Hello spring // welcome madness

IMG_8193

I tend to forget that with the spring weather and excitement comes a good deal of madness too. Lately, I just have to keep telling myself this is all a part of the journey. The worry and concerns have been overwhelming, but at least the  fun times have seemed much brighter than they normally do in light of everything.

As I mentioned in the last post, a lot in my life has seemed to be in a state of transition, but good things are happening and I’m excited to share new photos and memories soon. For now, enjoy the madness.

Have a happy weekend, and remember this:
