There's a Feeling in the Air...

Do you ever have a sort of De-ja-vu (how do you spell that one?) just because of the weather being a certain way, or the smells that are in the air? I've had that feeling for a couple of days now. Usually I can pinpoint it to one memory, however, not this time.
It has been a beautiful week, with nice, warm weather (85 on Wednesday!), wind, a little humidity, and the smell of trees and flowers blooming. It reminds me of:
  • The month before Randy and I got married, sitting in the car talking (yes, just talking) with the windows rolled down. Anxiously counting down the days until we were married.
  • Summers in Oregon and Washington, not too hot, with some humidity. Being with family and watching Kenadi play outside at my parents house.
  • Jayce Relays that I used to run when I was a little girl. I USED to be fast.
  • Watering the garden and killing June bugs
  • Change, Things are changing
  • Feels like we have a family trip planned.
  • Yurts on the beach- don't know what they are? AWESOME
  • Sleeping with the windows open
  • Picking strawberries. That was my first job in Oregon. I picked all day for a couple of days. I think I earned $7 a day. I was 13 or 14. By the way, those California strawberries are NOTHING compared to Oregon strawberries. They are sooooo sweet and juicy. No, I'm not partial. I'm telling the truth.
  • Family walks. I love those. Randy and I have the best conversations on our walks.
  • School's almost out. I remember feeling like this every year I was at BYU-I. I was always happy to be done with a class, but sad because friends were leaving.
  • Restless
  • Tornado season
  • Barbecues
Ok, there are more, but I think you get the idea. I do love spring here in Oklahoma. It is such nice weather. Things are getting green, flowers are up.... Ahhhh

You would probably love spring in Utah better. It snowed last night.
