Surprises

I think it would be fair to say that this last month or so has been somewhat difficult for a variety of reasons, and I've been anxiously awaiting spring to move into a new phase of life. Well, it's currently 40 degrees outside and dumping sheets of rain, but there have been some sweet surprises in the last week to tied me over until I can wear shorts and flip-flops.

After two crazy weeks of mid-terms, French compositions, and cranking out job applications, I decided I needed a night to myself to completely relax and unwind. And what do you know, but I come home to a beautiful bouquet of tulips, the next Harry Potter movie I've been wanting to watch, movie snacks, and a sweet note from my adorable, precious (and yet 0h-so-manly) husband James. Thanks love!

And then, a few days later, we received an incredible package in the mail from the Rienstra family - our St. Patrick's Day package. James looks forward to a St. Patrick's Day package for months before St. Patrick's Day, and it was no less true this year. Check out all these green goods!

James was thrilled with his loot, and he even shared some of his black licorice with me. I was also thrilled with this package - thanks family!
