Well, yesterday was my BEST FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY! HOWEVER, I could NOT get ahold of her despite my multiple efforts. So, I resorted to emails and ecards…but it just didn’t feel right now talking to my best friend on her birthday!

I also wanted to send her something GREAT because I got those awesome gerber daisies from HER for MY birthday (click HERE) BUT she is constantly in a different state, at a different address and traveling like a crazy women, so I can’t ever get anything to her because she is NEVER in one place long enough! So, that idea failed!

SOO, I’m gonna have to resort to shouting it out on my BLOG and wishing her the HAPPIEST 27TH BIRTHDAY EVER!! She’s an amazing friend and when we were in college….on our birthday’s….she would always decorate our apartment like crazy with streamers and balloons and a cake….and MEL, I wish I could have done that for you yesterday!!! Gary’s cake was fairly impressive, though! (to see the cake that her boyfriend made for her, go HERE)

I LOVE YOU, MEL! Hope you had an awesome day!!!:) To see Melissa’s website, click HERE and to see her blog, click HERE.

I hate to continuously sound like a weather women or whatever….i feel like I’m sort of getting there by always talking about the weather, sunsets, snow, etc! Well, none the less….I DO love one thing about Indiana (among many things)….and it’s the SEASONS! I really don’t believe there is anything quite like truly experiencing the seasons! Waking up to the bright sunshine and a nice 65 degree day with the trees in full bloom, tulips & daffodils everywhere….is just bliss!

Then, sitting outside at 8 at night, sun still out, 75/80 degrees and eating watermelon & corn on the cob….makes everyone love summer….then a great cozy sweater and the crisp cool air in the fall…. and the trees are the most beatiful shades of orange, red & yellow….is just the best thing ever….and then waking up Christmas morning with a beautiful blanket of snow….just really makes life complete! I love the seasons! Well, today is my last Saturday off until the early winter! I’m excited to have weddings every single weekend until then!! I don’t get many Saturdays off, but when I do…i just LOVE them! Soo, today we had a major mission to do all of our landscaping for the entire summer & fall! HA! Well, you know how that goes….landscaping is always more work than you think. We aren’t quite done yet, luckily we have tomorrow!:)

Anyway….while working today, I was sitting in the grass…looking at the blue sky, loving the 73 degree temps….and just couldn’t help but think…gosh, i really do LOVE SPRINGTIME!!!:) Hope you’re enjoying it too…..
