it smells like spring.

well today was eventful, which is nice.

here is what happened...

our apartment complex is generous enough to pay for our heating and air.

the catch is you get one or the other (but who's complaining!).

well, the temperature all week has been in the 70's. pretty warm right? especially at night. but this beautiful note was on our door around 6. i may have screamed for joy. guess who is sleeping under the covers tonight my friends!

 for dinner my wonderful and handsome husband suggested mexican because he knew i didnt want to cook after being at work all day and of course all week. so we went to a precious place attached to the mall... can you say precious when its attached to the mall? and of course because it is friday our friend nathan came with us. its a tradition for the three of us to hang out on friday nights. kinda like a given. we also sat outside on a quaint (whats with these adjectives?) little terrace so we could enjoy the beautiful spring evening that God so graciously provided. 

it even smelled of spring!

 this little fellow hopped around us all during our stay, which was quite long. 

again, i mayyy have talked to him and called him little baby.

i just love birds! so very much.

 i took many pictures, 

but i figured i would spare you of all of them and show you just some.

 these are definitely some favorites.

love love love lights.

not as much as birds though.

then we came home and had molten chocolate lava cakes and watched a movie.

they were delicious. i meant to take a picture, but we ate them.

i couldnt be more excited that it is finally friday!

and we actually have things planned for tomorrow night instead of law and order.

whoo! i will tell you all about it on sunday.

but im pretty sure you werent questioning that one.

if i make flowers, spring will come sooner.

saturday night is starting to be enchilada night. we had them again tonight and they were great! nathan also decided to join us for some hang out time. 

i started this saturday the same way last saturday began. 

i just slept a little later, which was wonderful.

and i made this list.

 so here is the craft of the day.

you need:

a wreath

fabric

fabric glue

the link above will teach you how to make the flowers.

and trust me, your first flower will not be good.

but you will become a pro i promise.

i had to accept that my flowers werent going to look like theirs.

but that was okay, because they were MY flowers.

then you hang it!

(sorry these pictures are blurry.

my camera battery-both batteries-were dying 

and i had no desire to take care of the problem)

and then you get carried away.

like so...

i decided to make flowers for my hair.

 and flowers for my picture frame.

i secretly went around the house in my mind thinking of things i could put flowers on.

 so the total:

wreath: 3.99

fabric: 5.99

glue: 1.99

for a total of...

$11.97

such a inexpensive wreath.

you sure cant buy one for that.

i also picked up a few more things to do some crafts with.

ill post those later.

(just to keep your excitement going!)

and just a HUGE side note!

the sweet girl that had a birthday earlier this week,

got ENGAGED last night! (very sweet proposal too.)

her first words were "are you serious?" and then "did you ask my parents?"

how precious!

yayayay! i am so excited for her.

(she is the one on the right in the above picture.)
