Good morning Thursday, I wasn't too excited to see you at 7 a.m. But one latte and some granola later, I'm ready to power through. 


I was really hoping the weather would stay nice, as I was really getting into the spring thing. It's supposed to snow this weekend - yikes! It will be a good weekend be at home, curled up on the couch with a good book Kindle. Next on my list is Love Wins by Rob Bell. I've heard both good and bad reviews, but I think it's worth a read. Has anyone read it? If so, thoughts?


I've been reading photography blogs and am really excited to get back into it. I took a lot of photos over the summer/fall, but when it got cold I stopped. Hopefully my upcoming travels will lead me to some great photo opportunities. I will be posting a lot more of my own photos here on the blog in upcoming months, so stay tuned!

First series of the blog will be wish I was here Wednesday. As I've said before, it's not my idea, but it's one that floats around some of the blogs that I follow and I figured I'd join the party.




only instead of a book, I would have my Kindle (one of the best inventions. ever.)

changing times!

I love that spring is finally here. Michael and I have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by grilling out, talking the dogs for walks, and enjoying drinks on our patio.

Big changes are happening in our household!

We are moving to a house here in Champaign. It has a big fenced in backyard for Lily and Pax, and it's much closer to campus. Move-in is slated for the end of May. Pictures to come..

I accepted a new job with and will be working and traveling with one of my favorite people in the world - my dad!

Michael got a job with a law firm in Peoria and will be living and working there for the summer. I can't believe he is almost done with his first year of law school. Two more years to go...I'm sure it will fly by...

In the meantime, I have 7 days of work left at my current job. Countdown is officially on!

stumbled upon this today and thought it was really fitting for me, given all of these changes that have happened so quickly and much of it unplanned:
