Doing a link-up for the first time, I don’t know what I’m doing. To say the least. And I’m fine with that, but it’s taken me a little time to figure out what I want it to be. I’ve decided to make it a monthly post, in the hope that more friends and lovely strangers can join in without throwing a kink in their possibly already filled post schedules.

So, if we were on a coffee date…

I might be adventuring into the green tea world of Starbucks. Do you like green tea? I think I could do it if it had a peach twang or something.

I would tell you how I’ve caught the spark of home decorating and organizing. I feel like it comes in random waves – is it like that for you? Right now I’m in a season of decorator’s buzz (watching the entire season of Fixer Upper in about two weeks probably only adds to this buzz.. channeling my inner Joanna Gaines). I’m daydreaming about art for the wall, and prints to frame, and how to organize our clutter.

I would ask you if you’ve ever watched Fixer Upper, and do you like Joanna’s style? Because I do. A lot.

I would excitedly tell you that I think physical therapy is genuinely helping my neck. Hooray! Praise the Lord. I think I’m finally on the road to real recovery, I think. I keep giving myself the patience speech, though, so hallelujah for grace in that.

I would ask you what your all-time favorite recipe to make is. I created a binder to keep my printed out recipes in, finally, so I’m accumulating our favorites. I’d love to know yours!

I would tell you that I’ve been blowing through books. I’m a bookworm by nature, but I’ve probably read 4 books in the past week and a half. Lord, Change Me by Evelyn Christenson, Disciplines Of A Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund, His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley, and I Saw The Lord by Anne Graham Lotz. All distinctively different, all great reads.

I would ask you about an item on your bucket list. I have a serious travel itch at the moment, daydreaming of the Grand Canyon, Italy, Ireland, even the funky streets of California. What’s in the top 5 of your bucket list? Do you like to travel?

A monthly virtual coffee date — let’s have fun with it. :)
