It Looks like Spring has Sprung!

-
It has officially been spring for almost a month (since March 20th, to be exact). Spring is just now starting to show some change in the landscape.

This was not taken at our place, this was in Ohio at Clarion Park.

The Year's At The Spring - Poem by Robert Browning

The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God is in Heaven—
All's right with the world!

Wedding Things

Well hello and welcome back to my little space of the internet! The short hiatus dragged out much longer than I anticipated:) Anyway..... Martina (who probably checks my blog for updates the most) says I should hop back on here and stay for awhile. So, I'm here. I don't know how long or consistantly I will visit, but. . . . She also said I should blog about our wedding. I like that idea:) *** Friday afternoon we set up the reception, held at Maranatha. We had lots of help from our families and it went quickly and efficently.  Janette did a really good job on my flowers! Time for rehersal! Early the next morning, Austin came to pick me up from my parents house for the last time before we were married. We had our first look in the back yard of my parents AirBnB.

Life Update. . .

This morning I was scrolling back through my blog and reading old posts when I stumbled across a series I wrote last summer: The Dread and Denial of being asked "The Question" . I started laughing as I reread the thread.   Life certainly is interesting these days. Seeing your younger siblings graduate high school and start their full time jobs makes you feel a little strange. Supposedly we grew up enough to do such things now, but I don't know about that! It looked so much easier when I was 12... From my 7th grade perspective, those graduates were so mature and had their lives together!   Yeah, or not!  But they sure made it look so easy.   . . . Maybe I should post a life update. . . and perhaps a brief introduction?   His name is Austin.  I like him a lot:)  He makes me very happy! The picture explains the rest.      The End
