just what i needed...

during my weeklong break from school - i got to enjoy some of my most favorite things...including:

quality time with my nephew while we waited for his baby sister to arrive

being with my sissy at the hospital during her labor...

and then meeting my new niece moments after she arrived!

raiding my parents cabinets for goodies like these

relaxing with my daddy watching jeopardy and the news

(doesn't he look good with a baby in his arms? melts my heart)

almost killing mary's dog while trying to take him on a run with me

snazzing it up with my other nephew - so handsome

wearing this necklace for the first time EVER - i've owned it for almost 3 years

laughing at this funny guy

(hello?)

celebrating my dad's retirement with my family

coming home to some treats for "student nurses day"

(did you see how cute he was to print off and color little nurses hats :) )

rockin my red jeans

and it's friday!! yeah

i've got a full weekend of homework ahead of me :( boo

but i do hope to at least make it out to the farmers market downtown and get my raised vegetable garden planted

gotta get 6.5 miles in on sunday too - dam to dam is coming up FAST!

enjoy the weekend friends

and these beauties caught my eye on my run tonight - pretty sure i've never randomly picked wild flowers before...not sure what got into me!! must be the most beautifullyamazinggorgeous spring day we are having. 

they might be weeds - but aren't they pretties?

bringing a little spring to my windowsill
