Well here we are March 24th, 2008. 4 days into Spring and snow on the ground. We got nailed with a snow storm on Friday. The 2nd day of spring and we get 3-5 inches of snow. I think this is Mother Nature's way of toying with us. It was beautiful, but we've had enough snow for now. I am ready for sun, warm air, open windows, sitting on the porch and green ANYTHING!
Speaking of green, I made a trip to KY for St. Patty's day weekend. We (Katie, Lance & I) drove down to visit the Morris and Keith families. We had a nice visit. The girls managed to buy our Derby hats and Katie and I got our dresses too! Now it's on to finding shoes...always fun for me with my skiis for feet :) We also went to the Highlands, an area of Louisville with lots of of Celtic bars. There was O'Shea's, the Dublin Tavern, Flannegans and Molly Malone's...to name a few. Our favorite spot for the weekend, besides the Keith's newly renovated basement, was the Smryna Inn. It's total local spot but we loved it. All in all a nice time was had by all.
This past weekend was Easter. That was slightly different this year. I am not sure if it was b/c it was so much earlier this year or what, but it just didn't feel like a holiday. We didn't really celebrate this year. Luke and I stayed home, I made a ham big enough for 12 people and it was just he and I for dinner. Needless to say, we'll be eating ham the rest of this week! Dinner was nice though. Earlier in the day we ventured to the neighbors house for a big Easter egg hunt that they put on every year. There were a lot of kids who were having a blast! It was fun to watch. And we brought our furry kids over so they could play with everyone. They loved it too. It was nice. And despite the snow the sun was out and the weather was pretty enjoyable.
After the hunt and dinner, Luke finished up hanging the fixtures we bought for the new and improved bathroom. It looks AWESOME! Every time I go in there I smile. It turned out so nice! The faucet gave Luke a run for his money...we picked out a really nice looking Delta faucet. It was perfect! Except it turned out to be junk! So after three trips to Lowe's he took it back and bought one at Home Depot. It looks great too AND he was able to put it in with minimal swearing :) Always a good thing...
Well that's the latest on this end. I'll post some pics of St. Patty's weekend and the bathroom shortly. More to come...Happy Monday!

Pictures of the bathroom, please!!! How sad is it that we clamor for home improvement photos?
And congrats on one year later. :) I laughed that you made a ham dinner....two people and a ham, that's just crazy talk.
Love you! Hug that Mr. Luke person and the furry kids. I keep telling my feline furry kids that you just don't like them out of a horribly misguided parenting mistake. ~ patti
