On Friday on my way home from my last day of my practicum I completely lost it. Every set of lights I passed through I was bleary eyed and I was upset for the balance of the day. I know I get attached to the kids I work with way too easily, but I really can’t help it. They find a way to work themselves into your heart and their smiles are a constant reminder. So for now I’ll be...

I woke up this morning and felt love
I had a wonderful night last night. Sarah and I went out for dinner and then for coffee and to look at books. We reminisced about our first date and when we first started talking. It feels like that was yesterday or ages ago. She still makes me feel giddy when I even just think of her. To me, she is love, and I hope I can still say that months from now.
needless to say I'm looking forward to the next...

I love the moments in life that just hit you. My favourite as of right now is when I get these rushes of happiness and an instant smile, and I just know that life is pretty darn grand.

i'm looking forward to..
Christmas next year! I won’t have anymore homework/school stress. I can take my time decorating, making cards, going shopping, spending time with family & friends, baking cookies, and all the other tiny things that go along with Christmas. The past few years I have been so stressed and rushed at holiday time that I haven’t enjoyed it like I’d like to be able to. One year one...
