"I live not in dreams, but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future."
~Rainer Maria Rilke

I know what I see- There is grace at work, here.

Spring has Sprung in England! <3

I have returned to England for the final term of my MSc… Only 8 more weeks and I will wave good-bye to an amazing year in Oxford!

And upon returning on April 30th, Oxford greeted me with the most beautiful weather I have seen since moving here… Gorgeous blue skies, perfect temperature, blooming flowers, and bright greens everywhere… It was a gorgeous city under the worst of winters, but now it’s truly impossible to tolerate being inside for more than a few hours of daylight… A condition which is bound to effect my strict Trinity Term exam study schedule sooner rather than later.

So Anna and I soaked up the last weekend of freedom before our ritualized return to the library… We frolicked in the fields, explored every inch of the University parks, and blew dandelions all afternoon… For two Virginia gals, it was practically like being back home in the country… :)
