6 guitars, 3 days off, and 1 beer festival.

This has been a glorious family day weekend!

This time of the year, when the cold encroaches and seeps right inside your (cold! oh so cold!) bones, a little bit of down time goes a really long way. 

I've been trying to get rid of an irritating cold for what seems like ages, and this weekend seems to have almost kicked it. It's also been nice to just chill in and get in a few good runs this weekend. I am a homebody at heart. :)

We kicked off the weekend with a little v-day celebration. Derek and I are so awesome that we each got the other person flowers and a card. Dude has some writing skills! Romance high fives all around!

Guitar baby!

I also had a chance to test out my brand new, lovely yellow ukulele! So pretty! I've always wanted to learn how to play the ukulele, and in the spirit of 2013 being the year of doing things now, I finally picked one up. I was passing by the music store on the bus last week and just spur of the moment pulled the cord to stop. I was in and out of there in less than ten, and it was such a great feeling to just get things rolling. I've realized that I work best when I think less about things I know I want and just act. Thinking is great, but I know when I want things because I feel it and there's no doubt. So, I'm trying to push myself to be impulsive when it's really worth it.

And! Craft Beer Festival! We were lucky enough to swing by a local beer festival downtown with a few lovely friends. It was super fun to wander around and sample and chat! We totally would have stayed longer, but my feet froze. Like blocks of ice. 

But the maple cotton candy was worth it. Sooooo worth it.

All in all a lovely weekend so far. 

Now let's cross our fingers that this week is nice and easy.

Hah.
