What's Up Wednesday: March Edition

Happy Wednesday! Is it just me, or does the week after a holiday always seem to last forever?! Boo! That's okay though because we had a great Easter weekend, and I'm really excited for April to get here!

Since it's the last Wednesday of the month, I am linking up with Mel, Sheaffer, and Shay for What's Up Wednesday!

What We're Eating This Week

My version of the breakfast pizza

I wanted to try something new for our breakfast Easter morning, and I saw on Amber's blog that she was making this breakfast pizza. It looked delicious, and I thought it would be something that Johnathon would love! I added one more egg than the recipe called for so that every piece would have an egg, and it was a huge hit! Even Hadley got in on the pizza action, and she wasn't complaining! 

What I'm Reminiscing About

Spring Break Musicfest 2014

This week is Spring Break on Kwaj, and that has me reminiscing about the Kwaj Spring Break Music Fest! Last year we had just gotten back on island with Hadley so we didn't end up going, but we went the first year we were on island, and it was so much fun! It's an island wide party at the beach with music, games, and a big tent where people enter their home brew beers for a taste testing competition! Hopefully we get to make an appearance there this year!

What I'm Loving

I'm honestly surprised it's taken me this long to talk about my favorite perfume ever!!! I have the hardest time finding perfumes that smell good on me. The fruity ones always change smells once they are on me, and floral smells make me sneeze! I was on a quest several years ago to find a warm, fruity, spicy kind of smell when I came across Versace Crystal Noir. I have the hardest time describing what it smells like, but the website says it has plum, amber, cedar, and gardenia in it. All I know is that I've never smelled another perfume like it, and I get complements on it a lot! Try it out...it smells delicious!

 

What We've Been Up To

We celebrated Easter this past weekend with our Kwaj family! We had a potluck at the Country Club and it was delicious! There were babies running around everywhere, delicious food and drinks, and it was a perfect Easter spent among friends! I'll blog about our Easter weekend tomorrow, but it was a great weekend, and I feel like we redeemed ourselves from our Easter last year! :)

 

What I'm Dreading

Johnathon is going to have to go off island in a month or two to have another surgery on his knee. He is still having some pain from when he tore his ACL almost two years ago, so they want to do an exploratory surgery to see if they can find the cause of the pain. Surgery is bad enough, but Johnathon has to fly all the way to Honolulu to have it done, which means at least a week of him being gone. It also means he has to recover from surgery in a hotel room, which isn't as fun as it may sound. We are both read for his knee to be fixed!
 

What I'm Working On

Becoming a morning person. This is not a skill I come by naturally, but I've come to realize what a crucial thing waking up early can be. Specifically, going to the gym in the mornings. I've been in denial for awhile now about the fact that the only free time I have to workout is in the mornings. I tried working out in the evenings, but I usually end up being too tired, and it's also the time I get to spend with Johnathon. I'm with Hadley during the day, SO...morning gym time it is. I'm not going to say that I love it, but one week in, and it hasn't been as terrible as I thought it would be.  

 

What I'm Excited About

If anyone else watches Game of Thrones, then you understand my feelings of excitement and dread for Game of Thrones Season 6! I love Game of Thrones, but the show has a knack for killing off some of my favorite characters! Thus, each season I watch with my eyes covered because I'm scared of which character won't live to see season 7! With that said I'm so excited, and I hate that I have to wait a whole year between seasons!

What I'm Watching/Reading

Johnathon has only seen the Harry Potter movies, but he's never read the books!! I couldn't believe it either! Call it nerdy, but we read them together every night before bed, and it's been such a fun end to our days. We are just finishing up the fifth book, so we only have two more to go! In addition to Harry Potter, I've been considering reading this book, but it looks ridiculously depressing, and I don't do depressing...

Has anyone read it, yet?! Is it worth the emotional roller coaster?! 

What I'm Listening To

Johnathon and I were getting our 90's jams on this weekend, and it turns out Hadley is a big fan! She was getting her groove on to everything from Hootie and the Blowfish, to Everclear, to Blackstreet! It was awesome, and I'm glad Hadley enjoys the tunes of her parents youth!

 

What I'm Wearing

Easter marked the first occasion I've had to get "dressed up" in a long while!  My chambray top is an Anthropologie find from several years ago, the skirt is from Francesca's (also several years ago), and the shoes are Steve Madden. I got them at Nordstroms last Fall for my brother in law's wedding, and I've been looking for a chance to wear them since!

 

What I'm Doing This Weekend

Spring Break Music Fest!!! Other than that, just hanging out with our little family!

 

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month 

My birthday is next month! Several of my girlfriends and I have birthdays about a week apart, so for the second year in a row we have decided to have a joint party! This year we are going rogue and hosting a murder mystery dinner party! I have seen pictures of these kind of parties and always thought they looked like fun! Hopefully everyone else attending thinks it's fun too because we are forcing them to play along! ;)

 

What Else is New? 

Hadley is officially a walking machine! She started taking steps at the beginning of the month, and now she's walking about 70% of the time. She still cheats and crawls when she wants to get somewhere fast, but I can't believe how much she has taken off in the last month! I'm determined to catch it on video soon!
