April Showers Bring May Flowers!

Nick and I really wanted to get our porch/patio ready for spring so we headed over to Home Depot to pick out some things that we would need. It's a project that has only just begun!

I built this birdhouse out of water resistant cardboard, its adorable! I hope we get some baby birds in it!

I LOVE to use fresh herbs when I cook, so this rosemary plant will be used quite often!

Hanging plants including a strawberry plant and some pansies

Nick was such a good sport while hanging the hooks we needed. He had to drill through cement, lol!

And what would a new home be without a Welcome flag!?

Yesterday we got our engagement pictures taken by a friend of ours from high school. We got lucky and the weather was sunny and in the 80's! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom here so we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery in DC! I feel so grateful living near such a pretty city!

(This picture is from Google, our engagement pictures will be up as soon as we get them!)

How was your weekend? What are you doing to get ready for Spring??

Take a Deep Breath, Spring is Here

Take a deep breath, inhale, smell the springtime scent...aah, its the best.

Call me crazy but I have been SO anxious to open up my windows and let the fresh air in without having to have slippers and a sweatshirt on. I am happy to say that I am sitting in my big comfy chair in a tank top with my windows open and I am in heaven.

There are birds singing outside, I wish I could record them because they sound so sweet.

It was a beautiful day here in VA, the sun was shining and it has been getting warmer and warmer each day. HELLO SPRING! The only downside to living in VA is that we don't have a Rita's Water Ice to get our free water ice on the first day of Spring. For a Philly girl, this is a BIG bummer. I need my fix!

I did my fair share of spring cleaning today. I managed to pack up my cable knit sweaters and flannel pj's and bring out the sundresses and tank tops, yea!!! I got myself organized and dusted all of the winter blues away!

What are you doing to get ready for spring??
