- Babies...even if I don't have my own, I love looking at my friends children, playing with them, holding them, etc. I love it when they give you a toothless corner smile, it just melts my heart away.
- The SUN! It has been so beautiful here in Utah in February of all months!? I'm actually outside typing this blog with the sun warming every inch of me. How therapeutic! How wonderful!
- My Neighborhood has to be the most idyllic in Provo. I hear the BYU bell tower chime, waking me at 7am almost every morning, kids are constantly riding their scooters and playing in our not so busy streets, my visiting teaching companion lives next door, and the creamery is only a 2 minute walk from my house, and during the dinner time rush I can smell the delicious greasy hamburger smell as soon as I walk out my door.
- Spring! Spring is a time of rebirth, rejuvination, life. I love going through every last inch of my house to clean it and get rid of items to go to DI. I love seeing the little girls in church with cute pastel dress and white gloves. I especially love being outside planting pansies or any other plant for that matter. I love that my birthday is in the spring. Not too hot, not too cold; perfect!
- Really good inspirational non-fiction books about people who have devoted part, or most of their life to helping others in foreign countries. 3 Cups of Tea, and Monique and the Mango Rains are the two I would recommend.
- The excitement of the unknown. The past few weeks I've been really stressed about the unknown. When and where to complete my internship, when to have children, will I EVER graduate?, where to move, etc. But today I realized that the unknown is exciting. I can plan and prepare for life as much as possible, but sometimes I have to give up my worries to the Lord and move forward in faith. I know God has great plans for Brad and I, so I need not worry.

Spring is my 2nd favorite season, I'd have to say. I really like autumn, with the newly fallen leaves rustling beneath your feet as you trape through the woods. Nothing like that in the world.
While winter may be my least favorite time of year, at least you get snow where you live!
We have been "promised" snow many times this winter, but what little we actually got was gone before you knew it.
I managed to sit out in the winter sunshine while eating lunch today --- basking in it felt good on a cold windy day. I stayed in the truck, though. Too windy to get much benefit unprotected outside.
YEA!!! You commented on our blog =)
That makes me soooo HAPPY! Fall is actually my 2nd favorite for all of the reasons you just mentioned. Hope you're doing well. We love you!
