Loving Life

Despite waking up to a coating of snow everywhere, I just can't stop being excited for Spring. Spring is only my third favorite season (1st- Summer, 2nd- Fall, 4th- Winter) but that just means we are getting that much closer to another great Minnesota summer. And that makes me a very happy girl.

Corey left for a bachelor party weekend yesterday and to be honest I could not be more excited to have him away for a weekend so I can get things organized that I have been putting off for WAY too long. It is Saturday morning and I already feel so good about what I have accomplished this weekend.

First thing on my list this weekend- BE LAZY- and last night I did just that. I had a gym bag packed to go to Lifetime after work yesterday, but I decided to skip the workout and come straight home to scarf down the second half of a 'Love It' cup of Cake Batter ice cream with graham cracker crumbs and strawberries from Coldstone. I dropped my gym bag, purse and lunch sack and climbed into bed with my ice cream and watched five episodes of Friends. It was just what I needed!

On the master list of things to do today:
-Wash my sheets and duvet cover (I love fresh clean sheets)
-Workout (a hard one- gotta get ready for summer)
-Switch out the winter clothes to spring/summer clothes in my closet and drawers
-Donation pile (rule of thumb- if you didn't wear it this year, you won't wear it next year- DONATE)
-Shop for jeans and capris
-Feed cats at Dad's house (Milo will be waiting for me at the door, Stormy will be nowhere to be found)
-Scan old pictures for our wedding slideshow (I can't wait to page through the countless albums at both my mom's house and my dad's house)

Time to get started! Enjoy your weekend everybody!

It's been awhile

Hmm last post was on March 25th? Woops. The great roller-coaster that is life has grabbed a hold of me once again and this time I don't know if it is ever going to slow down! I have slowly realized since graduating college that each week and each day is just going to go faster and faster. Instead of trying hard to make things slow down, (because at this point having control of my life seems impossible) I am going to live each and every day to the fullest, accept invitations to do things whenever possible, forget about getting eight hours of sleep a night and try to enjoy time doing things I love with people I love. 

Last weekend was our four day AMAZING trip to the Big Apple. We saw many of the prime spots in New York. Corey's favorite location was Times Square. I must say that my favorite part was seeing all of the hidden spots that people without a sister for a tour guide would be able to see. We were able to see so many things without the wasted time of not knowing which subway train to get on and what stop to get off at. A special thanks to Daina who showed us so much! We had a wonderful trip! 

We got home late Sunday night and this past week flew by. I can't believe it is the weekend now and already Saturday morning! We have had great weather in MN and we are taking full advantage of that. Corey's friends, Brent and Lauren, live in St. Michael. After work yesterday, we headed to their house for our first BBQ of the spring season!!! We hung out outside all night and ventured to the bar later on. It felt so nice to just be outside and feel the fresh air all evening. 

Another plus to the weather being amazing- I can start going on a walk (and attempted run) around Rice Lake today! I am so excited for it. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
