It's hard to believe that it has been almost a year! I need to think of a way to celebrate!
April 1. Even though it is April Fool's Day, I put a down payment on a new convertible, so excited to be able to enjoy the April flowers with the top down!
April 2. Bob is working hard to get the planters up for my new cutting gardens, where there will be a potting bench and fruit trees!
April 3. My doctor revealed that I have lost 20 pounds!
April 4. I loved seeing my JC girlfriends at Book Club tonight, these are the women my soul cries for when we are apart for too long.

April 11. I was in Columbia again today to have our monthly meeting but it was a bit special as the Dean of Education came to our meeting.
April 12. Another meeting with my tax guy but the highlight of the day was meeting with the high school girls who are going to model the wedding dresses for the brunch later this month!
April 13. We are headed to Chicago to spend Easter with my daughter, alas, not in the convertible like we had planned and our dinner was at a fantastic location where the room was so sunny and bright it felt like you were dining outside.
April 15. Our event for today was to go and watch the ships move down the Chicago River back to Lake Michigan, in an annual event called the Bridge Lift, where 27 bridges are lifted in succession until all boats reach the Lake.
April 16. We had Easter brunch at Dusek's which was crazy good, with some courses being paired with beer and afterwards, headed to Washington Park to admire all the daffodils!
April 17. Today we are to pick up the car, 16 days after the initial purchase, which I find entirely unacceptable.
April 18. NO car.
April 19. A training on critical thinking at the middle school today kept my mind off the fact that we still don't have a car.
April 20. I had blood drawn today in order to see how my first 12 weeks on my new program is going!
April 21. Our dinner club ate at a restaurant that is owned by the same family that hosted our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and noticed they have a spectacular outdoor seating area.
April 22. Today was the PEO brunch, Daisies Say I Do, which was a huge success and so beautiful and I love all my PEO sisters!!

April 25. Met with middle school for the last time this year and did some more work on critical thinking.

April 27. Today was one of those days where I feel so much passion about my work, then, followed up with an online book club meeting with my daughter!
April 28. Bob and I drove to the dealership to get the new car today, completed all the paperwork and was waiting for the all clear to drive home, when the BUSINESS manager refused to let us take the car home until our bank issued the check for the car.
April 29. Even thought it was a rainy mess of a day, we did manage to go to the Master Gardener Plant sale which helped with my attitude about STILL NOT HAVING A CAR.
April 30. What a downpour we are having, but the side effect is that I have two adorable dogs snuggled up next to me.
Thank you for joining me for this so fun journaling experience! It has been an entire year of journaling with a sentence a day. I enjoy doing it and would love to group up with other writers to continue the idea. I started a Facebook group, too! Who wants to join me? You can join here!
