After potting my plants over the weekend, I was disappointed to have to bring them inside after the temperature dipped. Why won’t spring just get here already?! With the delay of warmer weather, I was caught off guard when I received a reminder to post our wedding invites. I can’t believe  it’s only three months away! Ian and I were in a frenzy scheduling our final round of meetings early this week, so we hope to enjoy some down time over the next few days. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Milwaukee Date Night

Milwaukee Date Night | Beauty and Blooms

It’s rare Ian and I have a free weekend, therefore we took full advantage of our meeting-free Saturday and drove to Milwaukee. I was able to sneak in a bit of shopping between brewery tours and a romantic dinner in the Third Ward. While it was a short trip, I loved exploring the city where Ian grew up.

One of the downsides of Ian’s job is travel. At the drop of a hat he can be rushing off to the airport, leaving me behind for an unknown period of time. I am someone who likes order and routines, so this new lifestyle has been a hard adjustment. After spending last week in Texas I was foolish enough to think that I would have him home this week, but as life would have it, he was called away on another assignment. This has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I have been forced to exert my independence and enjoy my  alone time. While I don’t mind grabbing drinks with the girls after work or hitting the gym solo, I can’t deny that I miss having my best friend around.
