{life} lately

life. it's been a little crazy lately. there are officially 2 weeks + 1 day of classes before the crazy of finals hit & then my first semester of law school will be done **insert fist pumps here** if I let myself think about finals & summer internship applications & all the other future stuff that is thrown at me, the heart-rate quickens and breath becomes shallow. the future is some scary business sometimes that is worsened by hanging around people who are so certain about what their future holds. it is here when I have to stop my brain from going to crazy town & remember what I am thankful for right now.

1. crisp mornings & evenings 
2. law lounge keurig, fall blend coffee, & pumpkin spice chai
3. finding community **finally**
4. parents that love michael & I so well
5. triple dates that are full of encouragement, wisdom, & laughter
6. being 100% at peace about right now
7. comfy flannels + warm vests
8. restful sleep
9. truth that anchors my heart
10. a hard-working, determined, & incredibly thoughtful love

stopping and remembering all that I have to be thankful for right now helps me face that forever-long to-do list with renewed energy & a kick-butt attitude. here's to full schedules, being done with LARW in 16 days, and the light at the end of the tunnel.
