Fresh

Does anyone else like flipping the page to a brand new month in their calendar? I love it! Its unmarked. Its clean. Its a fresh start! There is just something so sweet about looking at the next month and wondering what God is going to do.

I love seeing "March" because its SUPPOSED to bring in Spring weather. That is yet to be determined, but either way it gives me hope that warm weather is just around the corner. It also brings March Madness...which I LOVE! My team will not be going to the NCAA tournament this year, but I still love filling out my bracket and keeping up with the Big Dance! :)

We'll be taking our first vacation of the year in less than two weeks! We are heading for Ft. Worth for a mini-vacation. I'm super excited!!!! I just love it there. I was there last year with my best friend for our Annual Girls Trip. And, Ken and I went there this last summer on our way back to OK from Austin and San Antonio (you can read about it here, here, and here). He fell in love with it like I did and we are going back! This time, I'm taking him on the train, like Michelle and I did. He's never been on a passenger train, but has always wanted to go. I'm just thankful for the little get-away we are going to have.

And last, but certainly not least, I love March b/c it brings Easter Candy!!!!!! Well, the end of February REALLY brings Easter candy, but March is just so much closer to Easter. :) I have already had my fair share of Cadbury Eggs and Reese's Eggs....but I will continue to buy them b/c they are only here once a year!

One last thing I want to post is this little craft project I did a few weeks ago. I found the idea here. It was a little intimidating b/c there weren't a lot of directions. I found this tutorial which helped me a little more. I didn't color the edges, but her directions on where to glue the filters helped me get started. The only think I did differently was I folded the filters in quarters like the first tutorial showed. My next mission is to make a brown one, like here, but I'm having a hard time finding the brown coffee filters. If I can't find them, I think I'll color the edges brown and use the white ones.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you are anxiously awaiting Spring!
