It’s finally warming up around here. The past few days have been in the 70’s and it is glorious! We’ve been enjoying walks every night again. It’s hard when the snow comes and we’re unable to go out in the evening because it’s too cold so I am in love when the sun is still out at 8:00 PM and we can venture out. I wish I could move to a warm climate where this weather was all year round. That would be wonderful.

Over the weekend, we spent time with my grandma whose birthday is May 5th, cinco de mayo. We had a large get-together with my mom’s side of the family and celebrated with cake and catching up. I realized I hadn’t seen some of my cousins since my wedding and it was so great to see them and get updates on how everyone is doing. It seems like most are building their family’s quicker than I ever imagined and it makes me wish I could jump on that train too and ride along with them.

I was finally able to get a pair of these jeans, that I have been longing for for so long, and just got them back from the tailors. I also took this skater dress from asos and had it cut into a peplum top because it already had the most perfect sleeves; best idea ever!

When summer is around the corner I’m immediately drawn to the library where I recently picked up two new books from this amazing author. I have a habit of reading more in the summer than winter, I think because normally school would be out and I’d need a hobby, but am really in love with his ‘Andy Carpenter’ series which is about a lawyer who solves murder mysteries (fits right in with my love for Castle).
