Quick Vacation in the Sun

Hey, here's a question: do you find that you become more irrational than usual when it's closer to night time? I always know that if I am stressing out about something and imagining my life is ending and wanting to crawl back to my mom's house it is usually when the stars come out. I don't know the science behind it, but I can testify that winter will make people miserable because the sun goes down at 5:20! Basically, by the time I get home from school/work, my husband gets the Lindsey that is slightly stressed out. Sorry hun! 
Anyways. So it's the 4th day of the first week of my last real semester and I'm finally getting used to the idea. I'm not thrilled with all of the classes I have, but that's what happens when you procrastinate the courses you didn't want to take until your senior year. 
Last night I was in my little stressed out mode and I realized I wasn't going to finish my mental to-do list. My husband is amazing at making me feel better though by lightening the situation and talking me through my frustrations. By the end of the night I had said a little prayer and felt way too calm for my mind at night. It was crazy. In a good way. 
I love getting reminders to go with the flow and understand that nothing is a big deal. Honestly, that is my mantra. When I have knots in my stomach from the millions of presentations I have to give in my major or seeing the dirty dishes and knowing I'm not going to get to them before bed or realizing I have to start real life soon, I say to myself, "Go with the flow. It's not that big of a deal". Hey, it works when it's coupled with a prayer.
So, this post has been sitting in my drafts for quite a while and it's time it met some readers! Its an update from our Thanksgiving in St. George and our Christmas in Arizona. Even though that was months ago, I like looking at the sun in these pictures and imaging the snow is gone outside. 
Also, I really like mountain biking.
