Hello

Hi, I'm still here. Still eating, sleeping, living, and breathing. I've said it before, and I'll go ahead and say it once again, January and February aren't exactly my favorite months of the year. They just sort of blend together in a mostly cold haze, while I fight the urge to stay in my warm bed each morning or wear sweats to school because that is totally against dress code. Otherwise I'd most likely do it. Instead I spend my mornings trying to figure out how many layers of clothing I can put on without looking like the poor kid on "A Christmas Story". Not to mention, in the world of public school kiddos and teachers, they are probably the hardest months of the year. Not only are they stressful and insanely busy, with the promise of looming standardized tests, but they are a long way from spring and warmer weather and summer. :)

I've also been spending a lot of time reading and studying and praying this past week, and kind of unplugging. It seems like we are constantly plugged in. Our phones, our computers, our t.v.s . . . facebook, twitter, blogs . . . it's never ending, and sometimes I think we all need a break. Don't get me wrong, I love the internet, but I guess right now is one of those times I just feel like I need to spend a little less time on the world wide web. But don't worry, I'm sure I'll be back in full swing soon enough.

So if my posts are a little scarce for a while, don't worry. I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. I'm just hibernating until spring. ;)
