April is Here!

It's finally April - bring on the summer!

It's when I realized that it was officially April that I realized a few things:

1) It has been awhile since I last blogged and figured I better write a blog.
2) My busiest semester is finally in the final 4 weeks! (Classes are done the week of the 14th and finals are the week of the 21st.)
3) I will be turning a year older in less than 5 days!

In the last year, life has been full of up's and down's...as life usually is.  I'm officially almost done with my first year of graduate school and while there are days that do not apply, I feel that it has gone by super fast for the most part!  The move to Kalamazoo has been a good fit for both of us, and we still wait to hear from Findley about school for Luke.

There is something about this upcoming birthday that is making me feel restless.  I'm not even sure what it is, I'm only going to be 24, but I feel very unsettled about it.  I think its a matter of wanting my 20's to be the healthiest and fun years.  While "fun" is an appropriate term to describe things thus far, I don't believe "healthy" applies here.  Maybe this is what is unsettling about this upcoming birthday.  I want to change that this year.  I want to work hard to be healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually.  In the hustle and bustle of things, I have lost my healthy balance between work, school, life and my relationship with God.  I'm going to claim it back this year - it's a promise that I'm making to myself.

In the mean time, I baked and decorated a cake for me and my sister's birthday celebration tonight. I think it turned out good being my first decorated cake. :)
