So happy to have had these gracing my Instagram feed this morning :)

Yesterday was Downton Day - today was Pemberley Day... fangirl heart rejoice :) :) :)

"Do you hear the people sing?"

I do!! Les Miserables 2012 here I come =)

How I feel about waking up to snow =)

It was amazing!!

Four full days of break

      + Two books read

HAPPINESS!!!

So grateful for friends!

There are some girls here that I have grown so close to, so quickly!

This is Kristina. Oh, and she was nearly crying in this picture because she had just heard Big Ben chime for the first time =)

She is just as much of a nerd as I am--and that is totally a compliment!

Here are several of the girls in the Jane Austen course at our reception dinner at Magdalen college =)

I am so grateful for good friends!

special

What made us feel special when we were little kids? We felt special...

...when someone peeled our apple slices

...when we got a happy meal instead of a regular McDonalds burger

...when we were excused from eating our crust or vegetables

...when our parents bought the real Kool-Aid instead of the generic--just so we could twist off the cap!

...when we got animal crackers in the special, circus box rather than a baggy full of the Costco kind

Why can't the little things of life make us as happy as when we were little?

Lord, help us see and appreciate the smallest of things!
