So far May has been quite lovely:) Days spent primarily outside are always my absolute favorite and Saturday was one of those days. Johnny and I drove down to Kentucky to enjoy the beautiful weather hanging around my parents house. Not much was planned (which is always nice) and it evolved into a perfect day. Yes I know the Kentucky Derby was going on and yes we watched the race but promptly headed back out into the fresh air! Family, bonfire, drinks, fresh air and lots of laughter makes for quite the relaxing weekend! I hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend as much as we did!
Buddy made some margaritas for us in honor of Cinco de Mayo:)
I am pretty sure Mother Nature is enjoying teasing us with days that make us believe that spring weather is actually here but quickly follows with snow or a day in the 30s. However, it seems like maybe...just maybe the spring weather is here to stay! On Sunday I went home to Kentucky for a short visit because the weather was simply to beautiful to stay inside! I went to a cookout and all I could think of was how I didn't want to go back to my apartment and waste the rest of the day so I jumped in my Jeep and headed my parents house. I am so glad I did because it ended up being a really lovely afternoon/evening! My mom is doing so well getting around after her total knee surgery just a few weeks ago! She joined Tara and I outside to pick flowers, ride around in the golf cart, goof off, and go see grandma and grandpa next door:)
On Sunday Johnny and I decided to check out Wesselman nature area here in Evansville. We found it online when searching for outdoorsy stuff nearby to do in the upcoming spring weather. We discovered that it is a nice little hidden jewel that we will be visiting a lot in the upcoming months:) They have hiking trails, a loop to run on, canoeing, places for a picnic and a little recycle center. We took a short 20 minute hike to see what it was like and it was surprisingly peaceful considering it is so close to the expressway. Birds chirping and the smell of fresh air was a nice way to start a Sunday afternoon. We finished up with a 30 min jog. We are really looking forward to trying out the canoeing that they offer!
Hello! My name is Tia (my friends call me T). A few things you should know about me: I'm a nurse, runner, wanna be cook, thrift finds lover and insanely in love newlywed.

Between staying in touch with my old life and evolving into my new life I am enjoyning every moment, almost :) My goal is to make each day a productive or creative day, whether I knit a hat, go for a run, read a good book, cook a yummy meal, find a pretty thrift treasure, create a new healthy snack the list goes on!
