Looking foward

So once again, I’ve become a little lackadaisical in my postings. Instead of going into all the reasons why I haven’t been inspired, I decided to write a little post about five things I’m looking forward to in the coming weeks and months.
1.Easter/Springtime! I love that the weather is finally starting to turn and Easter seems to be a perfect symbol of the upcoming season. We are out of the darkness of winter and ready to enjoy life again in the spring and summer. Time to put aside any negative thoughts and focus on the positive! I love the sunshine and really think it helps me cope when I am feeling down. Silly I know, but definitely true!
2.Shopping at the outlets! In mid-April, my mom, sis and I are heading west for a day of shopping at the outlets. Thanks to some of my fabulous friends at my birthday party, I still have gift card for two stores that can be used at the factory stores! Yippee, it’s like free money and bargains, what can be better?
3.My little sister’s bridal weekend!. I’ve been in the mist of planning a fabulous shower that has now been booked at a local restaurant. We will be having a yummy brunch buffet on a cute place located on the lake. I found some great invites online and just have to order them. Favors will be an adorable pen and pad combo. My sis loves pens and always writes her notes on the smallest pieces of paper possible it seems. LOL. These purse-size note pads are the perfect favor to say thanks to all her family and friends for showering her with love. Plans have also been confirmed for even better bachelorette party that will take place after the shower. We will be heading to a new nightclub/dance club at a nearby casino. I booked a couple of rooms at a nearby hotel and the whole night should be a blast. Can’t wait for this weekend in mid-May
4.Warm weather and my pool! We put an in-ground pool at our house in 2008. Last year, I don’t think I got to enjoy it as much as I would have liked with a busy work schedule and kind of cold summer. This summer, the heater will be working in the pool and I am going to make time for me. I love to relax and read a good book by the pool. This is one of the few luxuries we have and boy, I am going to enjoy every minute of it.
5.My sister’s big wedding day in June! Obviously, the big event in the next few months is my sister and her boy’s big day. I can’t wait to wear my pretty bridesmaid dress and dance the night away as we celebrate their love. Wedding are always special and this one will definitely be great.

It’s been a tough few weeks for me but I am trying to focus on the good stuff that is happening and all I have to look forward to. This is truly going to be a fabulous summer – if I let it! So let the good times begin!
