WILW - Sunny Side Up

Look at me, I'm blogging!

And when there is no rhyme or reason to my muddled brain, you get a post dump. Just in time for What I'm Loving Wednesday too. =)

  I’m loving that we leave for vacation to sunny Mexico in 2 short weeks! I'm so over the moon excited that I'm losing my mind. Focusing at work has become a job all on its own and I fear my brain has already gone to the beach without me. It is going to be torture until we finally board that plane. 

 I'm loving all the decorating projects I've been up to, trying to keep myself occupied and thinking about things other than Mexico. The white comforter in our bedroom wasn’t looking so white anymore so we finally caved and bought a new set. This is the first one Jeremy picked out before me and I have to say that I was pretty impressed with his taste.

We are living in a very grey and white world right now.

  Along with the decorating/project theme, I'm loving the fun coffee filter wreath craft my friend Whitney and I finished a couple of weeks ago. We have become a tad obsessed with Pinterest lately and were both in a spring type mood so decided to give this one a go.

It obviously doesn't look nearly as good as the example {do they ever?} and took a lot longer than we had planned, but we really enjoyed the time spent on them while our guys played video games in the next room. It felt like we were in kindergarten all over again with crafting and game time.

I'm also loving that the entire project cost $6.50

  I'm loving some of the awesome days I've been having at work lately. Like everyone else, there are times when I get tired or jaded by my job but then there are also times when I find myself doing things I never thought I would have the chance to do and loving every second of it. I've been spending less days in the office these past few weeks and more time here:

I already mentioned that I had the chance to testify at my first court hearing a few weeks ago, but I was also able to appear before the Senate to pass a Bill through our State Department last month at the Capitol. It was such a cool experience to see how the system works behind the scenes and it made me consider law school again for the 1,000th time since I graduated. Maybe someday...

Our gold-tiled Capitol

  I'm loving how much bowling time we have been getting in. If you read this post, you would see that we are trying to get out and do things we normally don’t. We've had the chance to go several times for family and friend's birthdays and I forgot what a fun sport it is.

Sweet Hudson turned 5! a few weeks ago and we celebrated with our family

We also attended our friend, Levi's, surprise birthday party with bowling, beers, and co-workers last weekend.

{Something I am not loving is the fact that Picnik is closing next month. I've been editing photos like it's going out of business... oh wait.}

  I'm loving that the days are starting to get a little warmer and we actually hit the low 70's yesterday! Daylight Savings starts this weekend and the days are going to start getting longer and warmer. I was able to break out a couple of spring-type dresses the last few days {all ones that I bought before my shopping fast of course} and I am so excited to wear things other than sweaters and coats finally.

Spring is around the corner and Easter will be here before we know it!

  I'm loving this free Printable I found several months ago through a blog I follow and how much fun Jeremy and I have been having with it. I mentioned in a previous post that we are trying to speak each other's love language more for our resolutions and I was starting to feel guilty because he was doing so much better at Acts of Service for me than I was for him.

It's always hard for me to speak his love language of Words of Affirmation because I never want it to come across sounding forced or not true. Don't get me wrong, I could talk about how proud of Jeremy I am or how much I love him all day to family, friends and co-workers but for some reason it's just harder saying it directly to his face without sounding cheesy. My friend, Caitlin, made a less-lazy MUCH cuter version than mine but I highly recommend this for other married couples!

Not to mention, it's a nicer way to remind your spouse of his honey-do list =)

 I'm loving Covergirl's Sultry Sensuelle Lipstick {although, not a fan of the name so much} and that I've made myself be a bit more daring with make-up lately. I usually stick to just chap stick or un-colored lip gloss but I've been experimenting with darker shades and I love how much it can change your look.

Makes me feel much more grown up and helps clients not refer to me as "the little girl" in our office.

   And to end this on a non-shallow note, I’m loving a new church we attended a couple of weeks ago. After several months of discouraging visits we finally found one that we absolutely loved. The worship and sermon were both great and I could really see us getting involved there. We are going to give it a few more tries before we make a final decision, but it looks very promising and I’m just so happy that we even have a front runner right now.

I don't know how much I will be on here from now until our vacation because I'm crazy-busy at work trying to get ahead of schedule before we leave and I've also had zero motivation to blog lately. I'm hoping I get back into a groove when we return home and in the meantime you guys can feel bad for me when I'm being forced to do nothing but lie on a beach drinking as many margaritas as I can consume. =)

I'll be back when I'm back!
