Springtime = Happiness

What a great day. I got out of my practicum at 9am because my supervisor had to leave. So I have the whole day to enjoy and do a some job hunting. The porch door is open and I'm looking at my pretty flowers while listening to the birds chirp and making some phone calls...

Here are my pretty "Yay you passed Praxis!!" flowers. I don't know why, but fresh flowers always make a place happier (especially a small apartment in the middle of this big city).

My gorgeous purple tulips
(I'm turning into my mother...these are her favorites)

Also, Brandon took me to pick out some plants for our little porch...

The hanging plants are my very favorites


Yay- it's finally spring time!!!

It's been sooo pretty here. The weather is just absolutely perfect. We take Bailey on walks almost every night now. We were talking last night about how happy life is when it doesn't get dark till late. Brandon and I are both warm-weather people (thank goodness). When those winter months hit, it's like depression around here. So bring on the beautiful summer!!!!!

Here are some of my favorite things about springtime:
1. Leaving the porch door open so we can hear the pretty birds and feel the warm breeze.
2. Three sets of baby ducks at the lake- they don't like Bailey very much though :)
3. Brandon gets home and we still have like three hours of daylight to get outside.
4. No more bulky cardigans and shivering cold times when I didn't dress warm enough. I love putting away the sweaters and scarves.
5. Sleeping with the fan on.
6. New blooms, new life, new beginnings.
7. Eating outside at restaurants where you can just sit and enjoy.
8. Getting rid of my ghastly white skin of winter months.
9. Driving with the windows down, especially when Bailey is with me.
10. Ice cream!!!!!!! (Ok I'll be honest-- that's year 'round, but DEFINITELY more enjoyable when it's warm!)
