Happy Tuesday, friends! Did you all have a relaxing three day weekend?

My weekend was nice, but not very relaxing, because the hubster and I moved into our new house! But I’m not complaining about the lack of down time, as I’ve been counting down the days for this past weekend for-evvvver. We officially closed on our house last Friday, so were up bright and early moving on Saturday.

We’ve got tons of space, a big basement, a gorgeous kitchen with an island, and nice backyard…I could go on and on, but I’ll stop now!

Anyways, now that Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, I’m really getting the itch for summer! In my mind, it’s officially summer, even though it’s still technically spring. The weather is warm, schools are out for the next few months, and I’m dreaming of cold drinks and warm nights spent outside.

And in between my thoughts of summer fun comes some delicious produce. I love visiting farmer’s markets during the the warm months, and I often stock up on lots of asparagus. And since it’s a favorite of the hubster and I, we eat it quite often.
