It's official.
I'm on Christmas break!
It's hard to believe. I think I can honestly say this has been the fastest semester so far.
Maybe it's was just the semester, maybe it's because I'm married, or maybe because life just keeps getting busier and flying by more quickly.
Whatever the reason, I'm thankful to be where I'm at today.
Finished.
I can't remember a semester that I haven't been more ready to be done with.
Not that it was a horrible semester. I was just ready for a break.
My motivation was gone...a few weeks ago. I wanted to be excited for the holidays but it was hard with finals looming over my head. And life outside of school was becoming very disorganized it was starting to stress me out.
However, now that I don't have school as an "excuse" I guess I'm actually going to have to start cleaning, and cooking, and paying the bills, and getting a bit organized.
Gone is the cover I had for why the house was always a disaster, the laundry never done, and supper was only sometimes on the table when Kirk got home.
But I'm not going to complain, because I'd much rather work on straightening those areas out in my life than study for another test right now!
If you don't know already...I'm a big procrastinator.
Especially when all motivation has vanished.
So as you can imagine, the past few days...err weeks...errr possibly months, I've put off lots of 'to do' items and reserved them for Christmas break...."when I'll have more time."
But now that it's here I'm realizing how little time I really have!
I'm trying not to be a pessimist but I know break is going to be way too short and it's going to go way too fast.
And all those wishful "to do" items I want to accomplish look slightly challenging with the few days I have between now January 13th.
But I'll do my best. :)
And just for good measure...this was my view driving home from school yesterday. God's beauty is breathtaking!
Happy weekend!

On another note...I can't believe how fast time is flying by. School has been busy. Housework seems to be never-ending. Sometimes I feel as if I am barely keeping my head above water. However, I don't want to sound like a complainer. Life really has been going great. I am so thankful for where God has placed me. Right now. I'm soo blessed.
Photo credits go to my mother and Karla Zimmerman. Thanks so much ladies!
