Spring Is Coming

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've blogged, but there are a few things to share, so here goes.... First of all, I am feeling MUCH better now! I've been back to work and school for a week now and am completely over the flu/stomach thing I had going on. I am so thankful to be able to eat food again and to feel hungry, and I am enjoying being able to eat ice cream again. :) I did find out that my sinus cavity is still infected, so the antibiotic to try to clear up the infection did not work. I will be seeing an ENT to see what the next step is, but at this point it is expected that they will want me to have surgery to clean out the infection. Not sure if/when that will happen, but we'll see!

In other news, spring has sprung here in Florida! We have blooms everywhere, and it's so beautiful. I love spring. It's a little different here because it's green pretty much all year and it seems like something is always in bloom, but there is still that bursting to life of flowers and trees, and I love it. I love that God gives us spring to remind us that new life always springs forth from death and that sometimes when we least expect it, we will bloom again. I was going to try to take some pictures today when I got home, but my camera battery was dead, so you'll have to be okay with pictures from my phone. Here are a few examples of what I'm getting to see right now...



Another way that I know spring is arriving is because SPRING TRAINING HAS BEGUN!!!!! Hooray for baseball season not being too far away! And yes, I will be going to a few spring training games. What's the fun of living in the same place where the Braves train if you don't take in a few games? Don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures! :)

This blog could not be complete without a quick picture of my fabulous cat. I've mentioned before on my blog that my cat has her own pillow on my bed that she sleeps on. Think what you will, but it's better that than her trying to curl around my head and sleep on mine while she snacks on my hair. This is a much better solution for us all! Plus, she's so adorable....how can you not smile if you wake up to this?? :)

I will try to post again soon and fill you in on school and what's happening there. For now, I must go get some homework done, eat my yummy dinner of sweet potatoes, squash casserole and chicken tenders cooked in hawaiian marinade, and hopefully sleep some before a very long day tomorrow. Hope each of you is doing well, and as the earth begins to come to life wherever you are, you are reminded of God's faithfulness and how much He loves us!
