THOUGHTS, ONE YEAR LATER.

I still remember the phone call.

I’d just pulled back into our parking lot. I’d spent the morning working on emails for a client, at my favorite coffee shop. I’d run into a friend there, of course, because Minneapolis is small like that.

Jonathan rarely calls me in the middle of a work day, but when his number showed up on my phone, I didn’t think anything of it.

Until I heard his voice. It didn’t even sound like him. .

I used to watch those movie scenes where someone gets bad news and falls to the ground screaming. I used to wonder if I would react to tragedy like that.

It wasn’t like that for me, though. I’ve never felt so voiceless. .

I hate the fact that I have “lasts” with Ben and David.
June 4, 2019. The last time Ben helped me with something. Sitting at my family’s kitchen table, making essential oil perfume rollers.

June 9, 2019. The last time David made fun of me. Dancing to “Low” at Jake and Emily’s wedding reception. .

Ben and David were family to me, long before I even started dating Jonathan. I feel so lucky for that. Especially now.

They were my brother’s best friends growing up—which meant sleepovers, and Ping Pong battles, and carpooling, and Langeland football parties.

And after Jon and I got married, it meant even more “one big family” stuff.

Cabin weekends, board game nights, Vikings games.

I knew them for 11 years. More than half their lives. What a gift. .

A year is a weird measurement of time.
For 365 days, I’ve watched my husband grieve. Those days feel very long.
381 days ago, I hugged them both goodbye, the night before their road trip. Those days feel very short. I remember that moment too clearly; how can a year have passed?

It’s been a year of unwanted “firsts.” First family vacation without them.
First football season without them.
First friend group hangout without them.
First birthday without them. .

We just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and I couldn’t stop thinking about them.

I wasn’t a tearful bride on my wedding day. I was happy beyond words, and couldn’t stop smiling.

But one thing made me cry that day. [continued in comments] by @sarahtemte

We’re so heartbroken. And we’re coveting your prayers, your love, and your stories of David & Ben—who lit up every life they touched.
These twin brothers of mine will always have a place in my heart. I just wish they could sleep on my couch, or send me ridiculous selfies, or keep me up while playing Fortnite with Jonathan one more time ❤️ by @sarahtemte

Spent the afternoon at the archery range with this handsome man. He keeps me grounded, keeps me dreaming, and gives me butterflies every single day. Jonathan, I love you. Happy 24th. by @sarahtemte

Making 62 look better every single day. And don’t let the serious face fool you - he did a backwards somersault off the side of the boat ten seconds later.
I love you, Dad. Thanks for keeping it real, leading by example, and always being up for a good debate. I promise that I’ll never take your endless supply of dad jokes for granted.

Spent the afternoon creating a rockstar marketing plan for this lovely soul 🔥❤️ So ready for @kcfilzenphotos to EXPLODE in 2018. .
And to all you creatives out there...just because you run a creative business does NOT mean that you have to live paycheck-to-paycheck or embody the “starving artist” stereotype. You 100% can serve your people, create beautiful work, AND make a dang good living...pinky-promise 😘 taken in Smith Eden Prairie by @sarahtemte

✨MEAL PREP FOR LAZY PEOPLE ✨ so, when I don’t meal prep, I end up eating toast and coffee for lunch, and Trader Joe’s orange chicken for dinner. Delicious, but not ideal 😂 BUT, on the weekends, I’d rather watch Netflix, cheer for the Vikings, and go on adventures with Jonathan than spend 87 hours in the kitchen doing hardcore meal prep. So this is my happy medium:
🥦🍄🥕🍆 Buy 6-8 *easy-to-roast* vegetable, like pre-cubed sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, shiitake mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts. Avoid anything that takes 20+ minutes to peel/cube/prep. Buy one *easy-to-prep* protein, like chicken thighs or ground turkey. Make/buy a few seasoning blends that taste AMAZING. Buy a few sauces/dressings/dips to mix up the flavors of your future meals. Buy pre-cooked, frozen rice and quinoa.
🍴🍴🍴Cover every baking pan you own with tin foil. Melt 1 cup of coconut oil. Preheat your oven to 400. Marinate your meat (or cook on the stove, if ground meat). My current marinade of choice: Dijon, maple syrup, & tamari. Drizzle coconut oil on your pans. Put each veggie on a separate pan. If you’re baking your meat of choice, put that on a pan too. Drizzle more coconut oil over everything. Sprinkle different veggies with your different seasoning blends.
⏰⏱⏲ Put everything in the oven. If a few pans don’t fit, put the ingredients with the longest cooking times in first. 📺📺📺 Go watch a movie, and check your oven every ten minutes to see if anything is done cooking. Package finished ingredients in plastic bags or glass containers. Celebrate the end of your meal prep, and go watch another movie.
🥣🥣🥣Whenever you feel hungry, put some of your frozen grains in the bottom of a bowl. Top with a few roasted veggies from the fridge. Microwave til hot and steamy. Finish with fun toppings: pickled jalapeños, chopped herbs, sesame seeds, tahini, hummus, pesto, dressing, barbecue sauce, salsa, sprouts, cheese, kraut, anything that floats your boat.

Really excited about: date night, @thejonnybravo coming home for the weekend, my sweet little nephew’s first Thanksgiving, and the pumpkin crescent rolls I’m baking this afternoon.
.
Also, discovering that when I think about all the things I’m excited for...getting out of bed gets easier. #makemorningsbeautiful by @sarahtemte
