Say it with me: T – G – I – F!

Who else felt like this was the longest week ever? No use in harping on the downs, let’s just say, I’m glad it’s over! I’m heading to UVA this weekend to hang out with my dear friend Jackie before her graduation from law school next month, and to celebrate three of my best gals running the Charlottesville Half Marathon! We’re planning on hitting up Pippin Hill, and I couldn’t be more excited to get back to one of my favorite Virginia wineries.

April is one of my favorite months, and I have a lot of exciting stuff on the horizon this spring—a blogger happy hour with Monica and Ashlee, a trip to Fort Lauderdale in May to visit some cousins, and the end of the last semester when I have two classes. I’m only take one class in the summer, and then I just have my Capstone project in the fall. December cannot come soon enough!

Spring weather also means I pretty much listen to country music non-stop. I’ve got Luke Bryan and Zac Brown Band concerts on my summer calendar, but would love to know what country artists and songs you’re loving lately! I need some new music for my drive later today.

Hope you all have a great weekend! x
