You're not seeing things...Easter was, in fact, the last time I had my act together and published a post.
It has been a whirlwind of craziness! Over the past two weeks, we have successfully packed up and migrated from beautiful Phoenix, Arizona to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; making just one quick two night pit stop to visit friends right outside of Amarillo, Texas along the way. Settling in and getting acquainted with the city over the past couple of weeks, I've come to find that it's quite wonderful! Aside from the lovely looming fact of it being in Tornado Alley and for being on somewhat of a small scale, size wise...it's a flourishing city. The restaurants are never ending and all of truly great quality, the city in itself is clean, and the people are friendly. What more could you ask for?
After getting settled into our surroundings...it's all about establishing routine. Every step we take and new adventure we encounter, we always have to find that balance. Especially in a new city and with a new schedule. [I definitely thrive on routine, as terrible as some might find that]. I know that I mentioned my eating habits once before, but that is where a lot of my routine comes in! First thing I focus on when I wake up: food. In true stride, I find something I love to eat, and that becomes my routine; my every morning. I'm not sure what the point is, it's just the way my brain works. I love that little bit of order. If I find something I truly love, why change it? THIS morning, however, I really stepped outside of my box and made pancakes...for myself! [Granted, I made them with my routine Greek Yogurt, fruit and half of a Clif bar, but still...]. Not just any pancakes, either. Heart shaped pancakes. The occasion? My husband arrives home today! Part of our routine, part of our schedule: travel. Just comes with the territory of some careers. But, there is truly nothing better than being back together after being apart! All is right in the world.

Find a reason to make some shaped pancakes! Mix up that morning routine just a little bit.
