Where Was I.....

Since we last spoke, I have survived a big work deadline and spring break.  Here's a phone picture dump of what all has been happening:

I'm trying to move into Spring clothing.  I've put the boots away and pulling in fun colors.  I'm also toying with this whole mixing prints thing.  Black gingham and leopard print.....baby steps.


I went with the former roommate family to Tuscaloosa to a UA gymnastics meet.  Though we didn't see a ton of gymnastics, we had lots of fun.  And, Alabama beat the #1 team!  Roll Tide!  Here's me and Ella. 


The boyfriend and I celebrated St. Patrick's Day with some of his friends.  Obviously you can't tell from the picture, but I had a cold and had almost completely lost my voice that day.  I'm still not over that nasty cold. 


The Harlem Globetrotters came to town.  I gave my nephew tickets for his birthday.  It was such a great show game.  Definitely entertaining for kids of all ages and I recommend it if you've never seen them. 


After a busy weekend of the aforementioned gymnastics meet, St. Patty's Day, and Globetrotters, I boarded a plane for a work conference.  Is it just me or are planes getting smaller? 


Don't feel too sorry for me, though, because I was headed to Palm Springs, CA.  I spent a day and a half lounging at the pool. 


I stayed at the La Quinta Resort & Club.  Very nice and so beautiful. 


Packing for the trip was slightly challenging.  I was packing for days, work conference, pool, and evening dinners/outings.  Think I brought enough jewelry?  In all seriousness, I wouldn't have packed that much, but my friend who also went asked that I "bring options."  I had enough for the two of us and then some!  Please note that I did not take a picture of the shoes (couldn't fit them all in - just kidding, or am I?). 


Then, back to reality and back to the gym.


I'm looking forward to a full Easter weekend.  Church services tonight, tomorrow night, and Sunday morning, a baby shower for Leanne on Saturday night, and Easter lunch with the boyfriend's family.  I love Easter weekend and these are some of my most favorite church services.  I go to Trinity United Methodist in Homewood.  Check out the schedule of services if you are looking for somewhere to go.  I hope the weather holds out for the outdoor sunrise service!  Maybe I'll post some pics of my Easter dress (yes, it's the same one as last year, but I was in Lineville for Easter last year). 

Have a very blessed Easter weekend!

Friday's Five Faves

I am so glad it's Friday!  I've needed every day at work this week and always feel bad wishing away my days, but I've been living for weekends lately.  Here's a few things that are putting a smile on my face today:

1.  Feeling better - this time last week, a nasty stomach bug had invaded my body.  Two days of sickness and nausea.  Props to the boyfriend for being a great nurse (and somehow not getting sick himself).  It pretty much looked like this:


2.  Good sports - some coworkers got together last night.  One guy is infamous for his jello shots.  I got (pregnant) Leanne to pose pretending to drink some so that I could text the picture to her husband.


3.  Juice - I'm juicing again!!  I got an Omega juicer and have been juicin' it up!



4.  Fun outfits - I'm so ready for spring and lighter/brighter clothes.  Here's what promises to be a staple Saturday errand outfit:


5.  Speaking of spring - the weather is going to be fabulous this weekend!  Sunny and possibly 70 degrees.....if only we weren't going to lose an hour....

Have an awesome weekend!
