Grandma is dearly missed... but happy times are just around the corner!

I'm so ready for this wintery weather to pass by and bring me the warm sweetness of spring and summer!

Everyone goes through their winter blues and it's time to cheer up and bring on the beautiful aromatic spring blossoms and the soothing sound of waves sneaking up to shore.

Spring was always my grandmother's favorite season --- full of spring cleaning, fresh flowers, sweet breezes, and of course - warmer weather.

With the close ties I always had with my grandmother prior to her passing I would indulge in helping her clean windows, paint, and garden in the spring time. Now that I have a house of my own I can make those memories come a reality again --- only not with my grandmother physically present but spiritually watching over me.

The love of a family member will always go on to help you make it through even your worst times. TJ and I have had a rough past year with many firsts taking place. With the help of the good lord above and my loving grandmother, uncles, and friends watching over us we have been able to survive.

The change of season always brings back great memories I share with my grandmother. This is why I can't wait for spring to get here!

Then comes summer--- oh sweet summer time! Due to TJ leaving in June for 3 weeks our summer gets cut a little short. We will absolutely need to get in plenty of river time, camping time, fishing time, and of course --- boating time!

I can't wait to show off a bronze tan, wear flip flops, squeeze into my swim suit and pry buy a new one due to the few "winter pounds" put on! :)

Rocking out to music and loving warm weather --- those are the days I am looking forward too! We are one step closer to those days with Day Light Savings Time on Sunday!! YEAH! Give me two more months and it'll be here --- 3 more months and our one year anniversary---wow that went fast!
