towards the light

ok ok… i know this is normal and totally not that exciting that flowers "lean towards the light" but still please admit how caaaauuuteee these tulips are, maybe it's cause they are being so dramatic with "leaning" but the simplest things will never cease to amaze me (i hope.)

and speaking of leaning towards light…. hello spring break! 

much needed week that i already know is going to go by too fast.

but lets all enjoy it while we can, fit in some spring cleaning, get a little sun kissed, and stay calm because spring break = half way through the semester.

ps… if you're like me and you like treats and are craving something fresh and sweet.. these lemon brownies are your guy.

also speaking of leaning towards the light… i loved the first presidency message this month.

the "Teaching From This Message" section nails it.

XOXO and happy spring breaking! 

lemon sweets

You know you're in trouble when,

 a recipe calls for an entire can of sweetened condensed milk.

I had to take a "pinterest break" while I was doing my homework today and I couldn't resist these sweet lemon treats... my ten minute "pinterest break" turned into a 45 minute "baking break."

just call me maria

^but there was also a 5 ingredient, short-cut recipe here^

Speaking of sweets... I'm sure missing my sweetie.

Yesterday Jordan finally got unexpectedly transferred to Agua Prieta, Sonora. His first time being transferred in Mexico! After six months in Nogales I know he developed some very special relationships with his investigators and the members, so he's both sad and very excited for the change. He loves being a missionary, and tells me every single week! The Church is true people! Love his guts and i'm so dang proud of him every single day.

And speaking of missions... my best friend Madi Kramer left for her 18 month journey this morning! She will be serving in Tacloban, Philippines. It was definitely a bitter sweet goodbye. I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing examples I have in my life!
