As Our Sweet Home South finishes up {pictures coming soon!! a lot of progress has been made!!}, our excitement to be homeowners in our first home as Mr. & Mrs. is at its peak!! Not only is it our first home together, but The Hubbs and I seem to always mention on our little car rides to see Our Sweet Home South, "Are you ready to start Our Forever?!" this question always leads to a big old "YES!!" and a grin from ear to ear.
On our trip last night, the workers had done some major yard crashing, aka cut down, dug up and everything in between, to our new yard!! It's like Our Sweet Home South took a breath of fresh air and blew all of the trees away. We really haven't paid much attention to the outside of the house because #1 ~ Finishing the inside is a M-U-S-T...#2 ~ The front and back yards are tangled up messes of trees and weeds.
However, on our survey of the backyard, for the first time I took a step back and noticed the one bush that still stood. Upon the top of the bush was a freshly bloomed Gardenia. Oh My Goodness. Just seeing that simple little flower, whose fragrance fills the air with sweet notes of gardenia lovelies, made my heart flutter. But it took me slowing down and seeing the simple things in life to allow me to notice and appreciate such beauty.
Just so y'all know Sweets, Gardenias are in my top three of favorite flowering bushes!!
During the hustle and bustle of everyday life, remember to slow your roll and see life's simple things. Their simplicity and sweetness are sure to bring you pure joy throughout your day to day life.
