Christmas Coziness

Girls, I’ve completely embraced the coziness of Christmas break and it has been entirely lovely. As much as I love being at school, I’m loving this month of rest and relaxation…

Waking up slowly. Sipping on cup(s) of coffee. Studying the Word in my pajamas. Wearing comfy clothes all day long. Writing and receiving handwritten letters. Watching television classics. Lots and lots of reading…I’m currently on my sixth book within the last three weeks.

I Love Lucy makes me laugh every single time and I just adore watching The Dick Van Dyke Show with the young Mary Tyler Moore. Ah! These are the best.

 

Pure coziness being in a t-shirt wrapped in a throw blanket.

 

I spent a majority of the afternoon reading yesterday. If you haven’t checked out this book yet, you should! It’s a little lengthy (624 pages), but I couldn’t recommend it more.

 

One last thing, my friend Jasmine just started a blog! She will be completing an internship at an art museum in LONDON next semester. How exciting is that?! Go check her out here and tell her I sent you over...

 

Wishing all of you a cozy weekend as well!

One more week…

Only one more week until my mornings look like the above photo…waking up slowly. Cuddled under a blanket on the front porch with coffee in hand. Digging into the Word. I’m just an teensy weensy bit excited for a month long break away from classes and work.

Since I’ll be home just short of an entire month I want to make sure my days are productive. I know there will be an abundance of relaxation, but I desire for my time off to be fruitful as well. So I decided to come up with a few goals I wish to conquer while I’m at home…

write handwritten letters to friends

blog 3-4 times per week

volunteer in my local community

start applying for the teacher education program

have a skype date with Ameera

read at least six books

apply for scholarships my university offers

continue going through the she reads truth plan on Advent

On a “lighter” note…

spend lots of quality time with my parents

visit Biltmore in Asheville, NC with my momma

drink oodles of hot chocolate

play in the snow (*crossing my fingers for snow!*)

watch an abundance of Christmas movies

I want to leave you with a clip from Gilmore girls that always makes me smile. I feel a lot like this most mornings!

Wishing each of you the sweetest of Tuesday!
