Signs of Spring...

Fortunately for Anna, there are lots of weeds dandelion flowers in our backyard for her to make wishes on.

It was warm enough to get the pool out and both girls had huge smiles almost the whole time they were in it.

Nothing says spring in Texas like pictures in the bluebonnets. Living in Central Fort Worth, it was impossible to find a field of bluebonnets but this little patch was good enough.

Another sign of spring is our anniversary, March 27th. I always dreamed of having an outdoor wedding in the spring and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day than the one we had over 8 years ago!

One of the best things we did for our marriage this year was go through a 6 week DVD series called Love and Respect with some of our friends from church. The series is based on the belief that love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. I'm so thankful to be part of a community where people are willing to be vulnerable enough to come together to share some of the struggles and successes they had on their marriage journeys.

Having these two little ones has forced us to be more intentional than ever in our relationship. The picture below reminds me that it is worth it!
