Saturday was pretty much the best day so far this year to go downtown and walk around. Rob and I had a delicious lunch of spring rolls and Pad Thai and crossed the street to Mill Mountain so I could get an iced tea. It was sixty degrees and sunny, definitely a nice change for Rob, who has been enduring the end of a Minnesota winter; and the sweet promise of more warm days to come for me, who's just ready for the change in season.

Also, I'm being very intentional about not curling my hair so often. I might like it.

It's weird to see Rob only once every three weeks. 

Granted, this month we'll see each other two more times, but that doesn't make these weekends any less precious.

  

Happy Friday! Less than two weeks until spring!

[This is so not a favorite. But it works, and I've been battling a sore throat all week.]
