0520: First of all, I am SO thankful for the kids (I'm babysitting) sleeping in until 11:30 this morning! I got over there at 8 and fell back asleep. When I woke up at 11:30 and went upstairs, they were just getting up!

0521: What a blessing it was to speak at SGBC last night. I love those people. And they love me. It was like speaking for a group of my closest family and friends.

0522: And at the end of last night, they prayed specifically for me. The sweet prayers they voiced moved me to tears. Seriously, I am lucky.

0523: I GOT A FREE HAIRCUT!! My mom had built up enough rewards on her Ulta card that she got a free hair cut...and she was kind enough to let me use it! HOORAY!!

0524: I interviewed last week with Head Start. They emailed today and asked me to come in tomorrow for a drug test. And Thursday I have an interview with Buckner! YAY!!!

0525: While I have these various job-prospect things going on, my dad will be watching the kids. I wish I could be a fly on the wall! But I am SO glad that he is more than willing to help me out!

0526: The girls and I made cookies today and took them up to the fire dept. It was so sweet to watch the girls give the cookies and their handmade card over to the fireman and tell them thank you for all they do.

0527: Man...there are definitely some perks to living at home. My mom makes a good home-cooked meal every night. LOVE IT!

0528: Ashlie and Andrew got married this weekend! It was such a blessing to get to witness that.

0529: MB AND I ARE HOPING TO GO TO WACO ON SATURDAY! WOOT WOOT!

0530: After I spoke at SGBC last night, I was told that my ticket to Women of Faith had been paid for! SWEET!

Its 2:30 AM. I can't sleep. So I figured I would blog. Seems like the logical thing to do.

0510: I am so INCREDIBLY thankful for Connection Point Church. The last few weeks, I have felt like the messages Joel has preached were hand written for me.

0511: On that same chord, I am LOVING our small group. Each week that I go, I fall more in love with it. (In a non creepy way) I leave each Wednesday night thinking how grateful I am for REAL community and I look forward to continue growing with these fine folks.

0512: We survived our weekend at the river. It was for Ashlie and Andrew's Bachelorette/ Bachelor party. We had a really good time (some more than others) and we all made it out in one piece..mostly

0513: With Bubba out of town this weekend, I have been sleeping in his room. It is MUCH cooler than mine.

0514: LIZ IS IN TOWN THIS WEEKEND! This means that we have spent most of the weekend together! It is not very often that we get to hang out, so when we do, we capitalize on it!

0515: With Liz in town, I think we have started a new tradition. For the last two times she was in good ol G-town, our families have gotten together for dinner. I love it. Many laughs come from it!

0516: MB and I have had some quality hang out time this week. We had a lovely night in relaxing in the pool a couple of nights ago. Good conversations are always had poolside. I love that girl

0517: I will be speaking at good ol SGBC tomorrow night. I am so fortunate to have people that love me and support me at that church

0518: I had two interviews this week. Even if I don't get to the job, it was nice to see SOME action on the job front

0519: My brother has been driving my car more than me lately. But with that, comes him filling it up with gas. Thank goodness! Because no job means no funds.
