You know...

1. You know you are at a New Jersey lacrosse team pasta dinner when there is a pile of tennis shoes at the door and plenty of Penne Vodka on the table. (My team makes fun of me for saying tennis shoes - they are sneakers here).

2. You know you don't clean out your couch often enough when you find your dad's reading glasses from his October visit. You also know that reading glasses aren't your best look but you text your dad this picture anyways.

2. You know Donna is in town when you get to go to your favorite Greek restaurant and when Paul is being goofy and happier than ever with that mom of his.

4. You know it's conference weekend when you go on a tow path bike ride with friends during half time. And you know the church is getting hip when it is encouraging hashtags.
#LDSconf all the way!

5. You know you are the fifth wheel on this outing because your husband goes to Pennsylvania and you can't because of lacrosse but you don't care because you really enjoy the company of these friends, plus baby Kate was my 6th wheel friend.

6. You know you can't wait for your June trip to Utah when you facetime with this week old little beauty of a boy and the rest of your family.

 

6. You know Spring is late this year when the pretty Magnolia trees that were in full bloom on March 20th last year are just barely starting to pretend that they might bloom soon, but since today is a high of 70 (SEVENTY!) you hold onto the hope that today is the day that Spring will finally be here.

 

7. You know it's your mom's birthday today because the calendar is telling you April 8th! I love this lady and am so glad we get to celebrate her. Love you mom!
