Looking Forward

Happy Friday!

Well, it's not so happy for me. I'm being a baby, but it's the last day of spring break. Yes, of course I have the weekend, but still ... this week went by SO FAST! Time off always does, right?

It's been awhile since I've been in this space updating you all (I'm pretty sure all my readers are IRL friends now... if not, come out of the woodwork!). Since it has been awhile, I figured I would do a looking forward post as a way of updating you on the goings on in my life!

This weekend ... tonight we are celebrating a dear friends birthday with a girls night out! We are getting mani/pedis together and then heading out for dinner. I am excited to see all the girls! As we get older, it gets harder and harder ... Also this weekend, I have TWO trunk shows scheduled for Sunday! What's a trunk show, you ask? Well, in January I signed up to be a Stella & Dot Stylist due to this amazing promotion and I am so shocked by how much fun I am having with it! It is completely my own business and I can do as little or as much with it as I want, which is PERFECT for me. Anyway, this is all for another post! I will explain everything! :)

This week ...  I am taking a class for work (where we get graduate credit for FREE. Love my district!) that I am really excited for. That's about it ... pretty slow week ahead!

This month ... This month is about over! I enjoyed March though. We got a taste of some spring weather and I am very excited for more in April!

Next month ... April is going to be busy! We've got quite a bit going on ... We are going to a Murder Mystery Dinner in a small town about two hours away with a couple friend of ours that I am really excited about! We are heading to Minneapolis for a weekend to visit friends. Also that weekend Jodi Picoult is doing a lecture about the research that goes into her books, I am really looking forward to that, however I am worried that since I have seen her so many times she will be repeating everything I have already heard. Since the ticket cost $40 I am really hoping that is not the case ... Also that weekend I am attending a furniture refinishing party called Women, Wine and Wood Workshop. I need to find a piece of furniture to refinish, but I am really looking forward to learning this new skill!

This summer .... There is already a lot going on this summer! July is packed with Ragbrai, a trip to Vegas for Stella & Dot, and some curriculum training in Ames. I am so excited for this summer because I'm not planning a wedding and I will have a true summer off and to myself. Possibly my last summer "alone"?? Who knows...

What are you looking forward to these days??

Yay, you are back to blogging! And I still have not decided what to do about the Jodi Picoult speaking engagement. And I need to get busy with my stella & dot party list. Happy Friday! P.S. A belated birthday present will be in the mail SOON!

You have so much fun stuff ahead of you! That furniture refinishing workshop sounds SO cool. I would totally be into going to something like that!

Right now I'm mostly just looking forward to our trip to Maui! 2 weeks from today we will be there! Eeeeei! Can't wait!

Sounds like you've had a fun spring break and have a lot to look forward to!

Wow! You have a lot of great things to look forward to in the weeks and months to come! It will be so great to just enjoy your summer versus wedding planning! :) Things I'm looking forward to are seeing my family at Easter, seeing you in April, a trip to CO with Kyria to do some hiking, a trip to DC to meet baby Lemon, and a trip to Kamloops in September to visit Amber! I'm also looking forward to completing my first tri and running my 4th marathon this fall!

I'm glad to see a post from you! :) It sounds like you have a lot to look forward to! I'm mainly just looking forward to actually coming!

Kyria @ Travel Spot said...

Good to see you again! I am glad you had a good spring break. Hopefully you did a bit of rejuvenating before hitting the ground running once again.

I am looking forward to a trip to Portland next weekend, a meet up with Lisa in May, lots of summer activities and hopefully some big decisions happening this year!

You're coming up to Minneapolis? That's where I'm at!

Nora said...

your last summer all to yourself, huh? I'll email you why that's interesting :)

I'm looking forward to summer vacation.

Your Women, Wine and Wood Workshop sounds like so much fun! I always see people going to painting places like that and think it looks like a blast, but haven't had a chance to do it myself. Although I think a wood workshop would be even more useful, especially if you already have something in mind.

And I'm hopeful for you that this is your last summer alone! Especially if that means more than just an if at this point! :)
