I hope you’re doing well! We finally got out of January, and the groundhog has said that spring is coming sooner, so things are looking up!
It’s the first Saturday of month, so I would love to join you for a virtual coffee catch-up! Cheers to Deborah and Coco for hosting these each month!
Ultimate Coffee Date – February 2024
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that E has been taking swimming classes for the past few weeks, and we just received her mid-session progress report. While she has a lot of enthusiasm in the water and loves going underwater, she still has to work on her floating and kicking. I love seeing her in the pool and look forward to her continuing to improve!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that I’ve been going through the hiring process for an analyst to report to me. I’m almost at the point of making the final decision, and I’m really excited since we had so many great candidates. They are going to be a huge help, as work has been incredibly busy with more to come! I just need to NOT overthink when I make the final decision!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that on the 12th, Bret and I will celebrate our 12 year anniversary of our first date. Crazy how time flies! Hopefully we’ll get to do something nice to celebrate. It’s been incredibly busy for the family lately, but we are long overdue for a nice dinner out!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that I didn’t read nearly as many books as I wanted to in January, so I’m hoping to do a better job this month. My reading tastes are all over the place, but I do usually like to read books by black authors in February. Do you have any recommendations? I was listening to the audio of Black AF History last month, but I didn’t finish and now have to wait 9 more weeks to get it back!
What would you share with me over coffee?
Aww, I hope you end up with an awesome one! Having a bunch of great candidates to pick from is always nice! :]
I have several audiobooks I didn’t manage to finish in time this month, so I’ll hopefully finish them once they cycle through/get back to me again!
Happy almost-anniversary!
Thanks, Farrah! Hopefully your reads don’t take too long to come back!
All the best with the hiring process. I hope you find an analyst that is perfect for you. I’ve been doing a lot of interviews lately as well and it is exhausting but good at the same time. I’ll bet your little swimmer is the cutest!
Thank you! I’m excited to get the help and I really hope we have a good working relationship. E is just too cute in the water!
Wow, a progress report for swimming! I don’t think swim classes were so serious when my kids took them. I remember swim tests and such at summer camp, but that was middle school. 😉
Did you read Black Cake? That’s probably one of the best books I read last year.
It’s the local YMCA, I was definitely surprised to see that it was so formal but I appreciate it! I haven’t read Black Cake yet, thanks for the recommendation!
I actually have read a lot more books the last few months. I’m loving mystery thrillers these days. Congratulations on your anniversary time does fly. We will be 29 years this year!
I love a good thriller too, I need to find one of the many that are on my to-read list! And thank you!
It’s crazy that your little E is a small girl now and not a baby anymore. It seems like just yesterday she was born, and now she’s swimming. Congrats on the 12 years!
I hope you and Bret have a nice time out celebrating! I am sure your daughter looks adorable swimming and enjoying her class.
