spring= new life (yard work, spring break, and other happenings)

today is the last saturday of spring break, and it was yard work day at our house. working outside was wonderful! the flower beds smelled like life. the pesky grass springing up, the irises poking their leaves out, and the scent of fresh mint growing.

this spring break has been lovely. i got to spend a couple days at one of my dearest friends who is about to get married. we had a lovely time, talking, working on flower arrangements, playing pranks on steve, taking the dogs for a walk, generally having an amazing time.

later in the week i got to hang out some other friends of mine, one who just got back from mma. my aunt came down from denver. we went out to lunch, went to this cool pottery place and painted things, and went shoe shopping. it was so much fun. the boys were gone and we just got to hang out. and we introduce my baby brother to starbucks. no, we got him juice, not coffee.

yesterday my siblings and a friend and i went for a short hike at usafa. it was a perfect day for a hike. it was so gorgeous.

I also chopped my hair off.

in short spring break was amazing.
