Spring in Kentucky

I am happy it is FINALLY Spring for several reasons. Keeneland, dogwood tree's, warmer weather, Derby parties,flip flops, 26 days of work left AND I want to wear a dress that looks like this

from my favorite store in the entire world (Lilly Pulitzer.) The new summer collection just came out and it is true Lilly fashion with bright colors and bows. I wish I had this on right now sitting poolside at a party.Or with a cute hat at the Derby. Much better than my work outfit I am wearing now. Khaki pants with finger paint and dirt! 

Green Thumb

Craig and I decided that we want to start a garden at his house. I will keep you updated on our green thumb abilities. When I went to Charleston I was inspired by all the beautiful gardens and homes. I would like our garden to look like this
   or this

High aspirations I know. I will be happy if we

 can actually plant a flower and keep it alive!

Jenna's Brunch

Saturday we had a brunch for Jenna. What could be better than yummy food, Keeneland Spring Meet and my best friends?Megan and I had so much fun planning the shower. We really think we should quit teaching and become party planners/caterers!! We made smoked salmon bagels, country ham biscuts, fruit salad, heart shaped pimento cheese sandwiches, mini cheesecake bites and more!! We surprised her with a monogrammed beach bag filled with presents. 

                                                                                                                                                                         

We had the best time! Wish we all lived in the same city.
