Spring Forward!!

It's that time of the year!! We lose an hour of sleep, however we gain an hour of daylight!!

It didn't really make that much of an impact on me last night. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed despite the fact I lost an hour of my beauty sleep. :) AND... I was suffering from insomnia yet again so I didn't get to sleep until well after 2 a.m. Ugh.

With Spring, I get to look forward to the pretty, beautiful flowers, nice Spring colors, and my stupid, ugly, darn, dumb ALLERGIES!!! And I get them really bad! Really bad where my eyes are constantly red and puffy; my nose leaks all the time.

This is what I look like:

Despite the fact that during the Spring/Summer, I'm always sniffling and sneezing, etc., I'm so looking forward to the next several months!! We just had Brian's best friend come visit for a week from Minnesota and in about a month Brian's brother and sister-in-law will be coming from Minnesota for a week as well! We have so many fun things planned, I'm so excited!!!

Ironstone Vineyards is one place I've never been to and am excited to be going to when they come out. Here are a few pictures from their webiste:

It's so beautiful there! They also have a picnic area down by the lake where I can't wait to have a nice little lunch! :)

Another place we're going to go for sure is Shadowbrook Restaurant. 

It's one of my favorite restaurants ever!  Brian's brother is going to be treating us for our one year anniversary a week early and this is the restaurant he chose.  He knows it's my favorite!  Here are several pictures from their website:

And since we're going to be there on a Friday night, check out their Happy Hour Specials:

Here are few pictures of Yosemite; we may take a trip up there as well:

Happy Sunday everyone!!  :)
