Much Needed Updates

     So, today is February 20th, which means March is in EIGHT days.  EIGHT.  That word deserves to be in all caps and bold because that is just pure insanity. I started this post two weeks ago and promptly forgot about it...I'm gonna finish it up and add in some February stuff.  Lots of things happened in January, none of which I want to forget.

Snowmageddon 2011!  Everything was shut down for a whole week.

Road trip to B-Ham!

I got to see Michaela and Jon!  What a blessing!

Amber was home from Peru! (And she gave me this cool Peruvian hat.)

Chopped open my thumb with a paper cutter...this was after a few days of healing.

Lots of shopping with my baby sister!

Beautiful early morning snow on my drive to work...what a way to start the day!

Hockey game with my sisters and honorary sister.  So fun!

Valentine's gifts from my parents.

Valentine's Day dinner at Moe's with baby sister.

     There we go...January and most of February in a few choice pictures.  I can't believe the year is going so fast, but I think March is going to bring some really great things.  I'm excited for what is to come, but very content with today and grateful for the past couple months.  As the authors of Love the Life You Live (the book we're reading in my small group) summarized a quote from the Greek philosopher Epicurus,

...the most contented people remember the past with gratitude and accept their present situation without coveting what someone else has.

Have a happy Monday.  :]
