Great Week Of April 15th

I woke up on Sunday knowing that it was going to be a great week because it is the week of April 15th. It’s the week that only involves a three day work-week, new windows, good friends, less blue hairs and Culinary Fest. At my work the 16th of April is considered a holiday because I do work at an accounting firm and the 15th of April is such a big deal because of tax day. Normally my firm has a big party on the 15th and gives us the 16th off, but this year we are forgoing the party for the 17th off along with the 16th and that equals a four day weekend. That alone is a big plus for the week. On the 16th we are installing new windows in our house and I am super excited about that. Yes, I am a nerd and I don’t care because new windows are going to be fabulous in our house and it will help with our electric bill. Also on the 17th arrives our second set of guests for this month, Ross and Mike. Those two are always a good time and I am guaranteed a great weekend with them staying at our house. So, besides all the cleaning (which isn’t so much fun) they will definitely add to the four day weekend and the excitement of the new windows. Another bonus for the week of April 15th is that it marks the week where the blue hairs leave the state which means less slow and confused drivers on the freeway during my commute. I have already noticed a difference, on my drive home tonight, of the amount of cars on the road and it’s only Tuesday. This is great because it will cut my commute down by at least 10 – 15 minutes, but I will really notice the difference once ASU is out for the summer, and that should be in about three weeks. The last exciting event for the week is Culinary Fest and it’s the reason for Ross and Mike’s arrival. It is a good time, good people watching and a great time to get crazy. There are many stories that I could tell from the last three Fest’s, that we have attended, but I will not share them on a family friendly blog. I am just looking forward to another year of good times to add to the vault. That is my exciting week of April 15th.
