Happy News in the middle of the Dark, Cold Winter!



I got the above letter in the mail today and seriously, when I opened it, I started to cry. A small part of my many dollars in student loans is officially paid in full. A total of $4,400 has been paid back because I am a teacher. Awesome. I love it. It is some good news in a winter that feels will never end.

I think the February blues are starting in January and that is not a good thing. It snowed yesterday, it snowed today, and I think it just might snow tomorrow. Can I say I am done with snow and winter? I am. I hate shoveling off my steps, and I totally despise jackets. I want my shorts and t-shirt days back! I want to be walking around town in my flip flops not my clunky boots. HATE, HATE, HATE!

If I were to be living anywhere else right now, today, here are some of the places I would like:

1. Australia. I saw some professional tennis that is going on there now and I realized that it is summer there right now.

2. Hawaii

3. San Diego

4. Any tropical island

5. My futon under blankets with the heat pumping. Oh wait, that is where I am right now! :)
