WEEKENDS...

I love weekends.
Especially weekends without all day Saturday class! This weekend, I went with Kara and her boyfriend, Aaron to Green Bay to visit our brother Eric, his wife Erin and nephew Connor. We went out for dinner to a Hibachi restaurant and then night on the town. It was a great time. We then stayed overnight and I got to see my adorable nephew, 5 month old Connor in the morning for a little while. He is getting soooo big and cute. He just looks around and is all smiles. I love it! Then Saturday we drove through the snow covered roads and Kara and Aaron followed me back to Milwaukee as Kara works in milwaukee once a month for one of her jobs. So Saturday night all 4 of us including Jon and emmy too ordered pizza at our place and hung out and wandered Borders books for a while. Today was church and now just finished a paper for school. This is what weekends should be (minus the homework). It was nice to get out of town even if it was just for a night. I love to be busy this time of year, so winter can quickly go away. I am sooooooooo ready for spring and walks outside. I seriously feel like a new person when Spring arrives and I get tons of energy and motivation.. Its my favorite season.

I now have a few weeks with not much going on... just school and normal routine, which is fine by me. My next thing to look forward to is my birthday (March 16!, i turn a young "27") and going away to a resort in the Dells with Jon for a night and then to visit the parents in Wis Rapids... That should be fun. I have been trying to save money lately and not shop so all I have to say is once its my birthday, that rule is gone for a while at least. I plan to have fun spending at the outlet mall in the Dells and get some new spring clothes...

I am contemplating a Sunday afternoon nap vs. a walk outside.... hmmm. lazyness or exercise, always the dilemna.

Have a great week!
