Close Your Eyes &




"fall in love with as many things as possible" 

...even with something as simple as a the beauty of a flower.  Take the time to fall head-over-heels for everything in sight; chasing after things you love, the ones you love, and the One who loves you more than you know.

    I agree with you Michaela; our days pass by us too quickly. I try to be very conscious to take in all that surrounds me - even if it's just a moment to appreciate the beauty of the sky. When I walk with my husband, I always stop at some point and say, "just stand here for a moment, look around and take this all in; try to remember it". He thinks I'm nuts - he says anyway - but silently I think he's glad for the reminder... :-)

    So pretty! Sometimes, I forget to just stop, slow down and smell the pretty flowers. You know what I mean... But it's so true! These pics are really cute. Miss you!

    xo,
