Have you missed me? Well, I bet all 4 of you who read this maybe have missed me. Where have I been? Well, remember my last post about thank you notes? THEY ARE DONE! I met the deadline of 3 months except for a few stragglers for which I had to find addresses. All my free moments for the last few weeks were filled with thank-you-note-writing. Wow, what a relief! Now, I can get back to real life without that long list hanging over my head!

This past weekend marks our 3rd month of married life, and my husband celebrated with a new haircut. If you didn't already know this, the whole reason I got the name LOCKSLIE is because of my husband. Have you ever called someone by a nickname so long that you don't even remember their real name? Well, that's what it's like with LOCKS. That's what all his friends (and his friends' parents) call him. The minister even called us Locks & Lockslie during our wedding ceremony. As one friend once told him, "Even your mother will call you Locks." That is, until he got a new haircut. Now some are jokingly referring to him as BUZZ instead. He hates the new name, but is loving the new haircut. I'm adjusting to it slowly.

We are excited about the next few months as the weather warms up, we are looking forward to lots of cooking out, baseball, time at the beach, and there might be one of these in our near future, too! (a goldendoodle puppy!)




Precious, right? Hopefully we'll be getting a puppy sometime during the summer months. So right now I promised to get to work on remembering to put away my shoes (so they won't get chewed) and finishing up a few things around the house.

So needless to say, spring has sprung, and we have some projects to get done inside the house (painting, finishing the daunting task of unpacking and finding a place for all our wedding gifts) and outside the house (painting the trim, painting the shed we built last fall, planting flower beds, and fighting the never-ending war of the weeds!) Can you envision my "honey-do" list growing? Spring has always been a favorite season for me, and after this long cold winter, I couldn't be more ready for it!

What are you doing this Spring?

Love,
Lockslie
