Spring Break Adventures

We headed to California on an airplane to visit family over spring break, and it was exactly what the title suggests...an adventure. Momma toating two little ones on an airplane with carseats, diaper bags, backpacks (toys for the kiddos), and a stroller...equation for a stressed out me.

Once we arrive in Orange County, all the stress was removed and we were ready for the vacation part. We headed to Disneyland for three days. Lily was the happiest little girl in the world when she saw Minnie Mouse...need to get the pic from my mom. Garrett could have rode the Buzz Light Year ride all day. I enjoyed the churros, they are the best.

After Disney we just visited with family for the week, and got in some quality time. Such a great memory. I know daddy missed his little ones, and is so happy to have us home:)

A New Life Out West

Pismo Beach, CA

Denver, CO

Since we moved from California to Colorado in October, time has rapidly been passing by. In six months, we seen the seasons change from autum stained leaves of the Front Range to the white covered snow caps of December. Change is good, and necessary in some cases. This change has given me a chance to reflect on all areas of my life and decide where other change is needed. I've been propelled to overcome fear that has drained the opportunity for adventure and progress.

Now that the snow is melted (although I'm sure we will get a few more storms) I can see the golden fields turn to green, and feel the sharp sting of winter wind turn to soft somber breeze. Spring is a chance to dust off those winter blues and homesick slumber to rise and remember the joy that is all around. What brings you true joy? Is it the sensation of the sun filling your soul, a good novel, the the laughter of little ones playing outside? Focusing on what brings us true, simple, honest joy is what my spring is all about.
