Wow! I can’t believe that the calendar has already flipped the page to Spring. I always looked at the seasonal calendars, you know the ones with all the pretty post-card pictures for each month? Well, I would flip through the shiny, satiny pages of fall colors and white winters day dreaming of what it would be like to actually have a need to loop a scarf completely around your face and not even worry about what you looked like. The day dream bubble would always pop as I turned towards my Louisiana window and reality set in that I have three seasons: hot, sticky hot, and icey February. Well, I can now say that I have my glossy calendar life of four complete seasons, nobody even looks twice at your looped scarf because they can barely see from between theirs, and…. bring me a hot Louisiana day anyday!

HaHa. No, really, I can finally say that Huntsville, AL feels a little more like home. My husband and I are so very blessed in friends and family and our love and friendship grows stronger day by day…. of course, if his job took him to a nice Carribean island, I would support him as a good wife should. =)A recap since Christmas… January was cold, February frigid, but March began so beautifully. We had beautiful spring days, the Bradford Pear trees are all in bloom, as well as, the lovely purple weeds in our yard. But just like the testy lion that March roars in with the taste of Spring became a sting of winter winds once more. We had a Friday of 70 degrees and a Sunday morning of white, fluffy, snow. (about an inch thick).

In January, we decided to buy a house… by the end of that month, we were building one. Our beautiful house will be finished in June and it everything and more that we could ever have hoped for in our first home. I have begun a “baby” book for our home and I will continue to update it at each new “growth stage”. We went today to pick out hardwood floors, cabinet colors, paint colors, tile, and granite patterns.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Luke and I started this site so we could stay in contact with all of our family at home. It is so hard to pick up the phone these days, not everyone has an email, and I love to write letters, but seldomly remember to. We love ya’ll and can’t wait to see everyone on our next trip home.

Oh, by the way. Luke and I are training for a 5K that we will run in May!

P.S. The Indians named north Alabama the “valley of the sick head” because apparently it is allergy central of America…. I thought, “well that won’t affect me… I don’t get allergies… Poor Luke”…. ha. Karma sure does sting! I’ve been croaking, and coughing, and blowing for 7 days now.
