April and what got me through it...

This month...man, let's just say I am glad it's over.

Chad had a rotation in Dallas for the month of April so I have been holding down the beach house all alone.

You know that saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

It's true. 100%

I miss Chad like crazy but thankfully tomorrow he comes home! 

Hooray, hooray!

So here is what has gotten me through the month of April:

1. PEANUT BUTTER!!! 

Chad is allergic to peanuts so as a precaution I do not have anything in the house that has peanuts. Well, Chad left and the peanut butter came out... in all forms- Reese's, Jiffy to go cups, on toast, off the spoon... however I could eat it, I did. And it was delicious.

I will miss you peanut butter. You and Nutella do make the perfect couple :)

2. Reading of course. My friends and I are attempting to start a book club and our first book is:

We chose it because of the new movie coming out soon.

I really enjoyed reading it and can't wait to discuss it with the girls on May 8th! 

3. Revenge

I'm addicted. For sure. 

It all started with Netflix, as it always does. First season is an instant watch and I was hooked. 

22 episodes of 43 minutes each- don't mind if I do.

Thank you, Revenge, for letting me waste, oh I mean spend, so many hours with you.

Emily Thorne you are crazy.

 Warning: you will get addicted if you start watching...

4. Chai Tea

Ever since visiting Africa, chai tea has been a night time comfort drink.

My friends bought me the authentic tea bags and spice from an African market place in Dallas. 

I heat my milk with 2 tea bags and sleep is sure to follow...

Now, if I was only in Africa! I have not traveled overseas in over 2 years- I'm dying!

 I need to travel- somewhere- now!!!

These were my little things that slightly eased the pain of Chad being gone. 

I am thankful for my job, the time it takes, running (we ran 5 miles last Saturday- woop!), and most importantly friends. I really would not have made it this month without the blessing of some wonderful friendships. :)

April, oh most dreaded April, I conquered you! HA!

Tomorrow our sweet little family will be back for good!

No more rotations away- yeah!

Watch out May- it's gonna be a great month!
