May - Ma + Jo = Joy

by Genny

When I was younger I probably didn't think of May as a wonderful month. It's my 2 sisters' birthdays, mother's day, my grandma's birthday and my grandparents' anniversary. It kind of felt like Dad and I were the only ones not getting presents around this time of year. Luckily in the springtime every day is kind of like a present. There are a few days every May that are so perfect you don't believe they were real. I remember one day with chocolate cake and football spent with 3 very awesome friends in Allentown. I remember quite a few spring days with the MacBride's, enjoying walks and flowers, playing catch on the front lawn. May in college meant school was over and we had very few days to enjoy together before heading home for the summer. Spiderman movies, final retreats of the year, and hoping the cute boys wouldn't forget us over the summer. May in Connecticut was reunion time with a-whole-nother group of friends, and the start of all the family summer picnics, the Memorial Day parade, maybe a motorcycle ride if I'm lucky. Now that we live in Boulder, it's weather perfect for climbing, and biking, and hiking and drum circles and slacklining...

Whatever the activity, I hope your second half of May is even better than the first. AND if you need a soundtrack to truly enjoy spring go download your free Coldplay CD. (Thanks Christy!)

Don't worry. Ben already reprimanded me for it. But I was inside and couldn't get out to take a picture right then. The only May photos I had as options were prom photos, and I never went to any prom with Ben!
