Love the Southern Spring Time

As a Midwest girl you don't get to really enjoy a "spring". Sure you get a few hopeful days in March that make you think your boots can be stored for another season, but then you get back from Spring Break and it snows. Always so depressing when your sun kissed has to be covered with Merino wool. The weather down here is honestly unbelievable! I mean 55/sunny, and that is a cool day.

I was a little bummed to pack up my sweaters last night and realize I got to wear like 1/5 of them, and this girl loves sweaters, but if that is the worst of my "bummers" in life right now I think I'm good:)

So the weather is great but the "southern socialness"of spring is even better! I remember having this image of kids playing with the neighbor kids running up and down the street, Moms chatting on front porches waiting for the Dads to get home from work,  and dogs chilling in the shade. That's what actually happens here! Everyday since the sun has been shining and the temps are up. Very Norman Rockwell. And the pool hasn't even opened.

Just this week there has been a play date every afternoon, Bachelor finale parties, and walks in the morning. Absolutely love the jam packed weekly calendar. I was just thinking about all of this on my walk home from the play date at Stefanie's today, I need to remember these fabulous Springs if one day we end up back in the chilly Midwest:)

With all of that said though, I need to quit babbling because I am so excited to finish packing for my Chicago trip this weekend! So many people I love that I get to hug in just 24 hours:)

Group effort this afternoon!
