Jeremy made this video and showed it to me as the proposal. I had no idea that he had talked to my dad and bought a ring! Totally caught me by surprise!

Freshly Fallen Snow
Who would of thought that when I moved to Dallas I would experience such wintery weather? In my whole childhood in Austin, I think I could count on one hand the number of times I saw snow and that snow was usually barely enough to measure. A few weeks ago my school was hit with freezing temperatures, ice, and snow. It was the coldest weather I have ever been in. We couldn't leave campus for several days, I ran out of "good" food, and got a mild case of cabin fever.
Reflecting back on it, I was rather
annoyed with the snowy weather. Why did it have to come and throw off my whole schedule? How inconvenient it was. How much I wanted to drive to the store and not worry about sliding on ice. But now I realize how often I am annoyed with God's creation as if it were getting in my way. Why must we disconnect ourselves from it so often? Yesterday I made myself lay in the grass, take off my shoes, and just enjoy the beauty all around me. I feel silly for caring more about attending classes and working than taking time to slow down and share in a blessing of cold weather. 
Moral of the story is: take time to enjoy nature around you. Stop and appreciate it. Take a long breath of God's refreshing air that He so freely gives us.

It has been TOO long!
Life.has.been.busy.
I have been itching to update my blog since things got crazy last semester, but it just has not been at the top of my priority list. Winter break was nice. It was extremely busy, but nice to live in Austin for a bit. I was taking (and still am) an online class, so that made it a little less like a break, unfortunately. My classes at DBU are very good so far, just a little hectic since my online class goes to the end of February. I hope that I balance it all well. There's a lot of things that I can't wait to blog about! They will be a little late, but still interesting I hope.
Happy semester to all you college-goers!

oh and p.s. I can't wait for graduation. August 5th, 2011!
