Wow! This week really flew by and I can't believe it's officially May. That means there's only 40 more days left of school... but who's counting?! ;-) This is going to be one of my most favorite High Five For Fridays... keep reading and you'll understand why!
1. I'm going to be an AUNT! This was the hardest secret to keep for almost 2 weeks, especially since I love sharing exciting stuff on our blog. My sister surprised us on Easter and announced that she's pregnant! Of course, she told us in the most cutest way ever. Remember that big Easter Egg Hunt I was telling you about? (Go Team Blue!) After our hunt was over, my sister gave each of us a GIANT egg to open and inside was a pacifier attached to a ribbon saying that Baby D would be born in November, along with a sonogram picture. We squealed with excitement and it was one of the best moments ever. We are SO EXCITED! This is the first grandchild for my parents! Expect to see A LOT of baby shower plans rolling around on the blog soon!
2. Lunch with my mom and sister. I love our lunch dates and this one was super special because it was our first girls lunch with baby...and all baby talk! My mom bought special gifts for Rosie- and she couldn't leave me out, so she shared some special gifts with me too! I'll be blogging about them soon!

3. I completed my 30 Day April Photo Challenge. It was A LOT of fun, but... sometimes it was tricky (what should I take a photo of today?!), sometimes I'd forget until I was nice and cozy in bed, and sometimes I felt like I wasn't capturing the best photo ever, even though I tried hard. Check out my photos by clicking our Instagram icon in the top right corner! I would totally do the challenge again and I will! I'm thinking this summer would be fun - July or August. Take part in it with me! Search #fmsphotoaday for more information!
4. The best exercise weather happened on May 1st. May has blessed us with gorgeous weather so far. It was 70 degrees on May 1st! I couldn't wait to get home on Thursday to spend an afternoon outside exercising. It was unbelievably gorgeous... a beautiful Spring breeze, blue skies with big puffy clouds, the smell of blooming trees and flowers. Ah, just amazing. I wanted to stay outside all night long. I can't wait for summer.
5. Finally seeing green on the trees. I love living in the tri-state area, simply because of the season changes. We're finally beginning to see the subtle changes of Spring. The northeast experienced a brutal winter and it still hasn't left us completely. We had many cold days in April and many that were rainy. The month of April ended on a very rainy note. As I travel up and down the highway on my commute to work, I always look out for signs of Spring. Lately, I've been noticing the change in leaves on the trees. They're slowly starting to bloom up here. Just one of the small things that I'm enjoying lately. :-)
