*went to a bama/florida baseball game with alana & 3 sweet new friends we've met at shades...which was a friendship breakthrough for my new friend kristen & i, see she's a diehard florida fan(who also likes/knows some about sports) & well, i kinda have a thing for the crimson tide & sports in general. back during basketball season she wanted to invite me to the florida/bama game in ttown but wasn't sure if our friendship was ready for that...after the baseball game, it became official that we can take our friendship to the next level in terms of bama/fl football & basketball games.
here's a pic of me & kristen at the game
*i missed a monday night of sleep due to working 1am-10am tuesday may 11. yes, you read that right. see, if you haven't been to your local banana republic in the past 2 weeks then you've missed out on some new summer merchandise that at my store we needed to have out of the box, placed, and perfect by 10am(or at least that was the goal) & we sure busted our butts/lost many a hours of sleep. it definitely took me until about friday before i felt 100% energized...you moms out there have a whole lot more respect from this girl, the amount of sleep yall lose is applauded.
*i went to memphis for 2 days last week to visit the fam & be of whatever help w/ nana i could. we went shoe shopping, salvaged some old love letters & pics that the flood tried to destroy, & i helped dad take down her living room curtains. it provided me the chance to see her home w/out any furniture, doors, floor, parts of the wall, etc & lots of emotions/thoughts went through my head the whole time we were out there.(one day this week i might type them up for another post)
*this is the best one from the past 2 weeks: I'M OFFICIALLY FULL-TIME! after several months of waiting for the final approval/status change in the system, i can officially say i'm a full-time employee. while, yes, it's at banana republic which is not a social work job i cannot be more grateful that the Lord has provided me with a job where i can earn pto & start getting benefits. let me just say that to fully express all i've learned during the past year since i graduated i'll need lots more time & another post but what i will tell you is that i've never been reminded more that the Lord IS Sovereign, does not withhold any good thing from those who fear Him, & He longs for me to be content with where He has me. so if He's providing me a job at BR and nothing else then who am i to question! so PRAISE THE LORD for guaranteed hours, PTO and getting health insurance!
a lovely thunderstorm has brought some rain to help me fall asleep since i do have to work tomorrow & off days don't last forever.
