Exciting weekend!

Oh, wow! I had quite the eventful weekend, full of much exciting and happy news! On Saturday, my cousin delivered her triplets!!!! :) So far, she and the babies are all doing well :) There will be a lot of continued prayer for them so they can grow and come home soon!! My cousin and her husband are two of the kindest people I know, and I (along with MANY other people) am so happy for them and their new family. They're going to be absolutely phenomenal parents.

I received even more magnificent news on Sunday when I found out that one of my best friends at the salon I work at got engaged!!! Jill's fiance did an amazing job choosing her ring. It's absolutely stunning. Jill is such a fabulous person, and I am very excited for her wedding. I know it will be totally glitzy and glam. I am very much looking forward to watching all of the wedding planning over the next year! SO EXCITING! 

Crazy, exciting, happy few days, huh? Today has been quite docile compared to the weekend. I woke up to the rain, which is always a wonderful thing when I'm sleeping in :) Waking up to the rain when you have to get up early has quite the opposite effect!

I've spent much of my day doing schoolwork. I have two longer papers due tomorrow, and they are on topics I'm not exactly excited about. Should be absolutely dreadful. I was eating Starburst jelly beans before and dropped one only to have Ellie snatch it up immediately. When I opened her mouth to retrieve it, I noticed it had gotten stuck on one of her teeth. I had to stick my hand inside her mouth and pull it off- oh, the depth of a mother's love... ;)

Anyway, I've been trying to watch Presidents Day specials to honor the national holiday taking place. Who is your favorite President? I know I've previously mentioned that mine is Lincoln, but I also find President George W. Bush to be extremely charming (Did anyone catch his Oprah episode?). I received his book, "Decision Points," for Christmas, and I am looking forward to reading it someday when school isn't being selfish with all of my time. One of the Presidents, William Henry Harrison, is actually buried about five minutes from my house. He was the ninth President of the United States, and he died only 32 days into his term!!! He spoke too long during his Inauguration speech in the bad weather, and he caught pneumonia. Isn't that depressing?

Happy Presidents Day!!
