So remember when we thought winter was finally over? I stumbled out of my bed yesterday morning and literally couldn’t comprehend the snow I saw out the window. Yikes! I hope that was the last of it…FOR REAL THIS TIME. This week, I’m counting down the hours until Friday when I get to travel to Bowling Green and see so many beautiful faces. A bunch of former WKU Forensics team members are meeting back on the Hill for an Alumni Work Weekend to help prepare the current team for their Nationals run. I’m looking forward to seeing some mind-blowing speeches and hugging some loves that it feels like I only get to see once in a blue moon. ‘Til then my dears, here are some fun links to pass a few of those hours between now and Friday–a day I’m sure we’re ALL looking forward to, whether venturing to BG or not. : )

Hello lovelies! What have you been up to this week? Monday night, in celebration of the warm front, I grabbed drinks with a few friends after work. We got a bucket of seasonal SUMMER beer and even sat out on the patio for a little bit. Yesterday, I had to go to some job training (complete with many poorly acted educational videos) but the commute to and fro with the sun shinin’ and all my windows rolled down totally made it a-ok! I even squeezed in a walk around my neighborhood at sunset. Life’s possibilities seem endless to me when the weather is warm! ….We just won’t mention the fact that my weather app said it was supposed to snow today….that can’t be true, right? I hope the rest of your week is full of the promises of Spring and here are a few links just for you!

Love y’all! This blog has been such a fun adventure so far and I really appreciate all your kind words and support! I sure do know some awesome people. : )

P.S. Sending love to East Harlem today. ❤

I hope everyone had a fantastic Mardi Gras! What are your plans for the rest of the week? Today is technically day one of my weekend…but then I have to go back to work tomorrow and take weekend day two on Friday. Weird, but in the end perfect, as it’s my Mom’s birthday on Friday! Have a killer week, and here are a few Internet gems for your mid-week enjoyment. Give ’em a click, if you’d like!
