"That one sunny day that winter gave up"

Today was that sunny day.

I don't have any pictures from today

but here are pictures of another sunny day-

Easter 2011

the Easter we were dating

the Easter that we spent with friends, all with out of town families

the Easter when we dyed eggs on the front porch

the Easter that a coal hopped out of the bonfire and burned through my pants

the Easter that we ate hot dogs all day, and roasted buttered corn over the fire.

Looking forward to many more Easters with this man.

Maxi Skirts, etc.

Lately, I have found myself with more time than usual.  Whenever I get the time to be productive, like really be productive, I forget all of the things on my to-do list.  Not intentional forgetting/denial, just oops?  The next day that I'm back to business, I'm remembering all of these projects that were invisibly hanging over my head the entire weekend.

I should probably just start writing things down.

In preparation for summer - I am planning to make some maxi skirts!  I am currently scouring the internet for some fun floral fabric.  The patterns that I am looking at are here and here, both found on pinterest.  However, I have yet to sort through this list of 41 patterns maxi skirts and dresses, and it looks like a few of those will be keepers.

I am a fairly selective blog reader, but when I find one that I like, oh my.  I have recently discovered this lovely married couple in Australia, he - a photographer, she - a mom.  I've been so encouraged by this couple's love for each other.  You can find his photography blog here and her's, here.

Tonight while we ate dinner, I was watching The Mindy Project while Michael was watching his classmates' sermons.  He's so close to graduating!  And honestly, his hard work encourages me every day.  I have so much respect for that man.

Also, I would really like to pick up a new book.

Sorry about the rambling posts as of late.  We've gotten lazy with taking pictures, but that will hopefully pick back up again soon.  (Maybe for M's birthday in 2 days?? hmmm)
