Hello Friends! GOOOOOOODDDDDD MORRNNNNIIIIGGGG! To be honest with you, I am not a morning person at all. It’s hard for me to be up for my 9:30am work meeting. But I can stay up SO late at night which I think is a talent. Okay, maybe not really, but I have been going to bed really late these days. Nevertheless, I want to share my morning routine with you because it has changed a bit due to the fact that I am now living at a house and not on campus.

First off, I get up and get dressed for the day as one would. Next thing I do, which is an essential part of my everyday routine, is make coffee. I have an amazing roommate (shoutout to Noelle) who knows how to make drip coffee. I added in this cute picture of us because she deserves credit for her amazing coffee skills. A lot of the time, she will make coffee for me and her during my meeting. I know, she is truly a saint. But, I do make it for myself sometimes. She has taught me her ways, and I think I can add it to my list of talents now.

For breakfast, we keep it really simple. It kind of depends on whether I am wanting something sweet or savory. My usual go to is two breakfast tacos with eggs, cheese, and avocado. It’s the perfect amount of food to hold me over until a snack around lunch time. But, if I want something sweet, I usually go for a bagel with Trader Joe’s pumpkin cream cheese. I know, some of you think that pumpkin cream cheese is weird. But don’t knock it till you try it, okay. It’s delicious and perfect as we transition to the Fall season. I added a picture of it in this blog for those of you who are interested! It’s worth it!!!

Usually during breakfast, I try to watch a chapel. Doing this has really helped me get my chapels done pretty fast this semester. I only have four left! Doing a chapel in the morning has also been good to start off my day with the right mindset. I really have been loving the chapels lately and I just wanted to share about one that really spoke to me. About two weeks ago, the speaker talked about what wor
