Life Lately

June 3, 2013

I just had this startling realization that it’s JUNE. What?! This means I got out of school one month ago. I thought time would slow to a crawl after classes ended, the weather got warmer, and my bump got bigger, but that has not been the case. Time is still flying. I feel like I am just getting a grasp on the things I need to get done this summer and a month of it is already gone! Baby arrives in a little over three months. So much to do still! But here are a bunch of the crazy events that have been keeping me busy over the past few weeks…
 
22 week run vs. 25 week run {aka probably my last ever pregnancy run due to the extreme back pain and lack of normal walking ability that ensued afterward}
 
Baby boots and Mother’s Day Brunch

 
Summer to-do list… test drive strollers and make a plan to stay on track with school during my fake “maternity leave” this summer and fall
 
Pontoon-ing in San Diego for Bekah’s 30th! 
 
 
 
 
Then we drove up north to spend the rest of Memorial Day Weekend with my college roommate, her husband, and their precious boys. A day trip to Malibu was one of our adventures!
  
 
The party’s always at our place… I made the lemon cake for a friend’s fiesta a few weeks ago. And this past weekend my SIL threw us a baby shower pool party with all her friends! So fun!
 
I guess this makes me an official “mommy blogger?”

 
Happy moments. Hot chocolate date with husband. The day Gary Patterson followed me on Twitter. Eek!

 
 
Got to attend a fun Diamondbacks game with Micah’s work. We sat in the guest dugout right next to the REAL dugout.

 
  
Cousins and pool parties. They go together perfectly.

    You've got such a cute bump! I'm pregnant with my third right now, due at the end of November, and it really goes by quickly. Enjoy your last few months of pregnancy!

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
