Bittersweet is the appropriate word to sum up this week.  I lost a beloved aunt last week.  While I’m relieved she’s no longer suffering, the loss is palpable.  More than anything, I wish I could have gone to India to say good-bye.
And to know that my child won’t ever meet her (or the three uncles I lost in the past few years) is decidedly bitter.
That’s life, though. Â And it goes on.
But I’m truly overwhelmed (in a good way) at the outpouring of well wishes for our growing family. Â All of your comments, tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram comments mean the world to me. Â While I’ve never met many of you, I’m truly grateful that you take the time to visit my blog and share in my personal happy news! Â Your support and wonderful feedback was a powerful sweet in an otherwise bittersweet past few days.
I’m re-settling back into my usual routine this week, which feels blissfully normal.  A lot of writing and a few social engagements sit between me and a Vegas weekend with two of my best friends from college (and the husbands, too).
Obviously, am packing the smallest bag possible. Â Obviously, am very excited.
- Oh, to have been a passenger during the golden era of flight travel.
- 6 documentaries you NEED to add to your Netflix queue.
- It’s incredible that new revisions to the way history is taught is creating such an uproar. Â IT ALREADY HAPPENED.
- Love or hate her music, you can’t deny that Taylor Swift is a woman to admire. Â I’ve been playing “Shake It Off” on repeat since it was released.
- Leave it to Tumblr to provide critical commentary on Harry Potter that is spot. on.
- With so much horrific news coming out of the NFL, I can’t help but have mixed feelings on being such an ardent fan. Â Hannah Storm articulated my thoughts and emotions on the current state of football perfectly. Â Also, 5 annoying realities of being a female NFL fan. Â HAVE SUFFERED ALL OF THESE.
Your turn! Â Found any good reads this week? Â What are you looking forward to most this weekend? Â COMMENT below and let me know!
