Rainy Days In Raleigh

Rainy days are the the perfect excuse...

to wear comfy shoes,

drink your favorite drink, 

and wear your brand new sweatshirt.

I got myself an "I heart Raleigh" sweatshirt.

I try to budget my money...

and this took up almost a whole month's worth.

But it was totally worth it. 

I said last year, "This time next year, I'll be back in North Carolina."

But then I met Brad, 

and that crazy thing called love has kept me here.

So while I can't be in North Carolina,

I can snuggle up in my North Carolina hoodie. 

Springtime in DC

After our trip to the Outer Banks we explored Raleigh for a bit.

I am so in love with this city.

This is the LDS Temple. Beautiful.

I love spring time.

Next we explored the Oakwood Cemetery,

One of my favorite places here in North Carolina.

I even found a four leaf clover. (more on that later) 

We explored the cemetery for a while. 

Everyone seemed interested except poor Seth.

The next day we headed out to Washington DC

Seth didn't care for Washington DC at all. 

Happy camper?

Oh, how I love my new brother....

Washington DC is so amazing.

I wish we had more time there.

We went to a few museums.

I could have spent days in each museum...

But we only had a few hours to go to them before they closed.

We were only able to spend a day and a half in Washington DC.

We headed back late that night and came home to a very distraught canine.

We had to leave him over night. I felt bad and really didn't want to but we didn't have a choice.

We came in at 3 in the morning to a very excited puppy friend.

I held him in my arms giving him kisses as he hyperventilated and whined with excitement.

It feels good to be loved.

Tomorrow we move.

Are we packed?

Nope.

I just don't want to go.
