Happy Friday, y'all!

 

Can you believe that we're unofficially in spring around South Carolina? Seems like we missed the memo around here that spring doesn't actually start until mid-March. It's going to be nearly 80 degrees & sunny today. And tomorrow. All sorts of things are blooming in our yard. The pollen craziness hasn't started yet but I'm sure it's right around the corner.

 

It's been awhile since there was a "currently" post around these parts, so enjoy!

 

Eating

All. The. Waffles.

 

 

We so shouldn't have purchased this waffle maker. Since buying it on Sunday, we've had waffles three times and I'm willing to bet that it'll be our breakfast one morning this weekend.

 

 

But we're 3 for 3 on having really, really good days after starting the morning off with waffles so why not?

 

Eating, Part 2

There's also been a couple of trips to Sweet Cream for ice cream this week.

 

 

Good thing I've been doing all of that running lately, right?

 

Drinking

Just over here twiddling my thumbs & counting down the days/hours until my 30 days of no alcohol challenge is over. I may or may not already have a bottle of pinot grigio chilling in the fridge, ready to be opened next Tuesday night.

 

Listening

I finally caught up on the newest season of Nashville this week & y'all, I am absolutely hooked on the song "Before You" that's sung by Clay {Joseph David-Jones} on the show.

 

 

It has seriously been on repeat on my phone since I downloaded it Wednesday night.

 

Watching

This Is Us - this week's episode finally made me cry {the DUCKS y'all, the ducks}

Quantico

Scandal

Nashville - still in shock over here this morning. Anyone else?

 

& after reading Talking as Fast as I Can, I had to start up Parenthood again on Netflix.

 

Exploring

Timmerman Trail

 

 

... & our yard. Somehow, I didn't kill every plant that we had. There are things blooming all over the place, including the hydrangeas that we were sure I had dehydrated to death. Surprise! Still alive. I'll be venturing out in the yard this weekend to clean it up a little and to see what I can do to keep things growing this spring.

 

Celebrating

There's a lot of celebrating going on at our house this week. That's really all I can say for now but cross your fingers & send good thoughts our way over the next few weeks!

{disclaimer: NOT pregnant! It's surprising how many people texted/emailed to ask that after this Instagram post yesterday morning...}

 

Running

Surprise, surprise, I have another 5K tomorrow morning. This will be the 4th Saturday in a row {!!!} and I have plans to make it 7 Saturdays in a row before I take a little {one week long} break.

 

Another Saturday, another 5K, & hopefully another PR.

 

Shopping

I was so good & completely avoided the 50% off sale at JCrew Factory this week... even when they threw in free shipping with it. I'm not sure that's ever happened.

 

But then I came home and found this package at the front door. Did I shop & forget about it? Nope! Patrick surprised me with a top that I wanted.

 

There was also this really good Shutterfly deal going on with free 8x8 book deals, 50% off hard cover books, 40% off everything else... and I did some damage. What? All those wedding pictures gotta go somewhere...

 

Planning

We're going to Nags Head this summer for a wedding! We're booking a house with another couple for an extended weekend and I can't wait.

 

What should we do while we're there? Check out a lighthouse? Drive up to Corolla to see the wild horses? Wright Brothers Museum? I've already added checking out the wind powered brewery {Outer Banks Brewing} to our list but what else should we do?

Have a great weekend!
