Sum Sum Summer Time

It's finally here, well not officially.  Summer time!  School is out.  Swim team has begun.  Fun in the Son (VBS) is all week long and vacations are coming.  What an awesome time of year.  The boys are excited because of later bed times, lots of time outside, lots of swimming, lots of camping, and lots of fun.  We leave shortly for Pentwater, MI for a campground called Hill and Hollow.  It is an awesome campground including a nice pool, great campsites, and good bathrooms.  That is the trifecta of camping right there.  My favorite things about camping are relaxing, family time, no schedules, and lots of fun.  Can't wait to see what this summer holds.

Spring. It is finally here!

I love Spring! I love seeing all of the beautiful flowering trees.  I love the longer days. I love the flowers that pop through the newly thawed ground.  I love the warmer weather.  I love seeing leaves on the bare limbs of the trees. I love the hope that spring ushers in.  It lets us know that winter does not stay forever. Isn't God good! Even though the winter may seem long and never ending, it is always followed by spring.  Even though the day of crucifixion looked dark, it was followed by the resurrection! That is what spring is to me.  It is the resurrection of hope anew.

It's been awhile

It's been a while since I have posted anything to this blog.  I don't know if anyone even reads it or cares.  The winter blahs have definitely hit the Million household.  There are those who love winter, love the snow, and can't imagine living anywhere else.  Cleve and I are not one of those.  We dream of warmer locals; beaches, mountains, sunshine...  But, our families are here and we enjoy being close to family.  Thankfully February is almost over and spring is coming.  Hope rings eternal.  So, until I open my coffee shop in the tropics and Cleve opens his dive shop we remain in cold, snowy, Indiana.  We are making the best of where we are and dreaming of spring, summer and fall.
