The highlight of my day... probably this week and really, probably this month... getting the opportunity to pray with my adorable patient who went home today on hospice. My patient was a Christian, ready to go home and die with the Lord. Before she left, I got to give praise and glory to God with her as we cried together.

being an auntie is awesome!

Hard to believe my little Bubbas is 11 months tomorrow.... 

Random blog...

I feel like I should blog, but I'm not quite ready to divulge everything my brain is processing thus welcome to a very random blog post....

 This Saturday, I got to walk a 5k with my family and Jennifer's friends. 

Felt great to be outside and be active like a normal person.

 Bam, this is what I look like right now. 

At my recent hair appointment, I've discovered I have a couple gray hairs... uh oh. 

 If you can't tell by my refrigerator or picture wall, 

my nephew just so happens to be the highlight of my life.

 Yum, my morning coffee has become a part of me...

 I'm attempting to decorate my wall in my 'kitchen' area... the inspiration are the flowery leaf thingy. The paintings are what I'm looking forward to the most...

 This picture pretty much sums up my current focus. Being real, transparent...

Current smell of relaxation...

What's better than having the cutest nephew in the world? 

Nothing...

Friend day!

Today was a glorious rainy day! After two very hectic days at work, I got to sleep in and spend the day with one of my dear friends, Sabrina! Unfortunately, sleeping in wasn't necessarily the plan but Sabrina arrived and I was blessed to share my morning coffee with her! What an amazing feeling it was to have a dear friend sitting on my OWN couch in my OWN apartment and sharing life face to face! Something that I desperately needed. After two hours of talking we finally decided it was time to get off the couch and off we went to my favorite shopping center for lunch at chick-fil-a and a day of shopping and coloring :)

We went to Color Me Mine, Sabrina painted an adorable doggie bank in resemblance of her doggie and I attempted a creative vase so I can buy myself flowers! :) We hung out in the studio for a couple hours and watched as it poured outside. Outside you could see the snow on the mountains! :)

What a marvelous day!

Now, I'm off to read Forgotten God with my new candle! 

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

1 Peter 2:21 NLT 

I love to-do lists...

Whatever helps me stay accountable, BONUS didn't have to pay the lazy jar today :)

I am going to have to make myself a lazy jar.

Three Tattletales for Tuesday

Tattletales are back! :)
1. After doing really well on saving money and not eating out once or twice a week for the past couple of weeks... I caved yesterday bought a grilled cheese and a soda at the cafeteria for lunch (to go with my tomato soup I brought from home) and a pizza for dinner :) [Guess it's only $8] Really just means, it's time for grocery shopping.
2. I really enjoy watching The Bachelor.... since I don't have anyone to really watch it with, I find myself talking out loud and having running commentary with myself! This week I kept saying, REALLY Ben? Really?
3. This week I attempted to be "creative" with my hair one night before work, I had found my old sponge curlers and I figured I would give it a shot. Well... at 5:30 am the next morning, I took the curlers out and realized I can created an AFRO. I attempted to comb it to see if it would help... NO. I created a even bigger and more poofy afro... I looked at myself in the mirror and said, THIS HAS TO BE A DREAM! Unfortunately it wasn't... next time I will be more careful when I decide to be creative before work.
