But I thought it was almost Spring...?

So, I'm not sure how this works, but last weekend I was outside with short sleeves and a rake in my hand and now this week it's back to layers and a shovel. I guess all that Spring stuff I mentioned last week jinxed us. Sorry guys.

I'm so anxious to get outside and enjoy our yard. The yard is the perfect size. Plenty of room to play bocce, set up a volleyball net during barbecues, and maybe even try our hand at gardening, all without being too large to mow with a push mower. Maybe in a few more weeks...maybe!

Did I mention how much we love our house? ::Swoon::

Speaking of looking forward to things, this weekend is going to be something else. I can tell you there is one thing I'm definitely looking forward to and one thing I'm definitely not looking forward to. Saturday morning, I'm getting up bright and early to put my "get fit" goal to the test as I participate in the 4-mile hilly Shamrock Run at Tipp Hill. 4 miles is not that long, but the hills make it very challenging...for me. There are lots of people on the sidewalks cheering you on and some of them are even wearing kilts and playing bag pipes, so that helps make it a little less sucky. After the run, a couple of beers will be had at a local Irish pub which will make the run seem worth it (kind of).

Following this, Sam and I have been invited to a 1920s themed birthday party for one of Sam's coworkers and I'm super excited. Costumes are required, so I will be transforming into a flapper (without the dance skills) and Sam will be transforming into a cute little newsboy. Drinks will be served from that era and the music will also be from the era. They are going all out! Don't worry, I'll have a photo for you next week.

In other news, I don't think I ever told you my goal by my 2nd Etsyversary (April 29th) was to reach 300 orders, did I? When I set this goal last year, I thought it was a stretch as I was at about 150 orders, but it turns out it may not have been. As of today I'm only 10 orders away, so keep your fingers crossed! :)
