Hanging Cutie

I've always been into plants, but mainly outdoor ones and vegetable gardens. Last year I started getting interested in house plants. Growing up, my mom kept lots of plants both inside and out. We always kept aloe in the kitchen for burns, an umbrella plant in the living room that had been passed down from my great grandmother, and a flowerbed outside full of peonies, gladiolus, and azalea, just to name a few.
I've learned a lot over the past year, and honestly have killed my fair share of plant babies, but a few are still going strong! My aloe is doing great, and I'm desperately trying to propagate goldfish plant cuttings. Jonathan surprised me with this sloth planter one day! He hangs in our kitchen. Not gonna lie, the plants pictured have long since died, but that's just an excuse to go back to the greenhouse!

I waited 22 years!!!

For my birthday last year, Jonathan took me to see the Lion King musical!! I had waited, wishing and hoping, since I was 11 years old to see this masterpiece. It was more than worth the wait - an amazing journey, full of incredible music, beautiful dance and chants, mind-blowing costume feats, and spiritually uplifting. The Lion King has always meant so much to me, on a very deep, personal, spiritual level, and seeing this literally left me speechless and in awe. If you ever get the chance, do yourself a favor and enjoy this beautiful work of visual and audible art!

Spring Visit

Last Easter, my brother, mother, and Trauma came to visit! We had a great time together. They had been to Virginia many times before, but it was the first time since we had moved here. It was also Trauma's very first time ever seeing a beach or the ocean! He was very unsure of it, and was not a fan of the water. He absolutely loves his pool back home, but the ocean was just too much for him. He takes after his momma - I'd prefer to be in a pool, too! Nonetheless, it was great having everyone together in our new home.
