Nearly 1 a.m.

I accidentally deleted the photos in this blog. Don't ask me how exactly, but I certainly did it. I'm in the process of adding them back, though, so be patient.

Christmas has come and past. It seems the years are going by faster and faster, though this has indeed been an eventful one. Just this time last year I was planning a move to Hattiesburg, applying for graduate school, and spending my days with three amazing kids.

Now, I live in Hattiesburg, I'm very nearly done with graduate school, and I'm looking at big girl jobs that may take me even further away from the familiar. It's scary, but so was Hattiesburg initially, and that turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

I've been home (1st home) for several days now. I took this week off work, so I don't plan on going back til after the New Year. I've had time to finish a book, The Hunger Games, and I plan on checking out the other two in the the series from the library tomorrow. I'm well into season four of Bleach, an anime series I inadvertently became addicted to. And, I've made some good progress on a knitting project.

I need time like this. Time to be me... to find me. Sometimes I get so caught up in being Grad School Brittany, Work Brittany, Responsible-Pay-the-Bills-and-Buy-Groceries Brittany, I loose some of my essence. I know I've found it again, though, when I feel like my nine-year-old self on summer vacation. Reading until dawn, fantasizing about life, thinking about all the things I want to learn, see, do.

It's the little things that make me happy.
