I love learning. The a-ha lightbulb moments, concepts sinking in, calculations, formulas, all of it. I find it all so rewarding.

I’m studying for an industry certification, and while I know a lot of the fundamentals, there’s so much more than I don’t use on a daily basis that I find fascinating.

I’m so grateful for my life-long learning journey.

Dinner with Donovon and my girls always gives me such great joy. All the little inside jokes, Donovon’s and my incessant use of movie quotes, and Alexa’s and Ava’s sisterly banter weave together to make the coziest of blankets wrapping me in happiness, serenity, and of course, gratitude.

Today Ava and I along with her Girl Scout troop went to Girl Day at UT Austin.

Ava claims she had an “okay” time, but I had a great time watching her program a light board, build a structure with toothpicks and marshmallows and have some fun with her friends.

I hope she cherishes this time; I sure do. And I’m grateful for these precious moments as they do not last for long.
