SEIZE

1) to take hold of suddenly or forcibly; grasp
2) to grasp mentally; understand clearly and completely
3) to take possession of by force or at will
4) to take possession or control of as if by suddenly laying hold


April truly went by in the blink of an eye (I feel like I start every post with HOW FAST time seems to be flying). I can't believe we are now starting the fifth month of the year!

If I had to dedicate a phrase to April it would be "seize the day". From parasailing in Mexico (yes that post will be coming!) to dancing to our favorite Macklemore songs at Whitney's wedding or making awesome improvements around the homestead, April was the month to do it all. Take a look below! Carpe diem!
