Today, Marin and I took advantage of a gift. The gift of sun.
Despite the many chores I needed to accomplish, instead, I opted for a day out with my girl.
We strolled downtown Grand Haven enjoying the warmth of the sun while we both window shopped. It was so lovely out that I didn't even care that my cofee was spilling all over, nor did I care that the construction downtown made it quite difficult to navigate around. Nope. It was a beautiful day and we were going to swim in it.
After our crisp walk, Marin and I traveled to the State Park where we both rested in the car with the window slightly down; enjoying the cool breeze and the warmth of the sun on our pale winter faces.
While resting, and maybe even more beautiful than the wonderful feeling of the sun's warmth, was the magnificent view of Lake Michigan and the thousands of tiny crystals sprinkled across the entire Lake thanks to the help of the sun. I do believe these crystals, or tiny treasures, may very well be my favorite thing to whitness during the early Spring months. The sun, reuniting with the Lake, in all its glory.
While typically it might have been a bummer to have to leave this fantastic scenery, I was okay with having to say goodbye. Afterall, it was quickly approaching 2:00 PM and Marin would soon be hungry. I can't wait for the day when the sun will be enough to fill her.
Matt is fly fishing today and I'm so thankful that he too, can enjoy the beauty of God's creation at its finest.
I get to live here. What a remarkable feeling.
...so sweet.

I am so happy I wrote about this day with Marin. I'm sitting here chilly, thinking about the beautiful sun that once was and the fun day I had with my girl.
