The man

My husband is the most awesomest man alive.

Surprise!

Today when I got home from work I had a great surprise waiting for me :-) Today is one year from the day Nick & I first said I love you (he has all of the dates saved on his phone so we can remember). On the outside of our front door was a note that he wrote that said "leave thevacuuming to me :)" And then I unlocked the door and walked in. He had cut up little words everywhere with a bouquet of flowers sitting in the middle of it. The pieces of paper were in the living room, kitchen and a few made their way into the hallway and bedroom entrance. He put numbers on the back of each piece of paper for me to put them in order. It was a little note! I loved it! It was great and I had been thinking of getting some flowers for spring too actually. I love my husband! We are very glad to have each other.

Here is a picture after I was able to put all of the pieces of paper in order, and also one of just the bouquet in my favorite vase from our wedding decor.

Summer Fever

I've got summer fever.

I am so excited for it to be summer. We will miss our first place and are a bit sad that we never got to enjoy our yard since the whole time we've lived here it's been snowing. We were planning on doing a garden in the back and also were excited to see it get all fixed up with sod and such. Our apricot tree would've been nice to get fruit from too, although there are quite a few bees that love it too.

BUT, to have a break from work and get outside more often (with sun!) will be delightful, especially in our new place with air conditioning, no mold or peeling paint, closing cupboards with space to stand things upright (I will take a picture of our cupboard with cleaning supplies and stage an attempted cereal box before we leave), and most importantly, a dishwasher! I can't wait to move there in one month and two days! It will be grand indeed.

This is a picture I took on our honeymoon last year when we went on a hike. I really love it and it's been my computer background for a little while. It just makes me feel like summer.
