May 1st always seems to creep up on me. I always say "This year I'm going to make a may pole!" and I always run out of time :P Someday, I tell you.
Well, April has just flown by!It has certainly been a productive month. Lots of stuff happened and I got lots of stuff done. I think all of it will be better described through pictures!
Here's what happened this month:
 |
| Selfies with my new-ish teddy bear :) He is a build-a-bear I found for an awesome price at a garage sale last year. I plan to make some outfits for him. Or her. I haven't decided yet. Thus it is a nameless bear. |
 |
| First little purple flower in my myrtle patch. |
 |
| A little friend was outside my window :) I love squirrels. They look so huggable, but sadly not :P |
 |
| It snowed. In April. I have to admit it did look pretty awesome on all the tree branches. God is an amazing artist that is for sure. He has a good sense of humor too :D |
 |
| My brother recently became a deacon and this is what I wore to the ordination :) I'm so proud of him! I can't believe how fast the years have flown by. He should still be in college! Haha ;) |
 |
| My nails for the day! I bought nail stickers for the first time. I loved them! I took step-by-step pictures of how to put them on but I'll save those for another post. |
 |
| And this is what I wore for the party the next day. Gotta love mirror pictures :) |
 |
| My sisters and I joined forces and made these Settlers of Catan cupcakes for my brother and my Dad's birthday! (They have the same b-day) Even my niece and nephew helped! I'm thrilled with how they turned out :) We found the idea on pinterest, of course. |
 |
| Another view. We used licorice for 'bricks', oreos for 'ore', marshmallows and black frosting for 'sheep', shamrock sprinkles for the 'forest', crushed up graham crackers and blue frosting for the 'desert', rice puffs for 'wheat', and blue sprinkles for 'water'. I think it turned out smashing :) |
 |
| Here is my main spring display. |
 |
| My friend made me the 'alice in wonderland' tea cup with the clock and the flower for my bridal shower! Isn't it adorable? :) |
 |
| The lighting was just perfect in this pic! |
April was a nice month. I like months where lots of things happen and I'm constantly doing something. After such a long winter I don't mind being busy so much anymore. I was so burnt out after all that cabin fever :)
It's hard to believe that Robert and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary in just a couple of days! Where does the time go?
We'll be taking a weekend trip to celebrate the day :) I don't think we've done anything except maybe a couple of day trips since our honeymoon and some relaxation is much needed! It'll be nice just to forget about work for awhile :P
I hope everyone is having a great week!
Cheers!
P.S. Keep an eye out for lilacs! They should be making an appearance soon around here. BEST FLOWERS EVER!
