Finally Spring!!!

I am so happy it is finally SPRING!

I was ready to say goodbye to old man winter. I love the snow, and I especially love snowdays, but I was ready for it to leave and bring on the warm, spring weather!

This weekend I spent as much time outside as possible. Perry and I went to the puppy park 3 times between Thursday to Sunday! He was loving it, and I was loving how much it wore him out once we got home, haha!

I'm also loving that I could run outside Friday, Saturday and tonight. I really don't mind running on the treadmill, but it has been SO NICE to be able to run outside after a long winter. I'm ready to Run the Bluegrass (just the 5K, NOT the half marathon, ha!) with my sister and our boyfriends in 2 weeks. 

I have been welcoming in spring with these little pretties.... 

And a glass of this tonight...

And watching the little pup pup enjoy laying outside on the balcony. 

How are you enjoying spring and the warmer weather?

 

Is It Spring Yet??

I love snow and I love snow days, BUT there comes a time when there has been TOO much snow and way too many snow days. If I could have it my way I would want one BIG snow storm that shuts down the city for several days. And then no more snow the rest of winter! Wouldn't that be nice. 

Reality is, that's most definitely not the case! In fact, I feel like the snow started earlier this year! We had 5 snow days before the holiday break. We now have 12 total snow days, which puts the last day of school to June 9th... And we still have the month of February. Not to mention the storm that's supposed to hit this week.

Enough with all the winter and snow talk. I was LOVING the warm(er) weather this weekend! 

It was almost 50 degrees this weekend! I had to take a picture of the temperature because I knew it would be too good to last. Oh well, at least it was nice for the 2 days that I didn't have work or anything to do but enjoy the weather and run errands with Ben! 

Oh what I would do to be in Charleston right now. I sometimes consider removing it from my weather locations, but I like the know what kind of weather my mom is getting compared to ours and vice versa. 

I can't wait until I can go somewhere warm for Spring Break. Defintely one of the perks of being a teacher... still getting a SB! Now I just have to figure out where Ben and I are going. Charleston, Florida or cruise.... Hmm. 

No matter where we go, it is going to be warm, which means I can start looking at spring clothes! Some current spring loves I have:

Some Lilly favorites.... Thinking this dress would be perfect for Keeneland!

 Shauna Tunic Dress Twill

Penelope Tunic Short

Victoria's Secret Cobalt Paisley Suit

and of course a little pink nail polish!

OPI Strawberry Margarita

In the new OPI Axxium/Gelish nail polish of course! I LOVE these new gel nails. I was so hesitant to first get the gel nails but after my boyfriends mom insisted I get them when we got our nails done on Christmas Eve, i couldn't say no, and I haven't been able to get a regular nail polish manicure since! They really do last for at least 2 weeks with no chips. However, I wish there were more color choices available. My favorite salon in Lexington is doing them now and have more color selections! Free glass of wine + a 2 week no-chip manicure is worth it!!! 

Here's looking forward to spring. And hoping that Old Man Winter is on his way out of town soon!!!
