all in favor of making weekends longer

i'm suffering from weekend deprivation right now. 

they should make weekends more than two days. 

two just isn't enough time to you know, sleep, veg, watch tv & be lazy.

i need moooore weekend.

maybe it's not a lack of weekend i'm suffering from. 

maybe it's the monday blues...

either way, weekends need to be longer.

spring cleaning

i was spring cleaning this fine morning & captured some little moments in between my breaks. 

maggie catching up on her zzz's

i love seeing green on trees again. but i love my just cause flowers more.

kodi sleeping with her eyes open. she's watching the squirrels outside the window. please ignore the poorly made bed.

only six more instax mini pics needed to fully cover the ugly breaker box. packed up all my winter scarves & hung up the spring ones.

are you doing any spring cleaning?

happy saturday!

letters {19}

dear pollen count you were absurd yesterday. we had a warning yesterday to stay indoors cause you were that high. poor pepper {she's our black car. salt is our white one. original, i know...} was yellow by the end of the day. she looked sick.
dear last night's thunder storm thanks for washing pepper & all the pollen into the lake. now our lake looks sick.
dear kodi  you are going to be so excited to know that on monday you're going to doggy daycare. you're going to make so many friends but more importantly, you're going to be exhausted. SCORE!
dear georgia you're weather has been phenomenal. we took the girls to the park & they got hot. first panting session of the year & many to come.

happy friday!

lately {13}

 

lately it's been pretty quite, as you can tell -- not many pictures. georgia's standardized tests just started this week, which means i have the week off & M is stressed {sort of makes for a bad combination}. lately our internet is down AGAIN {well not lately, really as of yesterday morning}. so i'm using my phone's hotspot AGAIN & it's doing the job okay, just slower. internet man is supposed to be showing up today, but that usually always changes last minute. 

with spring break over, we're dreaming of summer vacation. lately on IG i've seen lots of sandy beach pictures & i'm growing anxious for july's trip. but i know july will be here before i can say summer vacation because wasn't christmas just yesterday? geez, this year is flying by.

what have you been up to lately?

moment of peace

i'm 23 going on 24. yeah, that's young. young enough to still learn, make mistakes & grow. i've barley scrapped the surface of this life & i know that. i also know that my God has plans for me. plans specifically designed for me. but what i don't know is just that. what are His plans for me. what does He want me to do & what am i supposed to be doing? it's frustrating, you know?!

well, i'm returning to school this fall {yay! round two here i come!}. after my cousin died in a fatal car wreck last month, it put everything into a clearer perspective for me. it's been heavy on my heart to do what i love; not just what i want to do, but what i truly enjoy doing. & that's simple -- i LOVE taking pictures. so this fall i'm returning to school to get a degree in photography. i've prayed & fasted about this upcoming change & you know what? it feels right. i'm excited about this & it feels good -- almost peaceful.

you never know with Him, sometimes you think you've got it all figured out, then He laughs & throws you in the other direction. so maybe this isn't meant for me, & if not, i'll not return to school & do another post like this ;) i'm still young, i have time.
