april 2025.

i swear i blinked and april was over. my 2.5 weeks in memphis flew by, and before and after were packed also. highlights included:

a quick dinner with ellie during her way-too-short work trip // dinner with mamma tiziana // pranay came to town! // walshie wedding weekend and many reunions // family trip to hot springs // park hang with maggie and matt // lots of cooking // very slowly getting back into a routine

and here are some of my favorite photos from the month:
