In With the New

As I sit on my parents' backyard patio furniture, sipping my cinnamon dolce frappuccino and watching my dad rake the  dead leaves on the ground, I think of the significance of this moment.

The cold weather has been absent for weeks now, having been replaced by the warm, sunny stuff. The  fall leaves have detached themselves from trees, allowing fresh, green ones to sprout in their place. Yesterday, I made the official decision to move back to my parents' house this summer, altering my future plans yet again. Yesterday, was also the first day of spring. Change (the good kind) is in the air.

I cannot wait for summer weekends spent boating and having a blast at Crab Island. I cannot wait to spend more time with my family, especially since not only will I be moving back home, so will my brother (my poor parents!). I cannot wait to explore new hobbies and experience new places and things this summer.

I'm all about out with the old and in with the new!
