Warm Fuzzies

I have posts in the works about real things I promise but I've really only been able to think about a couple things lately. Indulge me, won't you.

First and most exciting, I was recently accepted to a Master's degree program! Beginning this fall I will be working toward my teaching certification and Master's in Elementary Education which means in just a few years I'll be able to have a classroom all my own! I'm so grateful for my current job as a teaching assistant because it has provided not only invaluable experience but relationships with teachers who gave me great letters of recommendation. Thanks, guys!

Next, it's finally Spring in Indiana! Like many people, my mood is so very affected by the weather so sunny days, warm weather and green grass makes me more pleasant to be around. We turned our heat off and opened the windows. No more heavy piles of blankets on the bed. Life is good. Spring and Summer also bring with them one chore I never really dread- mowing the lawn. I have always found mowing the lawn very therapeutic whether it's riding circles around my parents large backyard or walking rows across our little postage stamp, the mowing, it soothes me.

I know this time of year is not as delightful for everyone as it is for me, though. As I write this Boyfriend is spending the umpteenth hour with his computer finishing papers for this semester's classes. I hear only the occasional sigh or grunt. Yes, those moments make me wonder what I just got myself into. I think we're both in need of a fun summer.
