While walking around Target, I overheard this conversation:
Boy: So you have a king sized bed?
Mom: Yes
Boy: Is a king sized bed bigger than a queen sized bed?
Mom: Yes
Boy 2: Duh?!
Boy: I always thought a queen sized bed was bigger because it seems like girls always get whatever they want
I laughed, out loud, and just smiled at the mom, who replied "Teach 'em young."

The Time Has Come...
...the walrus said, to begin a new blog challenge.
Apparently, I have become quite incapable of updating my blog without a very clear goal, so I have decided to join my friend Grace in a 31 day blogging extravaganza. Obviously, the ideal scenario is to blog daily, but for now, we'll just start with Day 1: Something You Are Looking Forward To This Year.
I believe the answer to today's blog has to be two-fold, one personal and one professional.
On a personal note, I am going on a cruise this November and I am pretty stoked about it. Last year over Halloween I went on a cruise for the first time and I fell in love with that kind of vacation. I am fully aware that it is somewhat mindless and not the "ideal" way to travel and experience another culture, but sometimes that is exactly what vacation should be. It's perfect for getting completely away from normal life and I get to spend a week with some of my favorite people--I win.
Professionally, I feel very blessed that I have a job that allows me to pursue my passions, even if those passions came as a surprise to me. This fall I am heading up some new programs at the Y that will continue to serve the children I work with through Camp G.R.A.C.E. and that is super exciting to me. The Lord has really surprised me with how passionate I am about serving children with special needs and even though I know it will be a hot mess and add to my plate, I can't wait to get things started. Let's be real, a run club, run by a girl who hates running? It's bound to be entertaining!
