Catching up

Note to self:

NEVER get this far behind on uploading pics. Or if so, at least write the entry with it.

Some of the top things I LOVE about Spring:

(this list isn't in order of importance)

1. The weather

2. Skirts & shorts, paired with cardigans

3. The sun rising earlier and earlier (and thus the return of going to the gym before work)

4.

Flowers, like these.

I had some desperately received help on #90 when I was making dinner for the worship team. Mary came to my rescue with chopping and dicing vegetables. On my way home from Wesley (after a stop to the doctor's to check on my face and breathing issues...FYI: getting slammed in the face can and did cause excessive sinus drainage in me), I stopped and got her some beautiful hydrangeas to thank her. Two of the three died within 24 hours; the other stem made it a week.

Absentee.

I'm still taking my pics a day.

Really. And I have some super fun ones from the past week and a half.

But until the madness of this week settles down (hello, Sunday afternoon blog-a-thon), they won't be popping up here.

I'm also wanting a new blog name. Suggestions?

A work-full couple of days...

Both posts involve work...the post for day 92 will probably involve work...and I'm okay with that. Because I really, really like my job, and it lends itself to really good experiences and stories.

A better image for today (I hate realizing I missed better shots, or things that I would have rather taken a picture of to remember) would have been of dinner time. Today (with help from roommate Mary) I made dinner for the worship team--some chicken salads (one mayo-based, one italian-dressing based), ants on a log (I still hate celery, I re-learned), strawberries, and some other sides. I really like cooking for people (I think I've mentioned that). And this is cooking for over 20 people! Score. I have always managed to pick some of my busiest days to cook on, without fail. When I signed up weeks ago I thought that I was going to have lots of time to prepare...negative.

The picture is from something going on in a few weeks that my ministry area is organizing--a senior appreciation breakfast for our dear seniors. I'm pumped. It has a lot of potential to be really awesome. Going along with the desire to do things with excellence, I made paper invitations in addition to the evite because hey, it's more meaningful. Unfortunately most of them were NOT picked up, so I'm hoping some delivering magic will happen on Monday.

We had around 380 students sign-up by the deadline for Leadership. Yes, by the deadline. WHICH IS AWESOME! The pic comes from the adventures of trying to figure out how to schedule their interview times. Quite a few ways were brainstormed before the winning one was discovered (conveniently at the time I had to go take a 45 minute break to hear one of the girl's I disciple exit shows).

tuesday. march 30. a most eventful day.

I got slammed in the face by a pretty strong guy during the afternoon. It was a very unfortunate accident; he swung his arms out, and one just happened to come in contact with my face while I tried to walk around him in the intern office. I heard a crack. I screamed. I bawled. My nose may have a little break in it. Emphasis on little. It's not swollen anymore, I just can't touch it.

The picture is from my drive to 7:30 prayer. I get to see the most beautiful sunrises on the way to work on Tuesdays. Just one more perk.

Monday, monday. After a non-stop work day, I hung out with Ashley (the same one mentioned below). We did a little dinner (free pasta Mondays!), and a little shopping.

She did well.

Weekend Extravaganza.

85.

Friday night started with attending the lovely Lauren's (who I disciple) senior recital. It. was. incredible. She is so talented!

Ashley is getting married to Tate. And it's so EXCITING!!! :D

I have really enjoyed getting to know Ashley better this year at work (we work in the same ministry area), and I have been very thankful for that opportunity. I love Ashley's story about her and Tate; the Lord's faithfulness and redemption is so incredible. Her shower on Saturday was so fun; super-tasty eats, excellent company, and a little purse-diving competition.

First comes marriage, then comes a baby...or some little rhyme like that.

Sunday brought with it a baby-shower for dear Christie. She and Brian are having little Lorien fairly soon!

A strange perspective.

It is not everyday that you ride in your own car's back-seat. The two gentlemen above and I are in the same second year project group, and after working we went to Chick-Fil-A for some caffeine (desperately wanted by me after making the worst coffee ever).
