Happy Valentine’s Day! Who is ready for the half-price candy tomorrow? I totally don’t think that is the best part or anything…

While I sit on campus waiting for my next class, I thought I would update you on what’s happening! All three of you who read this. We are a month into the semester here at Santa Fe and I am loving my classes! Call me weird, but I enjoy school and the assignments that accompany it. Currently I am taking 5 classes (2 regular, 3 honors) and looking forward to graduating with my Associates in May! Here is a picture from my ballet/dance class and a picture from a gallery opening:

I have been busy with the Saint Bernard Newspaper as a founding member, editor and PR manager! We are looking to publish our first paper in the next week or so, so I will make sure to keep you updated. Once we have the website up and running I will be sure to share it with you. Other extra curriculars include the Engaged Leadership program with school, Phi Theta Kappa (an honor society), and an honors research project with a professor! At the University of Florida I attend Delight, a women’s Bible study where I have met some great friends – this has been a huge blessing during the past semester and I continue to look forward to what God is doing. In fact, I have a meeting tonight.

Beyond that, I am also looking forward to a craft fair in April! My crochet bestie and I will have a table for all our stuffies at the 51st Annual Spring Art Festival (they estimate 10,000 people visiting!). I have shared photos of a couple on Instagram, but I will make a blog post about them soon.

You probably already know this, but I am going to Cuba over spring break with my church! There we will be visiting a partner church. We are in the thick of fundraising, and I am planning a pickleball tournament for March with the church to help out. If you are in Gainesville, Florida, I invite you to come out!

To close, I am also enjoying babysitting, movie nights, and coffee dates with friends! Phew, I am sorry if that update is exhausting! Before I go, I am going to share five things I have been loving this past month.

Listening to Racing Lives with Aurelie Donzelot (I have listened to every. Single. One. over the past month) (and if you finish this one, I also like Going Purple with Lissie Mackintosh)

Reading Jenny B. Jones’ new book First to Fall! Hers is one of the six books I have managed to get through this year, and it was by far THE BEST.

Watching the new season of Clarkson’s Farm. So funny.

Wearing a new-to-me thrifted striped turtleneck. I find one thing and will wear it everyday for a month, then throw it in my closet to either sell or let it sit there until I have a new-found love for it.

Eating fruit snack literally every day. I have a new-found love for them, and its weird.

You’re welcome for those random tidbits and I hope you have the most amazing day!
