Beautiful Day

Hey groupies,

I appreciate all the smartphone love, it truly is such a gift and since I waited so long, I do not take it for granted one bit! Today is a beautiful day and I got to hang out with my friend, Reese (pics below), who will turn 3 in a couple of weeks.  She is so special to me and helps me fulfill my well-bring practice of spending time with kids.  It is so life-giving to me and today with the sunshine was double-awesome!  We ate lunch outside and went on a bike ride :)

I have been doing well with exercising too (3 times this week) bc it's starting to get warmer out and this is helping my stress level for sure.  Also my praying is getting better but I still need to be intentional about doing it every day.

So miraculously, both of my classes were cancelled on Wednesday (which I needed to work on my 10-page paper due Thurs..thank you Jesus!) but I did not need to wake up early. So I did the experimentation with one really solid night of rest on Tuesday night and it was so great!  I felt like a different person when I woke up and although I usually get a good amount of sleep, not having an alarm wake me up made my whole day!

I know we are all so busy, but I'd love to make lunch/dinner work.  Can you guys grab lunch at the Chipotle at Fairfax corner on April 20th?
