    I can tell I need to go to bed because I am giggling that the last three comments have been me saying I will add things to my list. Getting slap happy! I love that you don't cuss. My siblings think I am weird because I don't (which tells you something about my family, huh?)

    I just posted my 11 today. Wow, you got a lot of questions! It took me nearly 3 days just to answer 1 set :P I enjoyed your post and getting to know more about you ;) We are thinking of moving to Raleigh too. Depends on the hubs' job prospects and if he goes to post-graduate school. It would be funny though if we both ended up there! I love that family pic. It's such a great shot.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.
Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Eve Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Evergreen) I picked up from @_rootsplantco this past weekend. The pink is gorgeous and I love it’s name.
6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
