Hello/Goodbye! Can You Believe It's March?

This past month has been full of complete 5-day weeks back to school after a January of four day weeks because of snow days. It has been, for some unbeknownst reason to me, long and tiring (and filled with illness and headaches), and I am so ready for March. I even wore some bright green, spring-like eye make-up for a night out with my sissy, our friend Nitija, and her husband Prashanta to get ready for spring. So fun :)

Today I'm linking up with Allison over at a Nestful of Love for her Hello/Goodbye link-up at the beginning of each month. Here are some things that I am looking forward to this month and a few things I'm saying good-bye to as well...

Hello March, Goodbye February!

Hello feeling less tired and having more energy.

Goodbye tiredness and headaches (hopefully!)

Hello super-fun date nights. Goodbye snow and cold keeping us from going out!

We bid on a fun date night at a fundraiser for Bjorn's school and won it last Friday. We're going to Crave Saturday night to eat and maybe to the Esquire for a movie :)

Hello Insurgent, Goodbye Divergent!

Hello Last Trimester of the School Year!

Hello Spring Break! One week of hanging out, but without Bjorn :(

Hello Roller Girls!

Hello hanging out more with these two crazies!

Hello zoo and bubble tea! Goodbye being stuck indoors! We have a zoo pass this year! Yay!

Hello finding some new great restaurants. Goodbye Cumin! I'll miss you! I didn't know you closed!

Hello Slantbox! I'm glad you're back!!

And Jameson, I'm glad you're feeling better!!

Sign-ups end tonight for teachers and people in teaching related positions at 11:59 p.m.

What are you saying Hello and Goodbye to this month?

Love and happiness <3 Holly

Hello-Goodbye

Tonight I'm linking up with sweet Allison at a Nestful of Love for her Hello/Goodbye Link up for the month of February. 

January was a weird month: we had a bunch of snow days and some 2 hour delays. I feel like my teaching schedule is all wack-a-doo. I know my students feel it too. 

I started some new headache medication that has made me feel super exhausted and just kind of all out blah most of the month. It left me out-of-sorts; I kind of still feel that way. And it left me having to find a new neurologist to continue my migraine journey with because the doctor I had and loved left the practice she was with for a new and exciting adventure in her career.  

It was overall just a crazy month, and I am ready to get back into a sense of normalcy. I did, however, feel a little productive this month with some things I've gotten accomplished--some little things, mind you, but I am proud of myself for doing some small things that made me feel great! It's always the little things. 

So here are some things that I'll be saying Hello and Goodbye to this month...
