Spring is Blooming Around Me

Image
A few years ago we, along with some friends had driven to Washington to see the Cherry Blossoms only to find out that there were a large number of gorgeous cherry blossoms blooming in our own town. We were new to the area and hadn't made our way over to that part of the town yet. We moved to a new location within the same town.. and boy what a difference those 5 miles made. We discovered that just a 10 minute walk away in Branch Brook Park there are now over 4,000 Cherry Blossom trees of many different varieties which bloom over an extended period in the park. There are an additional thousand beautiful blossoming trees growing along the streets of town. It turns out the my little town of Belleville, New Jersey is a premier location for viewing Cherry Blossoms. When we finally had a day of no rain I decided to take D out for a walk. He was more than thrilled at the idea of getting out of the house. I also took this as an opportunity to dust of my camera and take a few pi

Isn't Boring Just Great Sometimes

Its been cold for days, weeks, months now and it was fine considering it was winter. But just last weekend..days before it was officially spring not only was the sun shinning but the air was warmer, we brought out our t-shirts, put D in his stroller and took a long walk. And then it was officially spring and it snowed! Yesterday seemed like nice day, the sun was shining and was just a slight chill in the air.. we decided to head for the park. Maybe have D swing on his first swing. I filled a thermos with hot chocolate, bundled up D and off we went. Our first problem was when D fell asleep the moment his head touched the car seat. We thought no problem we'll just enjoy the sun and some alone time with D sleeping in his stroller. (M has been working late nights for three months now and though it's coming to an end with the end of the month it just feels like enough is enough. We hardly have any time. So this was it. A little us time. We pour two steaming hot cups of chocola

Turning Twenty Seven

Image
For many..well not many but a few years in my head I was always 23 years old.. even after I turned 25 I still thought of myself  as 23.. I had just started to get accustomed to being 25 and BAM! I'm 27! All of a sudden before I knew it I am in my late 20's. When I fill out a form or take a survey I can no longer check the 18-24 box.. no I now check the 25 - whatever box! I know nothing has changed..today will be the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be no different. Turning 27 is less of a 'oh crap I'm getting old' thing but more of a nostalgic where did time go type of a thing.  Just yesterday I was... and now.. and there is nothing depressing about that statement. I'm more filled with wonder, to think I am married to this wonderful man that I love in a way I had never imagined and I have little boy.. that we created out of nothing.. well ok there was something but you know what I mean and he has changed everything.. literally.. Oddly enough I am not
