Going into February, I was intimated knowing there was fewer days to get everything done that I wanted to complete, especially with a goal list this long, and a wedding to-do list even longer. However, I feel like I truly accomplished a lot of my goals and am anxious to see what else I can complete in March! Plus, there’s something about unusually warm days that motivates me even more to tackle some of the more tedious tasks (ahem, taxes). Jody and I were able to get a schedule going again now that his classes in full swing, which allowed for us dedicate uninterrupted time to spend together. Coming up, we are looking forward to several nights away this month; a girls weekend to attend a Beth Moore conference, and a trip to Virginia to celebrate our friends’ wedding! I’m hoping we will be able to slip over to Washington D.C. one day to get a peak at the Cherry Blossoms too.
