Reasons to love and ways to enjoy Spring...

Noticing that the once barren and lifeless trees and flowers and plants are now back and beaming with bold, bright, beautiful color.
The smell of your house after leaving the windows open
That wonderful not-too-hot, not-too-cold feeling outside.
Slapping on your favorite pair of sunglasses and rocking your first pair of flip flops for the year (whichever pair you chose for the day, because you of course own a pair in every color and shade), and getting used to the way they feel again.
Picnics in the park, and some frisbee and a walk to burn the calories.
The way that sitting in the grass on a blanket outside and enjoying the sunshine makes school work a -little- bit better.
Driving in the gorgeous weather, sunroof open/top down, with your favorite Spring weather cd playing.
Playing outside with the dog.
A new Spring wardrobe??
Not even going to lie, SPRING CLEANING. Please tell me you don't feel happy putting on your favorite music and opening the windows and getting things clean and organized? I think that's one of my life's natural highs.
The perfect weather for Ice cream/frozen yogurt trips (a MUST!!)
Not only for ice cream trips but also road trips! (need I remind you: sunroof open/top down, favorite music, favorite pair of sunglasses!!)

Most of all, how the world is in a naturally wonderful and happy mood on the perfect spring day! The Lord's creation is gorgeous. :)


Today is one of those days. Enjoy it!!!!


And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season’s change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring

Blog savvy, not so blog savvy?

CONFESSION: I am SO self conscious about my blogging! I always feel like my blog posts are uninteresting and/or don't flow very well. Then I feel self conscious about being self conscious because I know no one enjoys hearing someones complaints about how uninteresting they are. It's a never ending cycle. I am, however, open to the possibility that i am not alone in this dilemma. I just hope if anyone is actually keeping up with this, that they are enjoying the random tidbits of life that I share every now and then. :)

I leave you on this half sunny and beautiful half cloudy and rainy Saturday with a little sample of mine and Marcus' text message conversation that makes me blush. Be warned, cuteness will ensue.


Me: "And I am boooored and want to enjoy sunshine
Me: with you might I add
Marcus: It's cloudy over here. Probably bc you're at work :aint no sunshine when ur gone, ain't no sunshine when ur away, aint no sunshine when ur gone & ur always away too long anytime u go away:

I am quite privileged to have a sweet best friend and love that breaks into song. :)
