So here it is, five days into April. I cannot believe how time speeds along so fast! I haven't been the best blogger- sorry! My days fly by at work, I get home, make dinner, do a few chores, try to exercise, pack the next days lunches, and then its usually time for bed. Every so often Ricky and I watch a movie or show over Netflix, but most often bed time comes much quicker then we'd like. Although there are never enough hours in the day, I am blessed beyond belief- I love my job and get to work with my husband, we have a beautiful house to come home to, and a very comfy bed for a good night's rest.
A few days ago we got back from a (much needed) vacay to Palm Springs, California. We had been working a lot of overtime the last few months and things have consistently been go, go, go. The trip was perfect timing.
As a child, Palm Springs was a frequent place my family would vacation so it holds a special place in my heart. I love the unique colors, the laid-back feel, and the intense desert heat- it made me so happy to be there with Ricky and for him to experience the place I love oh-so-much. We relaxed and explored. Although it was hard to leave the sunshine, we boarded the plane feeling energized and refreshed.
Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.
