Today was a perfect day. The weather was a perfect 72 degrees and sunny with just a hint of a cool breeze. My absolute favorite weather conditions, appreciated all the more when proceeded by a long, gray Ohio winter. Today was a picnic in the park kind of day. It was the kind of day that called for car windows being rolled down and the radio being turned up. Today was also the day that after a year filled with classes, late nights studying, applications, more applications, tests, waitlists and lots of prayers that my sweet husband was offered a position in the Marietta College Physician Assistant class of 2011! Today is the day we officially begin another chapter. Today, was a perfect day.
(A calm before the storm if you will... a cold front is bringing rain so tomorrow's weather is going to be less than ideal and living as students is pretty much going to stink...but today, today was perfect.)
In addition to her oh-so-cute kid creations, Kathleen, author of the lovely blog Grosgrain, is now doing clothing for grown-ups! I just checked out her blog and one of her latest give-aways is a thrift store revival dress! While perusing her site, I also noticed a link to another blog, Wardrobe Refashion, which is dedicated entirely to recycling old clothes. Apparently this is a movement! I say hooray for refurbished fashion!
We threw a surprise graduation party for my mother-in-law over the weekend. (She just graduated from nursing school- go Anna!) I was in charge of decorations and I used this easy template I found on Martha Stewart to make a pretty party banner. I think it would also be a nice addition to any birthday party, wedding or baby shower. Click here for the template and instructions.
Still floating a little bit from yesterday's good news.
This word book is so cute and so clever. I'm thinking I'd like to make one of my own.
Happy Birthday to my sweet husband Jared, who, by the way, is MUCH too manly for a silly party hat but (lucky for me) not too manly to humor his silly wife by wearing one.
