Back to the grind

Well, we made it back to Philly. I'm not yet sure if that is a good thing. I suppose it is. Home was good, and a much needed break and breath of fresh air. It's amazing to me how you can get in a rut, just the rut of daily life, and the only way to gain new perspective on it is to remove yourself from it for a while. You get so caught up in the day to day that after a while it doesn't even register in your mind until you can pause for a little bit and then start over.

With that perspective, I can say that though being back in Philly may not be worth throwing a party over, I feel much better being here than before we left. It's not so bad to be able to come back to sunshine and 50-60 degree weather. I like this time of year here, everything is starting to get green, but the humidity and the heat hasn't picked up yet, jeans and a sweatshirt feel great. It's that time of year you can get away with driving around with the windows down and the heat on to keep your fingers warm. Life seems to be picking up speed, daylight savings is right around the corner, and my classes are pouring on the work.

Everything seems to be happening now. Ireland is only 6 weeks away, our anniversary is while we are there, but yet there seems to be so much more that needs to happen before we can leave - Multiple research papers, exams, reading, book reports, bible study prep, throw a wedding or two in there, and Boom! - summer is here. Yikes.


Almost looks like summer doesn't it?
