to smile about. I think most people over look the everyday things, Love the pictures! Glad you had a great month
We went camping during Memorial Day and it was so much fun. So many smiles and laughter..even though we had scary floods all around us.
You have a lot to smile about. I am working n my garden today!
Wow lots of things to smile about absolutely! Love these posts. Make you think of all the fun stuff you’ve done! I would love to do a run!
Looks like you had a lot to smile about, as usual. Sorry about the food poisoning though. That’s never fun.
can’t wait to hear about how your garden shapes up š
You did so many fun things this month! I did some traveling too but not too much reading this month!
This month I had a lot of things to smile about as well. The best were long naps with my snuggly dogs!
I love SITS Girls! Sounds like you are only busy woman! Looks like you had a great May!
I love positive posts like this. School is out!
Spending time with my family now that the weather is nicer is what made me smile this month. I look forward to many more warm fun days with them this Summer.
A half marathon & a 15K?! That is absolutely awesome! š
Sounds like you had a great month! May is always my favorite month of the year. My daughter turned 7, my dad turned 57, and my daughter passed the first grade! lot’s of stuff to smile about š
Looks like overall it was a great month! Food poisoning is no fun – hopefully that doesn’t happen to you ever again!
Those are really great things to be proud of. I would love to finish scrapbooking my kids arts.
These are all great reasons to smile. This month was a great month for us. My daughter got a scholarship for her first year of college. My son passed his first year of College.
I really like your post. These pictures are so cool. You really have a lot to smile about. Looks like overall it was a great month for you & wishing more such great months ahead.
The biggest thing for me was a major breakthrough with my son on something. So happy about that. š
What a fun idea! My birthday was this month, so that was great, and my four year old got out of his comfort zone and played soccer for the first time with a park district team! š
Food poisoning is never fun, but blogging conferences are! So awesome you are planning a garden, that will be so nice this fall. Love your mother’s day picture; I sometimes wish we lived closer to family. Thanks so much for linking up, sorry I am horribly slow about commenting!
