Around Here: April

Well, it is already April, the first quarter of the year is over, and it finally feels like spring with warmer temperatures and the blossoming trees — that is the best part of winter — knowing spring will eventually come.  Below are some items that have occurred around here in April, a busy month!

-continuing to work diligently to finish all of my photo shoots for my photography project, which should be completed by the end of June 2015!  So far, this month, I have photographed 25 dogs.

-working hard editing images for my long-term photography project, and I am almost done completing a draft of the first part of the project.

-a bit behind in my reading this month, partly due to many photo shoots and a lot of editing.  I do, however, have a large stack of books waiting for me on my nightstand!

-took excursions to Pennsylvania and Princeton!

-loving my yoga class and teacher!

-making breakfasts together on the weekends with Doug.

-finished watching a new Netflix series entitled, Bloodline.  This is a good one!

-finished watching Secrets & Lies on Netfilx — so far this is pretty good!

-working on finishing the final room in our house along with filling in the final bare walls!  We have been in our home for a year and a half now, and we are finally almost decorated — my goal is to finish everything up by the end of the summer, early fall.

-we set out our new outdoor furniture and we love having the ability to sit outside, which is so serene and peaceful, especially in the evenings — we love watching the sun set, and Victory loves to be outside with us!  Doug is going to help me put up our new deck lights this weekend!

-this past weekend we got our mulching and planting done!  Yay!  Our home officially feels like it is ready to welcome beautiful weather!

-having date nights with Doug!

-taking Victory on more outings since the weather has been so nice!

-giving Victory a bath, a monthly ritural — not her favorite thing to do — but she looks and feels so great when she is all bathed and groomed!

Happy Wednesday!
