Spring is finally here and I couldn’t be more ready to feel the sun on my shoulders. Sam went golfing with the guys, and although it was very nice of him to offer, I declined on tagging along in a golf cart and decided on going out and snapping photos, instead.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, any fun plans?
