February just flew by! We had a week off for Mardi Gras and a few surprise days off because of the weather, so my first month of work has been so short. February has also been filled with SO MANY awesome visits with friends that I’ve lost touch with during graduate school. Hooray for free time and no more studying!

Favorite Quote from a Book I Read this Month:
“This felt like the way you get nervous right before something exciting happens-the moment when you’re balanced on the top of the roller coaster, the hush before the surprise party, the second after the diving board but before the water, when you can close your eyes and imagine, for just a second, that you’re flying. The feeling that good things were coming, almost here, any moment now.”
– Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson
