a season for everything lovely.

One of my favorite things is experiencing the change in seasons. Spring, summer, autumn, winter. Each new season brings a new set of possibilities...and potential memories made. When asked which time of year is my favorite, my answer is all of them. I am equally excited to see each season arrive...full of potential and overflowing with opportunities. It is exciting, to say the least.

As spring slowly comes to a close and the summer months are upon us, I look forward to these things:

• cookouts on the grill {husband makes the best grilled chicken!}
• taking naps in my hammock {which we just bought a stand for, so we can actually use it now...yay!}
• the smell of freshly cut grass.
• the feeling of sunshine on my shoulders and in my hair.
• sipping fruit tea with husby as the sun goes down and talking about our present and our future together.
• fireworks.
• picnics in the park.
• summery music {i.e. the beach boys, the beatles, jack johnson, etc.}
• my wildflower garden blooming.
• fairs and carnival {i have a thing for cotton candy and ferris wheels}
• buying fresh flowers and quality produce at the farmer's market.
• painting my nails bright, fun, colors!
• taking lots of photographs in the lovely weather.
• going to the drive-in movies and munching on yummy treats.
  
• husband's senior recital.
• husband's graduation.
• our two year wedding anniversary.
• vacation together.
