Spring Fever

Spring break is slowly but surely making it's way here and I can't wait. There is 3-ish days left until spring break and they are taking forever! In my mind, I cannot believe that it is ONLY Tuesday! The week before spring break is the worst! Every professor either has a paper due, a midterm scheduled, or both, so it's kind of crazy. Despite all the crazinesses of this week, I have found a few things to smile about.

As spring break approaches the only thing I can seem to think about is spending time with my wonderful boyfriend Aaron (though I just saw him yesterday). Aaron and I have been together for almost 5 years (July 26, 2006!) and have a great relationship. He is everything I have ever wanted in a guy and more. This is super cliche, but he has honestly become my best friend and i'm not really sure what i'd do without him. I am extremely excited to spend a few days just relaxing and visiting some of his family with him. I also feel so blessed to have a boyfriend that lives relatively close to me. Aaron and I have never been next door neighbors, but we also have never been separated by more than a 2 or 3 hour drive. I guess I can't really say that we're in a long distance relationship. A few of my friends have boyfriends who live in a different state, so I feel very lucky.

Another great thing to smile about is my friends. My friends are truly amazing. Hands down, I have the best friends in the entire world. They are all so amazing! The smallest things like a trip to Smoothie King, eating dinner together in the KCC, or getting together to watch TV can make my day. Especially during a week like this. My Mom  has told me over and over again that the friends she made in college are still some of her best friends today. I really hope this is true for all of my friends, because they're the type of people you only find once. =)

God is good. It makes me so mad when people say that there is no God just because things aren't going well for them. God is the reason I can still sit here and smile despite being so stressed and run down. I may be tired of school and worried about my midterm grades, but no matter what, I have God. I know that He will not dish out more than I can handle. I am trying my best to give Him thanks and praise even though it's going to be a long week because I know that I can look to God for help and He will make it better. =D So in closing, I'm going to quote a Bible verse from Psalms. This verse has become my motto for this semester and it servers as a great reminder that no matter what I can always look to God. =)

 "I life my eyes to the hill- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth." 

-Psalms 121:1-2
