Feels like Spring

Things are beginning to bloom everywhere we look and the weather has been beautiful. Winter just might be over for us. All of this motivated us to start up our balcony garden once again. This year we will be growing jalapenos, dwarf eggplant, 7 or so herbs (rosemary, chives, thyme, basil, mint, parsley, dill), and some pretty flowers. It is so nice to see life again outside our window!

It is officially spring break for Katie, although it has felt like a vacation since her exam last Tuesday. She is loving nursing school and doing quite well - out of 8 exams, 7 A's and 1 B! The hospital experiences have been wonderful for her and we can only hope that it continues. A couple weeks ago she even put her anxiety aside and gave her first injection successfully. She is starting to find balance between life and school by starting yoga and baking more frequently. We know who benefits from extra sweets sitting in the apartment...but we are also giving some away to friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

Chris continues to enjoy tying flies and has even started brainstorming on original fly patterns. His practice really is paying off as his flies look better and better every week. It is amazing that he only began this a little over a year ago and now we are busting at the seams with all things fly fishing. Hopefully he will get to go fishing sometime soon, as his plans to go this past weekend were ruined when his car wouldn't start. Maybe that new vehicle is coming soon...we will see.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."

-Proverbs 3:5-6
