Find some stability in the midst of chaos

If my boyfriend and I were Polar Bears, this would have been us this weekend. I went to visit him in college for our one year anniversary and we shared a lovely weekend that consisted of mostly snuggling, hiding indoors from the biting wind (the fact that ABC Family had a Harry Potter weekend only added to my motivation to stay indoors). We ventured outside, though, to play a few riveting rounds of pool on Saturday (all of which Trevor won) and spent the morning in the student center studying, calling it quits after only about an hour to trek over to the nearest Domino's to get our "usual" - a medium cheese pizza and an order of Cinnastix. I suppose, as lame as it sounds, that would be my word of advice for this weekend (I feel like I'm just getting lazier and lazier with these words of advice): Pick something and stick with it, make it a symbol of normalcy in a life of chaos.

Trevor and I, for instance, started our Domino's tradition - something that's stuck with us, something we know will always happen, no matter what. This all started on our vacation to Orlando in August when we woke up starving. Since then, we've ordered Domino's once per visit. I used to think I embraced change, I used to think I hated patterns and that sense of same-ness, but now, I welcome anything that represents a pattern, such as this. It gives me something to lean on.

I hope everyone's staying warm!

Keep calm,

Sarah
