Spring

Monday was Charles' Birthday. On Sunday night, we celebrated with our life group at our house, which ended up being 12 adults, 1 child and a poodle. On Monday Charles had to work, but afterwards he wanted to go out for a sushi dinner. So, I decided to surprise him with a candle-lit sushi dinner at home. Of course he called in the afternoon and asked if I could just meet him at the restaurant, but I asked if he wouldn’t mind coming home to pick me up instead. So, there were candles on the porch and a low-table set with his favorite sushi and wine. It was fun to surprise him.






Our cherry tree is in blossom now, and will soon be gone- I think we may get about 3 weeks out of it each year. Last year I figured it would be in blossom for several months, and so I barely took any pictures and one day it rained, and the blossoms were all gone. So this year, I’ve been out there several times taking pictures, but there is already a coating of petals on the ground, and I know it won’t be much longer. I must be really excited about it because I had a dream last night that my Mom was coming for a visit and I was so excited that she would get to see the cherry tree in bloom. Today I cleaned off our table and chairs, and ate breakfast and lunch outside.

















Here is a picture of me with semi-curly hair. It didn’t curl as much as usual, but it’s all I’ve got.

I just booked my flight to Vegas next week. Sherry Duckett and I are going out for a photography conference. I’m very excited about the conference, but from what I’ve heard about Vegas I wish it was anywhere but there. Still, I feel like I’m going to some foreign country or something.
