the month of april

i love april!  it is probably my favorite month of the year.  just saying "april" makes me smile and encourages cheerfulness.  here are some reasons why i love me some april:

• winter is over. 
• the flowers and leaves will be in full bloom by the end of its 30 days. 
• the easter celebration means reese's peanut butter eggs, cadbury mini eggs and of course the Easter celebration itself. 
• one of my 9 annual holidays takes place on april 22nd which means i will be getting paid to vacation in san francisco this year. 
• spring cleaning!
• general conference weekend = spiritual rejuvination and a sunday off from primary
• fruits like berries and melons start to come into season
• three pay periods in april
• flip flops!
• generally walk home from work for the first time in april.
• eating outside for lunch break.
• daylight shines for both my commute to and from work.
• no more wearing tights under skirts
• WINTER IS OVER!

why do you enjoy the month of april?  what do you look forward to the most when the calendar moves to the fourth month of the year?
