The last of the snow finally melted this week and it’s beginning to feel like spring. Ian and I decided to forgo the gym and ride our bikes and run on the nature trail by our house. It’s surprising what a bit of fresh air and sunlight can do for your mood! I felt a boost in energy and ended my day feeling productive and satisfied. I hope this feeling lasts through the weekend so Ian and I can cross off a few items on our ever-growing to-do list.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The passing of a family member takes time to process. Over the weekend, my uncle passed away after a long battle with cancer. We knew this day was inevitable, but the news still came as a shock. With the funeral falling on a Wednesday, I had the joy of talking with HR on how to take funeral leave. When dealing with the loss of a loved one, it is quite difficult to read the callus policies of corporate America. Thankfully, they found it in their hearts to give me one day to travel back home for the funeral even though the policy stated otherwise. I was overwhelmed by the attendance at my uncle’s funeral and it made celebrating his life rather than morning his loss a little bit easier.

Over the weekend Ian and I traveled back to Madison for my first wedding dress fitting and to cheer on the Badgers in their Final Four game (let’s not discuss the outcome.) I was excited to see my dress again, but only being 5’3″ I was positive the dress would need major hemming. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprise when it fit like a glove. During my appointment I was able to grab a few sneak peaks at Ian’s attire for the day. They always say  the reality of your wedding will sink in when you find the dress, but that wasn’t my case. It was when I stole a few glances of Ian in his suite. I can’t wait to make him my husband.

Here are a few glimpses of our lives this week. I hope you all have a great weekend!
