Ever feel like there is no time to catch your breath? That's how I feel and have felt these past couple weeks. I have really enjoyed my classes this semester but they seem to have a lot of busy work and textbook reading...I feel like I'm in high school again. But seriously, the past little while and the rest of this month is booked full, no joke I think every day has something due for me or for Curt if not both. I find it interesting that Friday and Saturday aren't very appealing anymore. The funny thing is is that we have always enjoyed Sundays, but nowadays we are dreaming and counting down until they arrive! But through this busy time we are trying to find things to be grateful for, so here's the list...
#1 Having each other and the opportunity & means to get an education! (we have to remind ourselves sometimes)
#2 Having Sundays where we can take school off our minds and enjoy the beauty of the Sabbath
#3 Being so busy that time seems to fly...really it's already February?
#4 Having my Mom to call EVERY DAY, I'm sure she is sick of it
#5 Getting the minutes to escape on a date night or the Temple
#6 Studying scriptures & the Ensign
#7 The funny things we do & say when we're stress (the other day Curt was teasing me and I was very gullible, so I called him gullibully, totally not meaning too!)
#8 Jordan to write to & think about, we put together a package for him today & I hope he won't get in trouble for having a Nerf gun(:
#9 Realizing that we have a month down of this semester & only a little more than that until spring break
#10 Looking forward to spending time with my Mom this weekend! (this really should be closer to the top)
Anyways I'm going to try to think positively, it reminds me of what Elder Wirthlin said, "Come What May & Love it"....I think it's the best solution!(: Wish me luck....

Bestest of Luck to you in catching your breath! ;) You are so awesome! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteMy honest opinion, I always used to think things would get less busy and then more things come. It is endless I tell you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you can see 10 great things amid your busyness : )
That was perfect for me, that is exactly how we've been feeling too so it is nice to have someone to remind us of all the good things that come from being so busy right? haha, thanks Jacque :D
ReplyDeleteJust keep breathing is my best advice!!! Just keep breathing. You are amazing and I am so in envy of your ability to get things done and done so well. I can't wait until Friday I simply can't wait. I love you both.
ReplyDeleteGullibully?!? Hahahahah I need to call Cody that when he picks on Steph. It's classic. And counting your blessings is always a great way to see up. I know what you mean about life never stopping. Its like being in a hurricane and trying to find the eye of the storm.
ReplyDeleteJust remember to find the sunshine, and choose to be happy.
Jacque, you have such a wonderful positive attitude towards life and all that it throws at you. I love reading you blog cause you never complain. So glad you were able to spend time with your mom, cause I know she was so excited to spend time with you.
