I miss my blog. It is fun to share life. Life has been a crazy whirlwind this year. I could not have anticipated how busy things can actually get. Graduate school has been much more work than I anticipated. The world of fourth grade has been particularly demanding this year. AND I am attempting to plan a wedding. Wedding planning does not fall naturally into my skill set. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have so many people in my life who are good at event planning, and who are willing to help me.

Despite being busy, I am constantly trying to remind myself of all the good I have in my life. This seems to be the only way for me to keep my head above water.

• I am marrying a man I love
• I have a job
• I was able to get in and am so far surviving graduate school
• My family and my future family are some of the most loving people I know
• I have great friends

Life is grand. I can’t let things slip by because I am too busy to appreciate.
