Today is the first day of our semester and the last Monday that there is no school until May! We’re about to enter into the 2nd semester of David doing the grad school thing and another semester of us pulling an incredible balancing act. But we’re heading into it with good schedules and priorities and a strong desire to “live full” and live slowly the next few months. I’m thankful for that, definitely.

I’m so ready for the students to be back! I always get a little overwhelmed by beginnings, but seeing the students from the ministry at church always gets me excited! I’m feeling pretty pumped to set some office hours and my Cru schedule and get in that routine mode. After the craziness of the last month, I’m really looking forward to a schedule! This last week was spent doing fun, restful things with Cru staff, mostly eating, and catching up on editing. I’m just excited to settle in. Balance is good friends.

Also…random announcement. I’ve officially booked 12 weddings for 2015! (just as many as 2014) I’m floored, honestly. I’ve so thankful for the wonderful couples we’ll be working with in 2015 and am looking forward to adding a few more :]

Now for feels:

• The times that weren’t spent working this last week…were spent playing Dominion. David and I are officially hooked on this game.
• Also they’ve been spent watching Friends. We are on season 7. And Netflix released Friends on January 1st. Don’t do the math…
• David and I basically have a dance party every time we get in the car and hear “Uptown Funk.” Being married is awesome for many reasons, and random car dance parties are towards the top of the list right now :]
• “Kaitwin, this is an orange, NOT a ball.” is always what you want to hear from your friends’ 3 year old  after rolling an orange across the table. Good looking out, Colette.
• We finally saw Into the Woods! SO that’s basically what I’ve been listening to since Thursday :]

The Handley wedding comes to the blog Wednesday! What a sweet start to 2015.
