Counting down the days...

Hello friends,
Although we feel busy, not a lot has been happening on our front.  After so much traveling earlier this Spring, it's been nice to stay home.

I've been enjoying the not-yet-hot weather on our new porch seat...

 Hosting parties for friends...

Admiring cute babies...

And of course chilling with my boys.

I'm trying to soak in these last few days of relaxation, because I start back to school again in a week!
For those of you who don't know, when I went through my pregnancy and miscarriage last year I had to take time off of school.  And because my Masters program is so fast-paced and structured, if you take any time off it has to be pretty much a year at a time.  Last year this time, starting back seemed so far away...but time has flown by and now it's here.  Looking back it's been a wonderful year "off" and i'm honestly so thankful for it.  As excited as I am to go back and finish OT school, i'm also nervous.  I'm joining a whole new class I don't know yet, and starting back with our most challenging semester.

Not gunna lie, this whole not studying and spending more time with my friends and family thing has been quite enjoyable.

But nothing is forever, it's just for a season.  And despite some anxiety I AM looking forward to finishing my degree, and meeting new people and opportunities.

I can't move on without remembering my "original" class I started with.  They all graduated this past weekend, and I was a little sad I wasn't in their position like I would have been.  But I'm happy for them and remember i'll be there before I know it.  They have been wonderful friends and helped me so much through my first year.

All this to say, I'm thankful for the memories i've had, where I am now, and what lies ahead.
