Sometimes you just have off weeks. I feel like I’m in the middle of one of those right now. The kind of week where things seem to comically go wrong. Where you drop an entire plate of food facedown (yes, this happened. in front of a whole crowd of people), forget your camera at your sister’s apartment (two hours away), totally just forget to do things, and can’t seem to remember to blog for the life of you. And welcome to my life this last week :]

Clearly, it was time for school to be over and to take a bit of a mental break. The beauty of not having a “normal” 9-5 job is that you can value rest a little higher. There are extreme off seasons and extreme on seasons. Right now, I’m in a season that is off. I’m allowing myself to celebrate life, have fun, and be with friends a bit more than normal life would allow. And that is good. Rest is good friends and so is a balanced life. I love that after an exhausting weekend I can purposefully sleep in a bit, read, spend time with my husband, and yes, watch some Netflix :]

Now for some feels:

• My sister graduated this weekend! Ahhh, I am so proud! When I graduated, I just felt an extreme sense of relief. I had made it, never to be in school again, never to spend chunks of my life on something I’m not passionate about again. But for her it was different, she was celebrating her passion and the fact she gets to continue to grow in it! It was so fun to see her and her major walk across the stage proud of all they’d accomplished.
• War is a completely underrated game. (aka the card game that requires no skill and goes on for hours) And also, the perfect way to pass time when hundreds of people are walking across a stage and the one person you know walked an hour ago.
• I am hooked on Doctor Who. Once you get past the sci-fi alien stuff, you get addicted.
• Also, David and I finally finished watching Breaking Bad! Thank goodness! If you want to watch a show that plays with your emotions and will emotionally drain, exhaust, confuse, and torture you. Watch this show. Bonus: it happens to be really awesome.

And here, is my beautiful sister! She did it!
