Five on [a Spring] Friday

1.

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!

2.

I have been floundering in my devotionals. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Jesus Calling and Jesus Today, but I've been having trouble focusing on the readings and feel like I should be doing something more Lent centered too. I had kind of just started to stay focused on my prayer journal. 

And then I found She Reads Truth.

I know I'm probably late to the party on this but I cannot say just how amazing it is. I love that they have an Instagram picture to reinforce the devotional from that day. I already have one hanging on my office wall. The Lent series is wonderful and I am so glad I found this devotional.

This weekend we celebrate this sweet baby snake's birthday.

I cannot imagine my life without Sophie and still drive to my parents on random nights after bad days just to get some snuggles with this smidge. I love you Sophie, even when you put your paw down my shirt.

March Madness started yesterday and while I was underwhelmed with the seedings this year I was emotionally exhausted after all the upsets and buzzer beaters and OTs yesterday. We've got the office bracket challenge going again this year and I must say the Media girls are killing it so far.

The new Young Rising Sons song Turnin' is speaking to my mid-20's soul this week.

Give it a listen.

chasing these empty verses

some rows have crooked signs

we're loosing all this daylight

but soon the moon's gonna rise

these final puzzle peices

we tried but they're too tight

but if we ease the pressure

I bet they'll fit just right

March Madness, also known as Basketball PMS

  IT'S HERE! March Madness, baby. Woke in an epicly foul mood, changed my bracket three times in under an hour, and the heartburn is working itself up. God, I love these next two weeks. I may have gone to Tennessee, but I was raised to yell profanity in the name of the Pitt Panthers. Dad went to Pitt for undergrad and grad and when your first stuffed animal was a Pitt Panther that sang the fight song when you squeezed it's stomach well, you're branded fo life. We're an 8 seed this year. Were hoping for a 6 seed. We've been a #1 seed, twice. BUT, silver lining, we did have a player make Cosmopolitan's March Madness Hotties list (embedded below, page 8). And to top it off I had another Twitter "celeb" encounter when both Cosmo and Tray Woodall tweeted me back after mentioning how with this combo my two worlds had finally collided. So here's to hot point guards, Pitt busting some brackets my own included and if all else fails a team from the original, now former, Big East winning it all!
