simplify, simplify, simplify

It's been a tough week at school.  Lots of drama, lots of work, and morale is at an all time low.  I decided I can't waste what little energy I have left on junk and negativity.  I am going to try to make a pact with myself to stay positive, there are only 3 weeks left of school (what!! what!!), so I have to make it!!!
I saw this funny algorithm and had to share it:

I figured it was a great time to re-evaluate priorities and just. be. happy! Sounds easy enough!
Dan and I are taking these next few weeks to focus on what is really important in our life. (Not that we don't already, but it's easy to not be in the moment when you're drowning in schoolwork.)  Dan starts student teaching March 15th (less than a month away)!!!  Ten weeks after that, he will graduate! Woo! And ten weeks after that, I will graduate! Woo Woo!!!  Hopefully sometime within the next 23 weeks, we can pass school, find jobs, move to a new place and make a baby.  Sounds like a lot, but why not cram a half dozen major life experiences into a few months?!?!?!?! Hopefully, with hard work, patience and countless prayers, our dreams will become reality.
