Friends and Family

I feel like we’ve just gotten relaxed all of the craziness of the holiday season, and it’s suddenly Easter this weekend.  I am super happy that for Easter this year we are keeping things low key and staying in town. We still have multiple places to go, but at least since everyone is in town…

I love spring. As I get older (I’ll be 30 later this month!) It’s the perfect time of year to find new ways to continue to grow as a person. The beautiful warm weather (an impending swimsuit season) are making me want to get out and walk at lunch. It gives me a great opportunity…

#OurProject52 – Green

Is it spring yet? We’ve barely gotten rid of the snow, and my lawn is a muddy marsh.  In fact, the only truly green plant-life I’ve seen lately is what’s left of my Amaryllis. I don’t generally mind the winter, but I’m to the point that I’m ready for some sunshine and flowers. You can…

#OurProject52 – In My Cup

Today, as I write this, what’s in my cup are the bottom dregs of a cuppa’ hot chocolate from Holy Grounds, the campus coffee shop that sells Starbucks brand coffee products. It’s a bit of a treat for me to go in to Holy Grounds for coffee, one I’ve been getting too much lately considering…
