If you haven't been to a vineyard and done some wine tasting with good friends and delicious cheeses, then I recommend that you do that asap! I think I ate my weight in brie and loved every. minute. of. it.

Chair in progress.....woot woot!
So the comfy cozy corner chair is in order! I have BIG ideas for our apartment but we are also on a BIG budget, so where does that leave the comfy cozy corner chair you ask? Why on Craigslist of course. I have been perusing the interweb for a couple of days and stumbled upon the perfect tufted, neutral, cozy, grandmother chair for TWENTY-FIVE dollas (pronounced in Boston accent)! Spruce it up with a cute pillow, nice blanket, and it's just as great as the Urban Outfitters 600$ velvet fainting couch!

Well hello there....
So sorry for leaving you hanging there for a few days! The past couple weeks have caught me way out of routine with our trip to Boston and then a week of intensive classes. Being a creature of habit, this has let the blog run to the wayside, not to say that I haven't been thinking about my readers! (is it too soon to call you that?)
Several times this week I have had post ideas that I have meant to jot down and write about, but it seems a little overwhelming to tackle all of them right this second. So...... I am just going to give you a peak at what I have been thinking about:
1. Decorating our new place! The furniture that we currently have is not all going to fit into our new apartment, and there are a couple things that we are going to need to make the place work. Making furniture fit around radiators and maximizing our storage space will make for a new challenge. I stumbled upon this blog, Small Space Style, that looks at some creative decorating and space saving ideas.
Also, instead of having a dining room we are going to have a library/study/sitting room, and I have already found the perfect reading corner to curl up in.....so of course I need the perfect chair! Is it weird that I am looking at this velvet fainting sofa? (sorry for the tiny pic)
Picture it, dogs in lap, yummy blanket, morning coffee, good book.... just dreamy
2. To Do!!
This is my list. I made it to give me a good idea of what needs to be done between now and August, but honestly I have a small anxiety attack whenever I look at it.
3. Let's get organized. It's time to purge! I have the itch that comes only a couple times a year. Maybe it's because we will be making a new nest in a couple months but I am ready to buy some intense containers and invest in a label maker.
What are you up to?

This week is cra-zay. I was on campus from 7 am until 9:30 pm so I don't have much to share, unless you want to hear about the exciting research I am doing on the following topics:
1. Natural Family Planning
2. Lesbian Healthcare
3. Prenatal Depression and its cause of preterm deliveries
4. Pregnant Adolescents and birth control
After learning about all of that I came home, snuggled with these nuggets
Kissed this man
And hit the hay!

A thought
I have been wanting to write a post in response to last week's devastation left by the tornados but honestly haven't been all too sure of what to say. Many times I typed words on a page, hoping that I would have the perfect thought to reconcile what devastated so many, but that thought never came.
Instead all I know is this
God is sovereign and that He is merciful and just!
But....... I also know that my heart cries "why"?
Why destruction?
Why fear?
Why suffering?
Why death?
Why brokenness?
Maybe it's not for me to answer "why," but to know that God does. Maybe it's not for me to find peace but to have peace in finding that He is sovereign. For today, I will rest in His promises and not why.
How do you respond to the "why" question?
