Day 29: Three wishes

It's storming, Brooke's napping, and my brain says no more homework. Time to blog.

1. I wish I was finished with grad school so I could devote my nights to my family instead of homework. I started this degree a year and a half ago, and I still have a year and a half to go. Going part time is the only way I could swing it and still be a good mom and wife (which of course, it always my top priority). I feel like I have been in school forever. Come on self, wasn't four years of undergrad enough torture? You just had to go back for more didn't you?




2. I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller....oh, excuse me, sub-intentional flashback to the 90's there. What I meant to type was that I wish I could spend all my down time devouring Interior Design magazines, books and tackling room projects. There is nothing quite like a well decorated room.





3. I wish it was good timing to go ahead and start working on giving Brooke a brother or sister. Can we say baby fever? I know if we have another baby before I finish grad school, I'll probably go insane, but I am so ready (and so is Brooke, I know this because I asked her). I guess this circles back to number one, which makes it a good place to end this post.

Day 24: Something I've learned

Well, thankfully I've learned lots, but that doesn't mean that I don't still have lots to learn! There are so many directions a blogging gal like myself could go with this question. I could tell you about the fascinating facts pertaining to the human psychological condition I've learned about in graduate school. I could tell you about some new creative projects I've attempted thanks to checking out decorating books from the fabulous library. I could tell you about the latest books I have read, mainly focusing on food, and how much we as Westerners are really getting it wrong in this area. If I really wanted to write a book, I could tell you about the vast amount of information I have learned from my (almost) two year old- she's a great teacher! All of those subjects would make for great posts, but the most important thing I've learned is this:

I have learned I am nothing without God. I have learned life is not about me, it's about HIM.

May I use every breath of every day to somehow bring glory to my creator!

Day 23: Changing the rules because I can

If only I were one of those people who could leave something unfinished, but alas, I am the furthest personality type from the go-with-the-flow mentality. If I were one of the easy going individuals that I often admire in so many ways, I would stop this little blogging challenge right now. Fun as it may have started out, I've grown weary of the dull subject matter and have concluded that these types of questions, although fun to answer in a quick email survey taken while avoiding homework or housework, become lackluster as the challenge progresses. We all like to talk about ourselves, but for thirty days straight? I think even Zoolander may have grown tired of the daily personal divulgence. With that being said, I confess again that I am unable to just quit without seeing something out until the end. So I'm compromising. I will "finish" the challenge by answering only the days left that I so choose to answer.

Day 30: 5 good things that happened since you started the challenge

As you may see, I have chosen to pass on all except days 24, 29, and 30. If I am reading (and counting) right, that means I only have three days of the challenge left!
