Just another winter storm....IN APRIL!

So....this is what we woke up to today....


Yuuuup.  No joke.

But, on a less snowy note, I brought home some new additions to my houseplant collection :)  
YAY, PLANTS!! 


That's all for now...back to that thing called grad school  :]

Shalom,

Say whaaaa????

IT SNOWED AGAIN THIS WEEKEND....


HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!



Ok, freakout is over.  But, seriously...it is the middle of April and it is still snowing up here...thankfully it wasn't much of a dumping, just enough to make us all break out at least a few layers if we just couldn't make ourselves bust out the coats again.


I know...I know...I know............I...know...   I'm way over due for a posting.  I do apologize.  TIGS, y'all, TIGS.


BUT!  I found out this week that I received a little fellowship/grant that I had applied for earlier in the semester, which means that my trip to the Southwestern Research Station this summer is definitely a go (which is a good thing, since they already accepted me for a two week course, yippee!!!)!

Things on the grad school front have been, more than cRaZy...wow, how does one even describe...?

I definitely don't have the mental power to try and put it eloquently, so, here's the reader's digest version:
  • It's crazy
  • I often wonder why I ever thought this was a good idea
  • It is no longer unusual for me to be in the lab until 10pm or later...
  • Dinner?  What's that?
  • Sleep?  I don't think you know how to speak English...
  • Showers?  Overrated...definitely
  • What?  You find it odd that the majority of us have taken up long distance running and do this at least every other day?  I told you things are crazy here...that includes the people
  • Wait...you mean to tell me that you do not often tell someone about something that happened to you this morning only to realize a few minutes later that you just told them about yesterday's morning...?  Hmmm...you must not be from around here.
  • What's a weekend?  Again, I'm not so positive we're speaking the same language.
Yeah...TIGS, 'nuff said.

Anywho, things really are going well, just beyond busy.

My church is such an incredible blessing - solid teaching, solid people who truly try to live out their faith and hold one another accountable in love, beautiful small groups (mine's the best, of course...!) - the Father is definitely glorified here  :)

OK, kiddies...now that you all know that I am still alive and breathing, I'm off to bed.  Tomorrow is a running day!  =)

Shalom!
