Hodge Podge kindofa Day.
So today, I'm here to share a little hodge podge.
...A website that I love to check. It's an artist named Jodi Hills who I have always admired. I especially like looking at her "cards and magnets" section. She has the most creative (and sort of quirky) little quotes that I have enjoyed looking at since college. I believe she was introduced to me by my pal, Maren : ).
So just in case you're interested...I think she's worthy of a little shout out.
One of my favorite quotes of hers is....

One of my favorite quotes of hers is....
"She realized she was lucky- because she could actually see it- how the trees got more beautiful each year...how they danced with such graceful pride, surviving each season's change...and she knew their beauty lied not in the perfection, but the growth...and she could see it- in the trees, the people around her, and some days- even in herself...and so she would dance."

...We all need a little room for 'dancing' now and then, I think : ).

Hump Day.
Yes that's right, we're over the hump of our week and I'm here to tell you why I'm especially glad that this fact is true today.
No, it's not simply because we're 60% done with the week, or even the fact that I'm done with class for the week (No Thursday night class!)....the real reason (reasons, rather) for the countdown, is pictured below....
My nieces, Lucy and Paige!

In addition to seeing these cuties, I am also going to get to see my whole immediate family throughout the span of the weekend, while we celebrate in southwest Minnesota with my cousin Michael as he marries his awesome soon-to-be wife, Abby (hope to have pics to follow!).
I'm hoping this weekend will include a few key things...lots of good convos with my sibs, parents, and relatives, as well as some much needed play and snuggle time with my two favorite little ladies (whom, I hope to write more about in future posts!)
Can't wait to see everybody, sometimes Chicago just seems a liiiittle too far away from my WI and MN peeps--this weekend should provide a good fix to that problem!
Hope I can keep the blogging up as I travel?!
