May: Sustain

Connection: My favorite connection this month was attending a friend's wedding. And the festivities before and after!

Family: For Memorial Day weekend it was just me and the kids. On Sunday we met up with the wedding party for lunch and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Afterwards we went to see the movie RGB about Ruth Bader Ginsburg - which was excellent.

My husband and I got in two date nights this month. Once for a sushi dinner and another time that was just browsing for house items while the kids were at youth group.  

Faith: I read 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, and 1 Peter.

Health: 34 hours of exercise in a 31 day month! I kept up with weights and am starting to add abs on those days.

Intellect: Books I read this month
Book club - The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison. While this book was a very compelling read, I found it hard to put down, it also was a tough read because it dealt with tough topics. We meet Maya in the middle of an investigation that aims to find out why a man known as the "Gardener" has collected a garden full of missing young girls for his own uses.

The Gender Game by Bella Forrest. I found this book fascinating up until the end. I did feel the last chapter was a little rushed and didn't quite go with the rest of the book, but I'm willing to read the next book in the series to find out!
What happens when society has been separated into two kingdoms - one ruled by males and one by females? Violet has found life hard as an orphan and with little options left has agreed to an espionage mission that will take her from the female ruled Matrus to the male ruled Patrius, where she finds that things are not always as they seem.
