February already?

Hello friends :) It's been a while, so here's a quick update...

I'm in my fifth week of graduate school and I'm loving the program. Lots of wonderful people in my classes, professors are wonderful...it's good. :) The work is starting to pick up, but that's to be expected a third of the way into the semester. One of my favorite things about going to class is picking up my "daily treat." There's a little glass jar at the information desk filled with little strips of paper. With a label that says "treats that won't go to your thighs," the jar is filled with Bible verses. I take one before each class, share it with my mom, and love starting my class with the joy of God's word.

I just came back from a wonderful weekend in Seattle. My best friend Jordan, who I've been friends with since about the age of 10, lives there now with her husband. Though it was a short weekend, it was so wonderful spending time with her. Went to Pikes and watched fish fly (and saw someone who ordered an octopus), took a ferry to Bainbridge Island for some delicious homemade ice cream, watched old dance videos, and just enjoyed the wonderful weather we had!

This weekend, I'll be taking my sweet baby Catherine to a gymnastics meet at OSU, watching Sam's Special Olympics basketball tournament, babysitting Tucker...busy busy! But I love it!
