Another Fun-Filled Weekend

This weekend started out with dinner and a movie with some friends from work. It was a fun night, but the movie was not what I expected. I had not read the book, so I guess I was out of the loop on what the end would be like. It wasn't bad, but not one I would go see again!

Saturday morning I headed to Memphis to meet a sweet friend from Hot Springs! She was my 11th grade disciple now leader and someone I have always looked up to. It was great catching up with her and just talking about life. :) We did some shopping, too! I found some more owls...don't judge! She even helped me spot a few! It was a short visit, so I am looking forward to another time we can get together with more of the H.S. girls!
After the shopping fun, I headed to my brother and SIL's for the football game. My parents decided they needed to tag along and made the trip later in the day for the game. Turned out to be an amazing win by the Tide as they rolled over Georgia!! It wouldn't be a Memphis trip without going to Muddy's, so while Susan and I were out and about, I picked up 5 crimson cupcakes for the game! Yummy!

This morning dad made some of his yummy waffles for breakfast before heading back home. I stayed longer to visit with the bro and take him to McAlister's...because it is his favorite place to eat. :) Ok, so it is my favorite, but he enjoys it, too!

Another weekend is almost over, and it will be back to the real world bright and early in the morning, but I have something to look forward to next weekend as I will be on the road again!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Roll Tide Roll!!!

Alabama just rolled over Georgia! 41-30

Prayer at Work

I never thought that I would experience prayer at work. Many people choose to separate religion from their workplace and school in fear of offending someone these days. There are debates on the topic and groups that fight against prayer in schools and in public places in general. For me, prayer is something very important in my life. I have seen the power of prayer many times in my life...even the little things.
When I first started working, the organization I work for took time to pray for their new employees at orientation. I thought that was unusual but was very thankful that that was part of the orientation and that my first job started with prayer. Yesterday in a meeting a few names and families were mentioned who were in need of prayer. Today there was a dedication for a new building and not only was there prayer, we also sang hymns and read scripture...to me that is pretty cool...to work for an organization like this is such a blessing especially since it is my first experience in the real world. With the world the way it is today, this was all actually surprising to me. I did not ever expect to experience this at work. I know I am fortunate to work for an organization who places an importance on the one true Healer. It was a reminder today of why I do what I do and that I cannot do this job on my own. It also reminded me that this is where I am meant to be at this point in my life. I may not always have this type of work environment and feel like this is only preparing me for what may come in the future. I am truly blessed!

New Music

One of my classmates has a new album on itunes! Go check her music out...Caroline Brewer!

Is it really only Thursday?

Today felt like Friday which is disappointing considering it is not. Tomorrow should be a good day with only 3 patients on my caseload instead of the typical 4-5. I guess I am ready for the weekend since I have made some fun plans! Tomorrow night is dinner and a movie with friends from work! Saturday I am meeting a sweet friend from Arkansas in Memphis to catch up and shop! I am going to stay with my brother and sister-in-law Saturday night and then go to church with them Sunday morning, so I can have a chance to spend some time with them while I am in town. The family will be watching the big AL game Saturday night, so I guess I will be doing that as well!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Could I Find Anymore Owls?

Seriously, this is out of control. This is not even all of my recent owl purchases (I am just tired of downloading pics)! I may need to join a support group.
