Valentine's Day & Grad School

I hope y'all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! It's important to realize this holiday isn't just about being lovey dovey with a significant other. To me, it's about celebrating anything in your life that you love or that represents love in your life. Yes, that very well could be a significant other. I sure do love mine -- even if we aren't able to spend this day together.
But for me, love is a lot of other things. Love is: -pink & red m&ms -puppy snuggles -finding time to call your family -snagging the last of your size in a beautiful shirt -hugs from five-year-olds -finishing a good book -remembering birthdays -father-daughter dances -the smell of rain -reading to a child -cuddly kittens -sending snail mail -a homemade gift -a wordless hug -singing at the top of your lungs in the car -a strand of pearls -a vanilla scented candle -taking a walk together -telling someone they are appreciated -adopting a rescue animal -a random act of kindness

  What does love mean to you?
 I certainly wish I could spend today with my valentine, but instead I'm going to celebrate in kindergarten! I am very excited :)
I'm alsooooo excited because I finally heard back about graduate school! I was accepted to Mary Baldwin College in Virginia into their Graduate Teacher Education program!! I am thrilled to have this opportunity. I'll start the program this summer and be done in 2 year - with my masters degree & teaching license! AH!
It's definitely been a good week on my end!
Have a sweet, loving day! Happy Valentine's Day from me to you!
