Great Week.

Hi!
We have had a very busy last few days. This week Adam and I went to Memphis to see Charlie and Nicole. We both took off on Friday so we could get down there a little bit earlier.

But first Thursday night Adam and I ....finally made time to see friends. Adam went and hung out with Buster (Katy was out of town). They ordered take out from Buffalo Wild Wings and played PlayStation or x box..which ever. I called it their man date. Haha.

I went to P.F. Chang's with Leslie and Heather from nursing school. It was SO good to see them. Its so great when you haven't seen certain friends in several years and you can pick up like there was no time wasted. It was nice to chat with them about different work stories and life. I hope we will make plans to get together more often.

Friday, we left for Memphis and got there around 2. Charles was just so cute but isn't he always. The main reason for going to Memphis was to go to Time Out for Women. Nicole had asked me to go several months ago and the day finally came. Friday night we actually got to here from John Bytheway. How cool is that. Those are some of the very few books I actually read as a teenager. They didn't seem to give him much time to speak though. That night we came home and were going to celebrate Adams birthday. It was so funny..so as most know Nicole made Charles a dinosaur birthday cake for his birthday, so Adam jokingly asked Nicole if she was going to make him a dinosaur birthday cake. Well, Nicole had a key lime pie and had bought a dinosaur sandwich shaper. So she had punch a dinosaur figurine out of the middle of the key lime pie and put a candle in it. It was hilarious and Adam got his dinosaur cake :).

Saturday, Time out for Women was all day basically. We had some AMAZING speakers. A lot of their messages were very special. The singer, Hillary Weeks, was amazing and probably one of my favorite parts. She was so much more than a singer but an amazing person with great stories and messages for us to here. I also really enjoyed Amanda, one of the speakers, her message probably touched me the most. The theme this year was about having Infinite Hope. I think it was very important for me to here some of the things that were spoken. Life gets very hard sometimes and it seems like most of the time we want instant gratification about what we want or we end up discouraged. I think this applies to me. I need to learn to have hopes but realize if I don't receive them now or ever ..that the Lord is with me and everything will be OK.

It was also great to be able to spend time with Nicole. She is such a very special person and I'm am so glad she is my sister in law. She shared some encouraging thoughts with me as well. And yes this will be a shocker but I bought a couple of books to read. Crazy huh! But I will read them haha.

That night we went to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and went home and hung out and played games. I wish we lived closer together. It would be nice to see them more often.

My parents had some more excited news this weekend. But not quite sure I should share that yet.

Have a great day!
