the month of april // photo dump

the things that make me different are the things that make me. 

- A. A. Milne 

April has flown by and a new month has begun. It is hard to believe that I have been living in New England for three months now. Some days it feels as though we have been here forever, and some it feels as though I just left home. 

April in New England was cold and snowy for a good portion of it. Snow would flurry down, melt, and then make an appearance once again. I am not sure what I think of it here yet. 

 I do miss my lush green grass back home. The bright blue skies and the evergreen trees. And of course, my mountains. 

Well, enough about that! Here are some highlights about April.

- moved into our new apartment and began unpacking and making it a home. 

- we were given a free dining room table and it was lovely to sit at one once again.

- celebrated Easter, my first holiday away from home, at my Grandparent's home. 

- I finally got my drivers license! 

- legally changed my name!

- got a bank account!

- Josiah turned 24

- I turned 22

He is the sweetest uncle.

Easter fun!

A box arrived from back home that brought tears to my eyes.

Received this rose bush in the mail from my Aunt. It has brought me much joy as I watched it grow and bloom.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Memories from our dating days.

I had a blank space above my sink and was not sure what I wanted above it. I was browsing online and seen a sign that I sort of liked, so I asked Josiah if he could make it for me. We set out  painting, cutting, measuring, and finally designing together. Something just wasn't looking right though. The saying I had picked just wasn't popping. We tried adding flowers and designs but I just wasn't feeling it. Josiah kept asking if I liked this or that and I said "Mm.. I don't know. It's a little much. I mean, what do I always say?" to which he answered, "to keep it simple". Amen.

 

I hope you all enjoyed this lengthy photo dump! 

May looks to be a busy month filled with visits from many friends, sisters, aunts, and weddings. 

On to the next adventure.
