Some things:

For some reason, it hit me yesterday that we are going to India. In 9 days.

We.

Are.

GOING TO INDIA.

Me.

In INDIA.

In LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.

Obviously this has totally hindered ANY AND ALL ABILITY FOR ME TO WRITE COMPLETE SENTENCES AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ME LOSING THE ALL CAPS!


Poor husband.

(It's okay though because he is on pain killers which means I can say things like "Oh! I totally forgot I already had dessert tonight!" as I scoop ice cream...to smother my amazingly delicious homemade oatmeal cream pie... but instead of being embarrassed, I just thought, "Ehh. I'll just deny this later and say you were ((legally)) hallucinating." Marriage rocks.)

Also? I decided this was a really good time to join Twitter. Obviously.

ALSO? Adam said last weekend that we are allowed one carry-on each. For a two week trip. ACROSS THE WORLD. I was all "LOL! Good one!" until he said, "Sara. I'm serious." And then I was like "ohhhhh craaaaap!" 

...so how are you?

Lately I've Been Loving:

• This for online list-making and instant Post-It access. It has changed my life. CHANGED MY LIFE, PEOPLE. If you are a Type-A planner and don't mind having "one more thing"...this is for you.
• Discovering healthy food that actually tastes delicious! And doesn't take hours to make! And doesn't make me buy a bunch of healthy ingredients that I don't even know how to pronounce! (Okay confession: I actually didn't know how to pronounce "quinoa" until about 4 weeks ago. KEEN-WA my friends. KEEN-WA.)
• Finding excuses to make really, really, really extremely delicious sweet treats that are NOT healthy but ARE totally freaking amazing and will jolt you awake the next morning when you calculate just how many cookies you consumed the night before. Ohhhhh myyyyyy gooooodnesssss. Please don't make me confess that number publicly.
• This book. Go read it. You will not be sorry. (Unless you are the non-fiction type like my husband and are all "I just don't really get into fiction" to which I say, *HUGE EYEROLL*. Also I love you.)
• Planning, thinking, dreaming about our upcoming adventure in India. The other day Adam said, "I think this will be a growing experience for us." I think he's right. To all those who are making this experience possible, thank you.

Resurfacing.

G!

YOU GUYS. We have had such a crazy whirlwind life lately! I mean that in a "we are currently getting vaccinated for rabies" kind of way. Soooo yeah. The whole bat thing? Worst nightmare.

I promised my mom I wouldn't write anything really stupid on the Internet so unfortunately friends, I will have to leave the story there. (Hi Mom! See? I do listen!) Suffice it to say that it has been an incredibly frustrating past two weeks. But, we have survived. And in the midst of icky circumstances, we have seen the light of kindness shining through. To those of you out there who have been those light-bearers, thank you.

In other news, I finished a final last week and promptly realized um, APRIL!? Where did you go?! And how is it May?! And how is it that we are leaving for India in a few weeks?!

And who has been squatting in our apartment, throwing things here and there and forgetting to wash dishes and leaving expired milk in our fridge?!

?!?!?!!?


In the midst of all the craziness, I have been growing more and more excited about our upcoming adventure. If you'd like to learn more about our India trip, jump on over!

I hope spring is being good to you friends.

...OH! I almost forgot! I made these apple crisp muffins a few weeks ago and they are SO INCREDIBLE! Please go make them immediately! I had to make a few tweaks to the recipe since I didn't have everything on hand and they still turned out great! (I used regular flour, regular sugar, and honey instead of maple syrup.) Enjoy!
