my front porch has been waiting for me!

So for the last four-ish months my front porch has been screaming out to me, "come sit on me! The weather's beautiful, and even if it's not, you should be out here anyway. You should ignore all the work you have to do and just come enjoy outside!" But for the last four months I have sorrowfully walked right on by, giving into the slow, aching pressure of schoolwork.
But today, at last, I walked right up to my front porch, said, "today is the day!" and plopped myself down on our porch swing--because I am officially done with all classwork, etc. for Covenant! All that's left between me and that diploma is a 'little' thing we like to call student teaching....hmmm.
