โs office (photo from June when she gave me my 10-yr pin in a weekly staff mtg). Grateful to work with this special team, serve this state, and learn for this leaderโwith an undeniably โdynamicโ and โdeterminedโ style.
My first ever deer hunt was successful. It was a gorgeous morning and I had the best guide (who, letโs be honest, did almost all of the work to make this happen) and an incredible experience. ๐ฆ ๐พ ๐
The Leadership program at the

for this opportunity. One step closer to a master's degree!

Hard to explain to a 4-year-old how her daycare family has changed forever. These little faces, the positive update from this ridiculously strong mom, and the outpouring of support from this incredible community all bring tears to my eyes. ๐ค SHARING information/links below
Our thoughts & prayers are with First Dakota Ag Banker Trevor Hupp & his wife, Kelsey. An explosion destroyed their home near Fort Pierre yesterday, causing serious injury & loss of life. A fund has been established & donations can be made at any First Dakota bank.
A lot of disappointing cancellations and missed opportunities in 2020. Thinking of the

Folded (and put away) all of the laundry, got my inbox to 9 emails, and helped my 5-year-old ride a bike (no training wheels). Letโs go, Monday! ๐งบ ๐ง ๐ฒ ๐
House is spotless and freakishly organized, I have four emails to get through at work today, and nothing planned for dinner tonight.... come on baby! ๐ถ๐ป We are ready!
Had to physically drag my screaming child out of Wal-mart today. Fully appreciate the number of strangers showing empathy and telling me I was a good mom.
The cashier at Qdoba today said โmoms eat freeโ and didnโt charge me, so I guess this means Iโm in the club officially? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ โซ๏ธ๐คโซ๏ธ๐คฐ๐ปHappy Motherโs Day!
I seriously think my husband is in a contest with himself to see if he canโt wake the baby up...or maybe I just didnโt notice before how much noise he makes. Constantly.
Next time there is an opportunity to repeal DST, I would like every person who gets a vote to have to deal with simultaneously editing the routine of an infant and a child under 5 by one hour. For the love of parents everywhere, please stop this time change madness.
Shout out the Pierre School District. I still canโt believe how smooth kindergarten screening was this morning. So much happened in only an hour while multiple families were going through the same steps. Yet, nothing about it was stressful for me or my child.
There is nothing like that first solid night of sleep after months of getting up with a baby at all hours. Iโm firing on all cylinders todayโฆ look out ๐.

Can we all just spend an hour of our life re-learning the right-of-way rules of a four-way stop? It seems like, overall, it didnโt stick the first time.
My anxiety about officially being a working mom on Monday manifested into a glorious white tornado. Cleaned, purged, rearranged furniture, and meal planned ๐ช๐ผ.
When I walked in the door tonight, my husband was folding clothes and had vacuumed. Heโs never done either of those things in our life together. I didnโt even know he knew how the vacuum worked. What should I be concerned about?? ๐คจ๐ณ
I may have unfolded laundry all over the living room floor and I never make my bed, but I can jump a stalled vehicle. Thanks for the assist

Officially back to work after 12+ weeks home as a family. Paid family leave is a huge benefit. In some ways I could have used 12 more weeks, but Iโm also very ready to get back to work for a Governor who has made it her priority to get more paternity for more South Dakotans. ๐ค๐ค
In-laws Christmas today and at 9:45 a.m. they were showing me where all the wine is. So Iโve obviously made a solid impression. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ท
