I woke up early one morning this time last year and saw the clouds outside the window. We hardly ever get clouds like this in Huntington Beach, so H.E. and I went out and shot pictures. He took the best ones that day, but I like this one of mine.
In other news … two days ago, H.E. gave me my birthstone set in a ring.

Well holeymoley! Does that mean congratulations are in order??!!?? I do believe that the April birthstone is a DIAMOND! Unless he gave you a diamond nose ring or belly button ring, I think that totally means he proposed. Yes?
He proposed 10 years ago, actually. We do things somewhat out of order.
Ohhhh…that explains your 17-year-old daughter. I get it now.
LOL, it would have had to have been an immaculate conception. I was still a virgin 17 years ago.
Cooooongratulations!
Thaaaaank yoooouuu!
Fantastic cloud capture April! We did a cloud ceiling in my oldest’s baby room and it looked almost like that. without the factory of course! I love that your announcement was almost “offhand” you know you’re excited! Congrats!
Thanks, Paige! And yes, I am!
Congrats on your engagement, and Happy New Year! Your year-end list has inspired me to write my own, not for public viewing but to remind myself of what to be thankful for.
Thanks, JJ!
