Warm Thoughts of Spring

Sometimes I just have to stop and remind myself how grateful I should be in life. Honestly. I've got probably the best, most exciting months ahead of me. There is something about the spring semesters of college that get me excited. Maybe its because I know that warmer, more delightful weather is coming my way so there seems to be a "spring" in my step. (Pun on the word intended). Maybe it's because this particular spring semester is my last one of college.  or just maybe it's because Jared's parents were gracious enough to help us buy a house that we get to work on all semester. hmm but it also could be because I'm getting married to my best friend and man of my dreams after this semester. [yes, i think thats it :) ]

I have finally stepped back and realized how incredibly blessed I am at this very moment. Honestly, there is so much going for me right now... I don't want to mess it up. But all of this means nothing unless I point it all to God and say "I'm extremely humbled, Lord. Thank you."

Spring is so inviting. So exciting. Fresh air. Warmer weather. Jeans and a blouse or maybe even a tank top embellished with these cute little flowers that I'm going to learn how to make before long...

This Spring will be the best one yet. My most disciplined season yet. A season of expectation and hope. 

So, I get caught up with the ideas of Spring and look at the calendar and remember that it's only the beginning of January. Spring semester hasn't even started yet (only 4 more days of break). And I lean to get my blanket, fleece, and cozy up on the couch until my hot chocolate is done warming up.
