Happy APRIL! I can’t believe I’m saying that… weren’t we JUST toasting to the new year?
I had about 100 good April Fools pranks planned today, and I just didn’t get to any of them. I’m a little bummed but I guess there’s always next year! Watch out, roommate and boyfriend.
Our Europe trip is getting closer and closer and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m going crazy planning out our itinerary, trying to plan my outfits, finding new luggage, etc. Isn’t it crazy how planning for a trip is SO stressful? I guess I shouldn’t complain because I’m literally going to Europe and the fact that I can do that is such a blessing. But I digress.
I finished such a good book this week: Educated by Tara Westover. It’s such an incredible memoir and this woman is so strong. I highly recommend, especially on Audible (which is where I listened!). I’m also in the middle of this book and just can’t put it down.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, Passover, or weekend!
