-St. Augustine

School has started. NBDE Part 1 Boards studying is in full swing (Mocks are this coming Wednesday). Yet, so far, I am totally okay with all of it. 
I started a new devotional. My sister actually recommended it. It is called Jesus Calling and so far, it is awesome. It is helping me to find peace and balance in an entirely new way and I love it. Highly recommend the book if you are in need of a devotional!
Wedding planning is on hold somewhat, but that is totally okay for now. One hurdle at a time. As soon as Boards are over, it will be full speed ahead on the wedding!
I have recently taken up going to the gym on a regular basis BEFORE school. aka around 5:30 am. While it was slightly rough the first few days, I am starting to really like it. a lot. My days start out on the right foot, I'm awake and alert when I get to class, and I have more energy. Plus, I get to spend an entire hour with my fiance, who is currently in the throngs of "busy season" as an external auditor (in other words, sometimes this is the only quality hour I get to spend with him).  Sometimes, I even make it to the gym again after school if I don't have too much studying to do! It's great and I am really looking forward to keeping it up!
The only other major news is that we got a toaster oven. Now, to some people, this is no big deal. Honestly, I have never had a toaster oven- prior to having one I was def one of those people that thought this was no big deal. But we got one at my bridal shower while in Kansas for Christmas. Let me tell you, if you have never seen a toaster oven's powers- you are seriously missing out. It not only toasts toast, it heats curly fries to lovely crispness in little to no time. It doesn't take 15 minutes to preheat like my oven from 1975 (okay, our oven prob isn't that old but it's def no where near new...). I've been told it reheats pizza to perfection- I will have to try this sometime and let you know. Basically, it is speedy, it times itself, and it's small and doesn't turn your apartment into a small sauna like the oven does sometimes. I am currently in love. I'll keep you posted as I continue to discover it's capabilities. 
On another note, the National Championship game is this Monday. My family is going and I am SO excited for them! My mom and dad didn't get tickets, they are along for the ride, but my sister and her boyfriend (who is THE biggest Auburn fan I have EVER met) did. It is gonna be wonderful for them and hopefully the Tigers will be eating Duck for dinner that night! WAR EAGLE!!

Happy Saturday. Enjoy today and take some time to appreciate the beauty, even of winter. Oh, and Happy Cam Newton Day (as declared by the Governor of Alabama!). 
WAR CAM EAGLE.
