Ruby
A few weeks ago my brother was working in Nashville and took me to lunch (McAlister's!). We were talking about my blog and why I had an entire post for Sally and not Ruby. Well, Ruby is not my dog. I love her, but she belongs to Jason and Jessica. I told him they should just start a blog and then Ruby could have post after post after post! He thought it was a pretty good idea. Let's see if it happens. :) Until then...here is sweet Ruby from last summer. I love this picture of her and summer is just around the corner! Happy now, Jason?! See you all Friday!!

Jones 1 Owl Babies
After taking the exam on Thursday night, I spent Friday resting and cleaning because friends from college and two new little ones would be coming in on Saturday! We all met up at one of the malls and had a great time visiting and catching up with each other! We passed the babies around and shopped 'til we dropped...literally! Adelyn and Jake are such sweet little ones, and I am so glad I got a chance to meet them both. (Laura, I am saving up to come visit you all!) Rachel, Amanda, and I continued our shopping at another mall and then stayed up way too late watching old videos from college. I think we all had tears running down our face from laughing so hard! I was exhausted yesterday, but it was so worth it to have that time to catch up with friends!

Exam Day
This is it! The day of the National Board Exam.
5:30pm.
4 hours.
200 Questions.
I am prepared...probably more than I think I am. I am nervous, anxious, and excited. The last three years have prepared me for this moment. The last 4+ weeks have really prepared me with study sessions galore, lots of independent studying, and 8 practice exams. My exam is at 5:30pm which is kind of late. I strategically picked this time because of my other options: 8:30 am was out of the question because I am not fully awake at that point after studying late at night (my sleep cycle is so off right now), 1pm seems like a great time to want to take a nap, and so 5:30pm was my first choice. Since my exam does not start until then, I have had to fill my day with things to do to take my mind of the fact that it all comes down to this. I am meeting friends at McAlister's for lunch...my comfort food. After that, a quick run to Target to buy 27 Dresses. My treat to myself for taking the exam. I might go for a quick walk to keep my energy level up, but it just depends on my time. Oh, and mom says to drink lots of water! Sweet Tom (don't know him) called me yesterday from the testing center to remind me of my test day...like I needed a reminder for this.
I know that I can do this. I am ready.
"I lift my eyes up to the hill-Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121: 1-2
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy of One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43: 2-3a
