how have you celebrated life? have you had any moments that reminded you how amazing life can be?!

a few bonus photos. yay!

spring is finally, s l o o o o w l y making it’s appearance here in sweden and all swedes are getting a little spring crazy now. no matter where you go, people are talking about the weather. if the sun is shining, then it’s a spring day, nevermind that the temperature is just above freezing or the wind is blowing like crazy. nope. it’s all about the sun, which is already warming up a bunch. though the air is still chilly.

and the daylight!!! oh, the beautiful daylight! it is not completely dark until 9:30 now, and we’ve got so much more daylight coming to us. yay!!

this coming week is a big one for us up here in the nordic country. it’s time to celebrate the coming of spring with bonfires, spring songs, sunshine, picnics, grilling, and bonfires. my love & i may be heading to uppsala to visit lina’s brother for a huge traditional, whole city, crazy celebration. but, no matter where i am, it will not go unnoticed that april 30th is the super crazy celebration of the coming of spring! it is the official welcome of the season! and then, we all have the next day (may 1st) off to recover from the celebration. yep. that’s how we roll up here.

here’s to wishing you a great end of april and beginning of may. i hope the sun shines some wherever you are! peace.
