Relaxing Weekends...?


Aren't weekends supposed to be relaxing? Lazy? Sit-around-in-your-pajamas-watching-hulu-type-weekends? That sure doesn't feel like it anymore. Sleeping in? Negative. But on Sunny Sundays like these, I find myself sitting back, breathing in that Spring air, and enjoying what little time I have until 8 am tomorrow morning.

Oh, and playing softball with my neighbors is a nice, new Sunday tradition that I've come to enjoy :)
I put up this picture of my friend Sarah and I at a Red Sox/Reds game two summers ago. This weather makes me nostalgic for baseball, and that game was a BLAST. The Reds stadium is pretty fabulous, and I can't wait to go there again!

I miss the blond hair from time to time....RIP (for now)

we're gonna have a good time

So my birthday came and went, and it was truly amazing. I'm so blessed and lucky to have such great friends and family in my life. One of my best friends came in from Chicago for my birthday weekend (Liz), as well as my friends Sarah and Lindsey. We went to Scotty's downtown Friday night to watch the Purdue game (don't want to talk about it). We were going to "take it easy" that night, since we were going to go to Broad Ripple Saturday night. Funny how things never turn out that way...we ended up going to a place called Ike and Jonsey's and actually had a great time. We stayed until the bars closed, which I haven't done in a very very long time. Saturday was a day of recovering, shopping, and just relaxing. Saturday night we went to dinner at a new favorite restaurant of mine called The Corner Wine Bar. It's' in Broad Ripple, so we had a late dinner then went out after. Butler had just won, so needless to say the bars were crowded and packed with Butler fans. I actually go to see some old friends from High School, which is always fun. All in all, it was a fabulous weekend, and definitely took some time to recover!! Here are some pictures from the weekend:








Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!!! And, NO, my birthday IS NOT CURSED FOR PURDUE BASKETBALL (coincidence that they played on my birthday the past 2 years in the Sweet Sixteen and lost....)
