Week in Review

This week has been of 2 extremes. Excitment and happyness of reuniting with an old friend to an extremely difficult day at work that led me crying 5 times and crying as I walked out through the hospital to my car. Fortunately the next day was much better. I carry a lot of the burden of my work close and personal instead of leaving it as it is or keeping it at a distance. And I carry it and let it eat me from the inside out.

Pamela Jean visited this week on her Spring Break! It was so good, so sweet, but too short. Our relationship is a funny story. We met through RUF 4 years ago. Outside of our "surfacy" chats at RUF or church, Pamela and I never really got to know each other. My second year at RUF I became good friends with Pamela's roommate, Alex, and more with our friend, Fitz. It was then decided that a group of girls would live together, altho don't ask me how I got on the list. Thankful I did, because I came out with some closer friends! Pamela and I lived together for only 4 months, but she became one of my besty bests! I think its because we shared a bathroom, an escapade to Birmingham and back, hurricane swimming days, and the same political views (hah).

Beach Day!! Love those nice and lazy beach days.

Photo booth fun, which Pamela has been looking forward to for so long!

Pamela, Alex, and I. Cute clothes courtesy Kristina, cute hair courtesy Alex!

2/3 of the original old rooms. Love these girls

And this photo makes me laugh because I'm not sure what it says about us. But it makes me laugh.

So thankful for the blessing of friendship amidst the muck and crap in life. Especially what I experienced this week.

Nothing beats waking up on a Saturday morning and enjoying a cup of French pressed coffee!! Courtesy of Miranda & David on my last birthday! Love! Ok, well there are a few things that could beat that, but for now it will do!

What's going on? Well, not a lot of a lot. Work is going well. I have succumbed to the idea that work is just a part of life . It might not be something I always love, but its better to accept it than moan when my days on come. I do like what I am doing and who I work with, for the most part. With all jobs I think you have those ups and downs. My down would be just getting up so early and being out of my house for so long!! I'm gone from 6am to 8pm. I have been told that is ok, because at least I don't have a husband or kids to tend to. Single and alone? So easy to go to work...but I digress.

Ah, pending beach day. How I am so excited to see you!! I can't wait! Heading home in a few minutes to spend the weekend with the family. I took it slow in waking up this morning and getting ready.

Here's a few pics from Kennedy Space Center visit this past week with my parents and brother:

Mom and John getting in the pod, which was actually a picture booth. Clever.

Dad, we tried. Maybe over a few inches to the left would've done better.

In replica of one of the first space pods. Cramped!!

Me and little boy, not so little boy. Boy becoming a tween...NO!

Happy Easter! I hope you all have fun dying eggs, hiding and hunting them, eat a few pieces of candy, be with loved family and friends, eat some ham. Remember the King who came here on earth with the sole purpose of saving those He loved to be with Him forever. So thankful for that truth!! He is Risen! He is risen indeed!
