And I’m enjoying the green-ness all around.

This is not an important post, but anything is better than that sob story from yesterday.  Let’s put the violins away and celebrate spring!

No, really, after I wrote yesterday’s post, I felt much better.  And then decided that I needed to do less complaining, and more of what this blog is supposed to be about…"counting your blessings".  I really have so much to be grateful for and am lucky to do this great job everyday. 

Plus, I had a little retail therapy, which always helps.  This weekend my mom and I went shopping.  I needed her expert consulting on my clothing choices.  My mantra was "Would Olivia wear this?" (my ultra-chic, hip, sophisticated and beautiful sister-in-law).  If the answer was yes, I bought it, NO, I left it on the rack.

Bought more pairs of shoes in the last 5 days than I normally do in one whole year.  But oh, boy, did I enjoy it.

Like these… (click on "these" and it will take you to a link)

And these… (Derek said these look like my grandma’s quilt, which explains why I love them, since I love quilts!)

And these…

Yes, I had fun.  Keep in mind, I’ve been couped up for almost a year now. 

I love this picture of the boys, even though it’s blurry.  Caleb is a speed demon on that bike and loves for Jacob to chase him.
