Hello there! It’s felt like the longest time since I sat down and wrote a blog post. That might be because it has been a while- almost three weeks. I don’t think I have ever taken that long of a break from blogging, but I just knew anything I produced was not going to be very high quality or even coherent. Life was busy. The last published post was our couples shower, and since then, I wrapped up the club I am the president of for the semester, went to watch UTK play in Lexington, finished a lot of last minute wedding details, wrote so many thank you cards from our two bridal showers (so blessed to say I am not even finished yet!), finished my senior capstone class (my group won!), interviewed for a spring internship (more to come on that soon!) and tried to fit in exercising, socializing, working more than 20 hours a week at my internship and fulfilling my role as an ambassador at my college.
Whew.
Thankfully, I have the best support system in the world. Preston, my mom, my roommates and so many of my friends kept me going through the past three weeks, and I truly couldn’t have done it without them. I also feel I was receiving so much grace from God, because it wasn’t until the beginning of this week that I really started feeling the toll of all these activities. Now that I am on the downhill slope to the end of the semester, and the wedding, I feel so thankful for my life.
During all these activities, the blog would pop up on my mind every Tuesday or Thursday when I didn’t have a post to publish. Luckily, every time a blog post idea came to mind, I created a draft, so I have a few ideas to get back to regularly scheduled programming around here.
As I write this, I have just finished a really great class at barre3, came over to see Preston at the condo, made a coffee in the Nespresso machine we received at one of our showers and am snuggled on the couch listening to the rain. It’s honestly my ideal situation. I have prioritized little moments like this during this month, which also explains my lack of posts on Instagram- there have been no pretty outfits or beautiful moments to grab pictures of, but I am so, so thankful for this break and reset time, and I am looking forward for what’s to come!
