So. Yesterday I turned the big 2-5. I know, I know, 25 isn’t that old, but to me, it feels old. One quarter of a century down. Already done with college, working, moved across the country, married. All those things still seem so far away in my mind, yet I know that they are true. They’ve already happened. I love my life, don’t get me wrong. I just can’t believe that I’m already 25. That age always seemed so incredibly old when I was growing up. I thought I would have my whole life figured out by this point – how little I knew back then!

The Power of Paying Close Attention
Hello! Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. The weather has been absolutely perfect here – high sixties and sunny! I love it! If I can’t have snow, this is a great alternative ☺
It’s been a pretty low key weekend over here, which was much needed. Saturday night we went to this awesome restaurant in Fort Worth with some friends called Joe T Garcia’s. Let me tell you – best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. Amazing chips and salsa too! And the majority of the restaurant was outside in a garden-like area with lots of plants, fountains, etc. – so cool! I would definitely recommend it.

Grapevine Lake – Grapevine, Texas
Hello! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far. It has been beautiful here in Texas – sunny and 73 degrees today! Not quite like the January’s I am used to, but if I can’t have snow, this is next best for sure. James and I got to get out and do a little bit of hiking/walking around Grapevine Lake this morning, which was really fun! Grapevine Lake is really beautiful, and is actually really close to our apartment – bonus!

One Small Goal at a Time Leads to Success
Hello! Hope you all are having a wonderful start to your 2014! I’m still getting used to writing 14 instead of 13 – it always takes me a little while to adjust. So, after further consideration of my list of goals for this coming year, I’ve come to the conclusion that some of them are quite lofty. In fact, I’ve already failed at several of them. Ha. But you know what? I’m okay with that. I realize that I am only human, and that I will never be perfect at everything. I will fail time and time again, and yet, I have learned to be okay with that. Because God teaches me just as much through the failures as he does through the successes. The successes are undoubtedly more fun, but the failures are most definitely necessary.
