Happiness is...
Answered prayers.
If He answers prayers, He's increasing faith.
If He delays, He's increasing patience.
If He doesn't answer, He has something better for you.
Well, I'm the lucky one who got my faith! My life is yours, Lord.

Care packages
Happiness is...
Care packages. I can handle anything else that comes up this week, because I've got love from my friends. Booya.
Included:
- Bath salts
- Candy
- Journal
- Magnets
- Wall hanging
- Blank notes
- Gift cards
Let's see... what could make it better? Oh yeah, if I had all my friends in that box too. But for now, I'll take it.

Laundry
Happiness is...
When you finish your laundry and recover an old friend in a twenty dollar bill. Suddenly, you're rich! (not because you didn't already have it, but because you were absent minded for a week or two)... funny how those things work out.
I like to think there are laundry gnomes, waiting to steal the other sock in the pair or to hide my favorite t-shirt. But apparently they don't understand true monetary value. Lucky me.

Good News!
Happiness is...
Good news, at last.
The multitudes of pieces in graduate school astound me.
God has been great lately. I have been in the process of interviewing with assistantships that would help fund graduate school, because without them it would have to be all loans (my current job is not salaried). I thought that was what God was telling me, that it'd be easy. It wasn't. I wasn't sure how I was expected to continue life as is when I would be trying to pay for grad school. But I thought one of the assistantships would come through, so I continued walking where I thought he was leading me. When it got to the last week I still had no answer, and wasn't sure when I would get one. I took a leap of faith.
There was still no hope... but I felt at peace, and I think that's a God thing. I'm glad to say that I got the call at last today---I got an assistantship with an office on campus that will fund my studies! ...I learned from the last few months. I finally understand putting my trust in God instead of only half believing he has control. I learned patience, perseverance, obedience, and the most faith I could have ever dreamed of. I learned that things don't have to go your way for you to know they're going. He has his hand in my life, and I couldn't be more blessed!

St. Patty's
Happiness is...
Wearing green. And chasing friends around to pinch them, may they never forget to wear it too.
Reading through a few Irish blessings to begin your morning.
Seeing the school covered in different shades of emerald, and different attempts at accents and sayings.
Sitting down to a nice, possibly green, frothy refreshment.
Corn beef and cabbage.
Imagining the fun being had.
Happiness is St. Patrick's Day. Man, am I ever proud to be Irish!
