Spring.

My life as of late has been more crazy than usual. I have had to lean on God more than usual. I have not had as much sleep as I would like. This season is pretty gut wrenching and I am ready to move out of it! Which will happen, all in due time, and until that time here is my recap. Already 81 days into the year! It is flying by so quick!

68. My day started out with a search for a spring and summer staple. My search was longer than anticipated but I found it! If you like the loose beachy messy look this is the stuff for you... and me. 

69. One of my favorite things in life is winning. & Thats what I did all day long.

70. I made spaghetti quash for the first time. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... but it wasn't pasta either. so. There's that. 

71. All of these trees have decided spring is here... and these are my very favorite sight to see walking around Lubbock lately. 

72. I rarely get to meet up with J for lunch or anything during the week because I take late lunches but today we actually made an afternoon lunch date and it was relaxing in the middle of my work week. 

  

73. I like finding quotes like this because this is how things sound in my head. 

74. Well sometimes there must be bowling. & this little guy was an all star & loved it.... everytime it was his turn. 

75.  We went on a date to Chuck E Cheese just the two of us. Why? Because guys, my life has been really stressful lately. It's been an emotionally taxing couple of weeks and I needed a night off from being a grown up.

76. We look ready to be parents yes? No. We're not. No babies! We did take this little nugget to Home Depot and he was just thrilled beyond anything I could have imagined. Kids really are easily entertained. 

77. I had another completely stressful day full of questions I did not have any answers to. All of that requires time outside away from the questions. 

78. I had a little helper in the kitchen with dinner clean up. 

79. It was my first attempt at a homemade Turkey burger, we usually hit up Bless Your Heart for our Turkey Burgers but I wanted to see if it could be replicated, and it can... almost. They have delicious bread.

 80. The color run is this weekend! I have been awaiting this gem for a year, and am so glad I didn't have to pack it up and head to Dallas this year. It is supposed to be chilly and windy tomorrow but you know what? I still plan on enjoying every minute of it and having a blast!

81. Due to the afore mentioned stresses and am every day counting down to this trip. I am looking forward to relaxing at the Qua in Caesar's Palace, eating pastries at Jean Philippe every morning while looking at the Bellagio gardens, and devouring frozen hot chocolate on the patio at Serendipity 3. I can not wait to be on the Mandalay beach, feet in sand, wave pool and lazy river waiting for me. I am looking forward to days away from Lubbock with my husband, mom and nephew. It is much needed and it will be where I walking into my 28th year of life! I love a birthday in Las Vegas.
