Ooooh, Happy Day!

Friday Night Highlights!

This week was interesting... I was not really stressed about my extremely hard test that came on Wednesday morning, UNTIL Wednesday morning. lol Ironically, okay not so ironic - I had not studied as much as I wanted but at this point for this test it was toooo late, I was "studied out" math is not my forte and I am just not so into studying for math! So alas, the grade I made I take full credit for and no complaining. HEY I passed! I was agreeable with it due to the low amount of studying that occurred. I am going to try harder on the next one! YES, that's the attitude I need to have & repeat "I love Chemistry!" until 12/14/12 when my class ends. lol

Moving on....
Linkin' up with Lauren for my H54F! 

1. I am going to be getting some boots from BELK (never ordered from there before but they had a really good sale going on) - I'll take pics when I receive them!
2. I was in need of some "professional attire" for work so I ordered a blazer and skirt for work! - excited to get those in the mail. I just love snail mail and packages in general.
3. I am wearing one of my favorite pairs of boots today. #FRESHFRIDAY

4. started my day off right with some Starbucks and Michael Buble!

5. Wednesday (I forgot my Random Wednesday post :/ - mental note; must get better!) is FIG - Flavour Influence Groups & Men of the House @ Fellowship Church - Grapevine Campus! & we had some new faces! I love meeting new people and getting to hear opinions from girls my age! 

Here's a picture of our group :)

::SHOUT OUT:: It's one of my group members birthdays today!
Everyone eat cake in honor of Jannehl Carranza Contreras today! Happy Birthday girl!!! I'm so blessed to have met such a sweet person! :)

Weekend came and went....

Last week a lot of exciting things occurred! It showed me that God is really moving in my life but the more he moves the more trusting I have to be and especially patient. I am so excited for what is happening now but also what is to come! So to update and post my late High Five For Friday! Better late than never, as they say..

1.) Saturday evening I attended a leadership meeting for The Mix (6th-8th grade) to volunteer. I am joining the leadership team for TheMIX at Fellowship Church Grapevine! and it used to be on Wednesday evenings but now it will be on Saturday evenings starting September 8th! I'm very excited to begin working with the student ministry again (I worked with Denton Bible Church when I lived in Denton).



2.) I got to speak with not only 1 but 3 PA's about shadowing in the future and 2 of them are at Children's Medical Center - I am so excited because I have always been interested in pursuing Pediatrics! It's now feeling like my dream is closer than ever and I can only thank God for it!!! I will begin after September shadowing an Orthopaedic Surgery PA and the others have yet to set up a schedule but I have a feeling it will be soon!!!!! SO EXCITING. (if you can't tell I'm basically jumping for joy over here!!!!)



3.) Okay so this may be silly but I bought this book thinking even if it doesn't help maybe I will learn something from it. Well let me tell you this is a little gem, I am so glad I bought it! It is very helpful and if I could tell the author one thing - is that I am so appreciative for him giving me a new perspective on making goals, and achieving them also just staying positive through the whole process even if I become discouraged! It's great to hear someone's perspective that is on the other side, that has already experienced what I am going to experience! So Thank you Andrew Rodican!!!

4.) My job! - for those of you that don't know I work at UT Southwestern Medical Center - University Hospitals as a Senior Administrative Assistant for the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Vice President of Non-Clinical Support Services. I am really blessed to have the job that I have. It is extremely flexible and my boss' are very understanding; also there are a number of perks that come with the job. I mainly am thankful because with starting back to school - they are certainly lenient if I need to study, or take a test, or whatever the case maybe. In past jobs I have not had such lenient supervisors/boss'. So I am so appreciative that the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful position, even if is not the position I/He plans for me to stay in.

5.) I am very excited about the new series our pastor Ed Young is going to begin on September 8th and 9th called "I am not ____ enough."

Hope you all had a great weekend! I enjoyed mine, I didn't really do much of anything! It was relaxing.  HAPPY MONDAY! It's a brand new day, if today were your last day - how would you make His name known to the world. Also Happy First Day of School to all the kiddies out there as well as my teacher friends! My first day is tomorrow. I'm nervous/excited! :)

XOXO,

Time for Everything

Happy Monday y'all!

I got a little behind this past week due to school ending and just being busy in general. Well I will catch you up!

Last week I took Monday - Thursday (yes, looking back should have just added Friday to that list!) off of work so that I would be able to fully focus on school and study for the 3 tests I had. . . . I did really well and was so thankful to the Lord for helping my memory work on those tests, I was really needing to improve my test grades and he helped me out through my struggles! Especially being off from work was quite helpful.

I was able to spend a little time on myself.  I went to get my nails at my favorite place City Nails, which by the way is absolutely one of my favorite things to do, it's so relaxing!

Thursday evening I went to dinner with two of my classmates to celebrate the end of class! We had survived. We decided to go to a place in Addison called The Social House, it was really good by the way and has a good happy hour! We enjoyed and I can't wait to hangout with those girls again soon.

The rest of the weekend I did absolutely. nothing. NOTHING. ah, it was nice. I relaxed and layed out with my good friend DP. We got to catch up from not seeing each other in about a month. Sunday, I went to Fellowship Church in Grapevine and volunteered at Children's Medical Center in Dallas. It was a pretty good weekend.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

So the next two weeks will consist of relaxing, getting my apartment decorated, since yes, I still have boxes sitting around. I registered for my next class which will begin on August 27th and it is Chemistry, so begin the prayers now!


I missed the High Five for Friday last week, so this week I will try and make up for it.

Hope everyone enjoys their Monday - you are not guaranteed a tomorrow!

XOXO,
