Spring is finally here, thank goodness! My bulbs are in full bloom and trees that I had no idea would flower have burst open with bright pink and white flowers. We were even treated with two days of much needed sunshine this weekend.
The flowers in the vases on the left are all from my garden. I think spring bulbs are one of God's greatest inventions. They provide so much joy.
Now if I could just get rid of this thief!
This month has been a month of new beginnings and fresh starts for us both. I found out that I was in the lucky group of people who passed the bar exam and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I spent the past three days celebrating with friends and family and it has been great. Thanks to all for the words of encouragement while I was studying and for the nice congratulatory words this week. Chris also got a fresh start when he was presented with the opportunity to take a new job at a company called Scentsy. Although it is not the most masculine company, it seems to be a great fit for him thus far (just finished week two).
I think that blogs (or at least mine) have a tendency to skip past life's more challenging moments. There were plenty of tears shed during the time I was studying for the bar exam (including the morning of the exam). Chris had to take a bit of a leap of faith to leave his company. We both had a couple of challenging months. I do, however, believe that there is always a silver lining and I am grateful for the moments when we finally get to see and experience that silver lining.
I am so proud of both of you. You work hard to reach your dreams. Your yard looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove this post, Ali. We are all VERY proud of you both. The move to Boise was a HUGE leap of faith and you two are proving that even when there are bumps in the road, you can get through anything when you put your mind to it (and face it together).
ReplyDeleteNow enough oooey gooey - Chris, send me some of those masculine wickless candles :)
