{Happy Spring!}

so, as of last night, it is officially Spring, and this makes me very happy.
in honor of my favorite season,
i thought i'd share a guest post i recently wrote for the lovely Olivia of For Me.
♥♥♥

after a seemingly endless, brutally cold Michigan winter
(this one has been especially unkind),
it is the most glorious thing to once again feel the warm sun on my face,
and to watch new life spring up around me.. to see green again.
it is a beautiful reminder to me of the new life we have in Christ,
and how he is constantly re-creating us.

there are so many things about spring that i am pumped about.
i thought i'd share a few of the front-runners.

{1} flowers!
they make me ridiculously happy. most especially cherry blossoms and peonies.

{2} farmers' market.
fresh fruit + fresh veggies + fresh bread + fresh pasta + fresh flowers...
within walking distance from our house = pure bliss.

{3} flats. 
because i am so. sick. of wearing winter boots. and socks.

{4} lemon bars.
creamy meyer lemon crumb bars to be exact.

{5} long walks & bike rides.
especially at the park with my hubby & our cockapoo magglio.

We got married on Memorial Day weekend, too! This year will mark 9 years for us, so hard to believe - time flies when you are having fun, just like they say!
