It's Like A Heat Wave

Finally. A break from the bitter cold. The snow started to melt this past week, and we finally had temps in the 40's this weekend. It's been glorious, really gross and melty, but glorious.

MLK Day: More than ever, MLK day was relevant and a day to remember the importance of unity. I LOVED seeing what people had to post, but the one below was one of my favorites.

Damon's 30th: So we've entered the time of life where all of our friends are turning 30. Weird. Not in a bad way. Just in a way that makes me pause and realized that I'm a lot closer to 30 than I am to 20. But 30th birthday parties are way better than 20...the food is better, people aren't as concerned about impressing each other, and no one bats an eye when you want to be in bed by 10pm.

Emily arranged for Damon to be surprised by 60 of his family and friends at their house in Columbus. After the party we went to dinner with Drew and Bryn at Cheeseburger in Paradise. It was hilarious and the margs are $1.99-enough said. Thankful to keep in touch with good friends from Vincennes 5 years later.

The Outdoors: Since it was finally warm enough to go outside without your face falling off, we took advantage and went on a short hike at Eagle Creek before church on Saturday. Even in the de-frost, Eagle Creek is beautiful...and honestly, it was just good to be in the outdoors breathing fresh air.

Sunday In B-town: We met up with Danny and Emily and most of the fam in Bloomington on Sunday for brunch. With the warmer weather, we were able to roam around campus and Danny got to show up where he had most of his classes and told us more than one funny college story. Thankful for family, delicious eggs benedict, warm weather(40 F), and quirky towns like Bloomington.
