Spring is Springing

With football season being over for a few weeks now, it's really exciting to see signs of spring all around us.   Even living in Southern California, where the sun shines every day, spring opens its eyes a little more.  It's great to see the sun is starting to work longer hours again.  It's been long overdue to say the least.

I'm glad to see that the weather in Chicagoland is becoming at least tolerable.  Hopefully winter won't throw one last punch at you guys back in the MW.

With warm weather of course comes warm weather clothes!  Starting tomorrow at work we get to wear our desert camis with the sleeves rolled up, replacing our greens with sleeves down.  This is one of the greatest gifts spring could bring in my eyes.  I LOVE to wear deserts =)

With this being said, I took a little time to prepare my uniform for tomorrow.  This of course meaning I threw it in the wash with 5 other loads of laundry I had been meaning to do.  See, I used to take care of all my laundry on Sundays during the football games.  The timing was always spot on.

Throw in a load... 
switch at half... 
fold after game... repeat.  

Very routine, something I lack consistency with sometimes.
The Superbowl was in early February; needless to say, my laundry has been just a little backed up.

I also pulled out some of my softball gear.  We start playing games only two weeks from now!  Our unit team is finally starting to come together.  I'm personally hoping to play left-center; I wouldn't mind any outfield spot, but LC is definitely my preference.  I have to enjoy it now before I get pushed over to left next year when I come play with Jon and the gang!

Spring also brings spring break.  Spring break brings travel.  I'm glad to see a lot of my friends and family have been busy traveling the states and even the world!  Does anyone have any big plans for spring break or summer?

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy and look forward to this spring and life in general.  It's something that none of us should take for granted.  I was disheartened to hear this morning that a gentleman from my home town had passed away, at the age of twenty-four.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Frer Family.

Rest in Peace Matt.  You will be missed.
