At this moment I hear laughing behind me with the words that anyone who has a hard time waking up wants to hear, "Looking for coffee? Let me make you some baby."
Thank goodness for Leah Shafer :)
With coffee in hand, pandora hymns playing, and the shades pulled up, I set out on a search of pinterest to figure out what I would bake for breakfast. And then I found it, homemade bagels!
Step by step, I mixed all the ingredients, kneaded the dough on the counter for ten minutes. Put the dough into eight equal pieces. Let the pieces rise for twenty minutes. Rolled them into circles. And now they are rising for another twenty minutes.
Slowly my roomies rose from their bedrooms and bathrooms in wet hair, towels, and robes.
I kept kneading.
I know I'm weird, but stay with me now.
As I wait for the dough to rise some more I can't help but feel this sense of joy in my heart. It's Friday morning, dough is rising, hymns are playing, and it's cloudy out. I know I say this a lot in my posts, but I can't believe that there is only eight weeks left of my college career. It's insane.
These moments are special though and they won't always be here. I want to embrace everything right now in this moment. In the future, I'll be sitting in the middle of a little coffee shop with the ocean nearby, and three five year olds playing with chalk. And I won't be in Santa Barbara folks, I will be on the Southern coast of Spain. And that will be my new reality. Soon this won't be my reality anymore and soon school won't be here. That's crazy.
Alright my loves, it's time to check back on my dough! Have a wonderful Friday and I'll see you soon :)
