One day closer to spring . . .

Can you feel it? Everyday the air seems warmer and the frozen ground unthaws a little more. The days are getting longer, the storms are getting shorter, and I don't have to scrap off my car so often.


On another note, my friend Anna and Casey had their first born child today.
Welcome to the world Sofia Ibez!

My List of Love

1. Life-all of the ups, downs, and unexpected turns. Isn't it fabulous that we can experience so much in one lifetime!
2. Spring-when the air begins to smell sweeter and there is a hint of warmth in the breeze.
3. Summer-short shorts, sandles, and sun burns. And most of all, the wonderful memories that summer always seems to be puctuated with.
4. Fall-colors, colors, colors! There is nothing better than living in a kaleidescope of color!
5. My boyfriend-he is super great. I can never wait to see what adventures we can add to our memory book.
6. Forever best friends-Kayla, you are the best friend I could ever have and I am lucky that our friendship just keeps going.
7. The golden hour-that time of day when the setting sunlight peers through the blinds and fills the room with most amazing warmth and glow! If I am lucky enough to see that time of day, my window and curtain will be wide open to let in the sun for those precious moments.
8. Family-I have a pretty great one, wouldn't trade them for the world.
9. Heartbreak-it's a hard thing to love but I appreciate every heartbreak that I've endured. The lessons learned have been invaluable.
10. Puppies-wouldn't this world be a terrible place if there were no puppies in it?

Just a fun look back one year ago, this is a photo I took on an afternoon walk on February 14, 2010.
