The Praxis. I have been buried in my studies for the past few weeks. (bc I am a composite teaching major, I am required to take and pass a timed, comprehensive test on 6 different subjects bf I graduate.) I spent countless hours studying retaining names, dates, theories, equations...I was one tired girl. I took it on Saturday! yay! Now it is time for finals.
Pictured below was my attempt to memorize all of the details of World and US history.

Boston. I have been so sad about the tragedy at the Boston Marathon. My heart just breaks for those who have been affected. I was overwhelmed with hope as I saw the goodness of others rise above the evil. I saw this quotation today and I loved it: "If you're trying to defeat the human spirit, marathoners are the wrong group to target." I agree!!! As a result of everything going on, I have felt truly humbled and grateful for what I have. The things we have in our lives today, may not be there tomorrow.
I hope we all can show a little more love to those in our lives today.
Gratitude. Last week, as I was walking my usual route to campus, I noticed one of the trees had blossomed with the most beautiful flowers, over night. For a moment, I had forgotten about my crazy schedule and just stood under the tree admiring the beauty. This is my gratitude tree. So, every day I walk by this tree, I list in my mind things I am grateful for that day, big or small.
Wow, an attitude of gratitude can bring sunshine on even the rainiest of days.
Take the time to smell the flowers. Figuratively and Literally
On a different note, we just made our most expensive investment yet. We bought a car. Our first one!
The last four months we have been searching for a car and about a month ago we heard Grandpa Lightfoot was selling his Honda Fit. If any of you know Grandpa Lightfoot he treats his cars like a new born baby. We couldn't pass up the offer.
We are now proud owners of a Honda Fit! yay for baby milestones.
We ended last week in the company of good friends and the Garrett family (so fun!).
Cameron's wedding united a most of "the Brotherhood."
Funny Fact: All of the couples below are DHS Alumni.
we are thankful.
I love this Rach. I love the tree idea--so like you!
