HIGHLIGHTS + NOTES
- My mom's youngest sister and her family confirmed that they're flying out from England to attend our wedding here!!! I rarely get to see them, so this means *a lot* to me. I think they'll be spending two or three extra weeks here too ☺️
- ALL THE WEDDING STUFF // Starting pre-marital counseling, a FaceTime call with our videographer (my fiancé didn't have time so I had to do it alone 😬), visiting Crate & Barrel to put stuff on our registry, and a food tasting!
- I'm starting my third year of women's mentoring at church, and we'll be going through a handful of Psalms with the help of Sing a New Song by Lydia Brownbeck. This makes me both nervous and excited because 1) poetry is the hardest for me to study and 2) there are *150* psalms but 3) I'm not doing it alone! I get to hear from other sisters!
BOOKS I READ 📚
FIVE books read + 1,255 pages
If you want to see some statistics or read my reviews, check out my post on books I read in March!
FAVORITE MUSIC 🎵
- New Rules by Dua Lipa // I know this song has been out for a while, but I didn't really start liking it until this month ... now it's on repeat ALL THE TIME. I love this cover that Pentatonix did!
- Better With You by Jesse McCartney // JESSE MCCARTNEY IS BACK IN THE GAME AND BETTER THAN EVER. PLEASE DON'T STOP MAKING MUSIC AGAIN.
- And of course, I always have a musical on repeat! This month, it was music from The Greatest Showman 💙
MOVIES WATCHED 🎞️
- Black Panther (2018) // SO GOOD.
- Brink (1998) // I'm hoping to watch/re-watch all the Disney Channel Original Movies this year, so I started with one I've seen parts of. This was so cheesy but because I grew up while DCOM was becoming a thing, I love it for the nostalgia. Also, my fiancé is the same age as me but he hasn't watched a single one of these?! So of course I'm exposing him to my childhood, haha.
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) // I was a little skeptical going in, but WOW this was so much fun and hilarious. A lot less creepy than the original, from what I remember! I have never been a Jack Black fan, but I'll make an exception for him in this one.
- Ready Player One (2018) // I haven't read the book yet 🙊so I can't compare the two, but I really liked it. The story was pretty immersive, even though I didn't understand a lot of the gamer references. There were some parts where I literally gasped out loud and looked my fiancé with excitement because of the twists that happened. I will eventually read the book, hopefully soon so I can spot all the differences!
I thought I only watched two movies this month but wow, four! I normally don't watch a lot of TV or movies, but my fiancé loves it so it's what we do when we get the chance to hang out. These were all movies I watched with him, haha.
THINGS I WROTE 📝
- I got to hang out with Lily Anderson, author of The Only Thing Worse Than Me is You, Not Now, Not Ever, and the upcoming Undead Girl Gang! You can read what we talked about in this transcribed interview ☺️
- My book review for Meet Cute: Some people are destined to meet (★★★.5)
FAVORITE POSTS FROM AROUND THE WEB
I only have one for the month of March: "Everyone is Going Through Something" by Kevin Love, a basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. To see him honestly speaking (well, writing!) on his mental health while society holds him at such a high standard speaks so loudly to me.
