I'm BACK!
Hello, I'm back! Sorry for the disappearance. Not only was I gearing up for finals (which are now over, thank the Gods), but my computer actually died...yes, forever, it is completely void of life. I actually purchased a new computer yesterday afternoon--So, I was basically computer-less for about a week and a half.
Oh, I went to Texas during my absence as well. There, I visited my little bro, who has Cerebral Palsy and has recently moved to his first group home.
During finals, I completely threw my hands up in the air with regards to all things healthy...I drank like a *pot* of coffe daily, didn't exercise, lived off of chocolate and slept like crap. Slowly, I'm re-regulating myself to normalcy again...I'm back off of caffeine (except my a.m. 1 cup, which is totally legit), I'm sleeping normal amounts of time in the evening, eating more natural, raw, unprocessed and dairy-free things, and my hounse is slowly becoming clean and organized once again...and, I'm feeling much more peaceful now...

Gratitude
A Series of Awkward Moments
Well, to counter my pre-menstrual pity party, I have decided to make a short of list of some of the things I'm grateful for (This always makes me feel better):
-My opportunity for an education
-My cozy apartment
-The fact that my fiance lives in it
-And makes me breakfast most mornings
-Holiday flavored coffee
-Christmas in general
-I feel thankful that I was raised without a lot of things that others had-I never thought I would say it, but it is so VERY true.
-I should add that my fiance just surprised me with a Bailey's and coffee; I'm definitely thankful for that.
-And the coffee is served in a hand-made mug that he surprised me with a couple of months ago...I'm thankful for my mug.
-It snowed today, just enough to cover the ground and all the trees...it's so pretty.
-I taught two lessons today (kindergarten and third), and they went really well.
-My friends
-My health
-My family...It sounds so cliche to say "friends, family, health," but when you are writing them down, you just think of all of these specific people who just really add a lot to life.
-I FINALLY got a lot of my wedding planned this weekend.
-Kids
-Big Brothers, Big Sisters
-The mayor's day parade is today, and I'm going to watch my little seventh grade friend walk in it. :)
