Two years ago!

(We'd been dating for two and a half months!)

Hello!!! Happy first day of spring! Are you still reading? Is this thing on? Oh goodness gracious, I know I've been waaaaaay MIA around here. It's March now...and warm days are just around the corner! Thank goodness.

We've had a wonderful, action-packed winter. Our first married winter! I was telling a friend this morning that my winters used to be relatively quiet and relaxing and introspective. The stay-indoors-and-hibernate kind. Somehow this past winter ended up being anything but that! Hah! But, I'm grateful for the many activities we had going on...the trips to visit friends...the chance to host visiting friends...double dates with siblings...Super Bowl parties...basketball games...church activities...engagement parties...birthday brunches...weddings...and dog training! It's been a full winter. :)

We did manage to have a few of those hibernation days--mostly centered around the Olympics. Don't you love the winter Olympics? They've always been my favorite. A few weeks ago I introduced Andrew to Friday Night Lights...he is hooked! We're speeding our way through season two. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!

We're painting a lot these days, too. We've got half a dozen home renovation projects we're working to finish...what a gift to be able to do that. It's hard work and messy, but I certainly don't take it for granted. It is a blessing to have the ability and resources to work on our home. I don't take my father-in-law for granted either! He's been incredibly generous to come over and help Andrew and I with our projects. Hopefully we'll have a before and after project on here soon!

Hope there's sunshine in your neck of the woods today! Andrew and I are soaking up the rays here in Virginia. Happy spring!
