We're Feeling 22

As of today we are FINALLY all 22 years old, which has us dancing like...

Michelle and Lil B turned 22 on January 25th #twinsies

Katie turned 22 on March 14th
Sarah turned 22 on March 29th

Clare turned 22 on March 30th
*TODAY, AH! Happy Birthday, Clare!

Katie has a confession. She thought Clare's birthday was on the 28th so she called and texted Clare a happy birthday message. Clare, being as sweet as she is, didn't correct Katie and thanked her. Once Katie realized she sent the birthday wishes TWO DAYS EARLY she texted Clare an apology message...

Because of our crazy schedules we haven't had much time to celebrate our birthdays. Michelle and Lil B were on vacation for their birthdays, Katie had student teaching and seminars all day, we went on the wine tour to celebrate Clare's, and we're having a girls night for Sarah's birthday.

Yay for everyone being 22!

St. Patrick's Day Celebrations

We know we're out of order since we posted our Easter/spring goals yesterday, but St. Patrick's Day was such a blast we wanted to give it its own post. So here it is!

St. Patrick's Day was on a Thursday this year and we didn't have much time to celebrate during the week. Plus, our city hosts the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on the Sunday closest to the 17th. So we decided to celebrate on March 20th. We had friends come over for breakfast and started indulging in jell-o shots (courtesy of Sarah), margarita jell-o shots (courtesy of Lil B's friend, Olivia), and vodka-soaked gummy bears (courtesy of Sarah's friends).

The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Sunny, in the 50s, and not a cloud in the sky. So many friends stopped over, hung out for a little bit, and met up with the #25Hoes during the day. Here are some pics of our celebration!

Michael really just wanted to be on the blog

How cute are these babes?

Sarah's car was a popular prop to pose with

After the parade we came back to the house and found out Clare had ordered two sheet pizzas! Wow! Unfortunately someone was extra hungry and the second sheet pizza went missing. After a nap and a movie, we cleaned up the house. Our basement has never looked worse. Those Irish Car Bombs were everywhere and we ended up throwing out a card table because it was that gross. We also collected about $10 worth of recyclables and gave the kitchen floor a good scrub. It definitely needed it. Like, a lot. Can you see why St. Pat's Day need it's own post??

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter, friends!

We hope everyone enjoys all the chocolate and the day with their family! Surprisingly we have wonderful, sunny weather up here so we'll be enjoying the weather all day. Instead of sharing our favorite Easter traditions we decided to share our spring goals...

Sarah: Get in to grad school and lose weight by eating properly (not by not eating-Michelle will take note of this!)

Lil B: Go to at least one more house party, get on honor roll, get to the top of either Dugan or Churchill Tower, meet her fundraising goal for Relay for Life, go out to dinner with all the roomies since it's been forever, and have a home cooked, multiple course meal with all the roomies

Michelle: Make out with a really hot guy (or multiple), go on adventures, and enjoy nature/warm weather/fresh air

Katie: Survive her second student teaching placement, use all of her Griff Bucks (she currently has $720 left), and go to yoga at least once a week

Clare: Continue exercising post-retirement, successfully perform her song in sign language, and finish One Tree Hill on Netflix

Xoxo,
