WOW! it has been WAY too long on here.... i just realized my soothing Friday was now almost 3? weeks ago- where did September go my friends? So i have to apologize for my lack of blogging. I had my first PA school interview last Sat. so i spent MOST of my days and night studying and prepping for that which left sadly little room for blogging or for doing much of anything interesting to blog about ;)
So lets see what weve missed......
1. my grandaddy celebrated his 85th!! birthday on Sept. 1st. He is such an amazing man and i am sooo blessed hes in mine and my families life! Since this is such an accomplishment (and whats even more impressive is he still feeds his cows, bails hay, gets trucks out of ditches, and finds time to keep updated on Skype and Facebook)! The family wanted to have a little get together to celebrate so Sunday the 5th Kris,Justin, Brent and I headed to Palestine to meet up with the rest of the gang. Another treat of the day was I got to see my Aunt Carlynn and cousin Kera- they live in Maryland so we dont get to see them nearly as often as we'd like. We were missing a few from the bunch but id still we had an impressive group for a sunday afternoon
2. soo i was really nervous about the interview coming up and i was REALLY missing my friends at Scott and White so on a bit of a whim ;) i decided to drive down to visit and get some tips and encouragement! i am SOOO glad i went. i may have been exhausted come thursday night but it was all TOTALLY worth it! i got up at 5:30 AM! and drove through a monsoon for 3 hrs to get to CS right on time at 9:30 for an appt. with my old PA adviser (9:30 was all she could do wed- trust me-i didnt choose that time ;)) and of course its raining the WHOLE drive....super dry in big D for days leading up to Wed. but of course i want to hit the road and BAM
*little side story* so it is act. a little funny that it was raining as i went back to cs. when brent and i were doing long distance for the two months i was still in cs and he was here it would rain everytime after i left dallas and would rain right before i got there on the weekends. brent said that Dallas was crying b/c i was not there :P it was super cute that he said that but also super ironic that when i decided to go back to visit CS Dallas cried again lol
anywho, i got some great advice and encouragement from my old Pa advisor at A&M- i really dont think i would done nearly as well if it hadnt been for her advice! then i went to SW to visit and spent the entire afternoon up there! but lets face it, when you work with such wonderful people 8-13 hrs/ a day its really really sad when you dont get to see them anymore... i got to see almost everyone, lunch with maggie and alisa, hung out in FM and TC ALL afternoon (sorry if i made anyone unpreductive btw) ;) and then dinner with the Kings and Rick! so much fun! thursday my buddy Dr. Bailey quizzed me and then i was on the road once more....Dallas was not crying thursday upon my return mind you ;)
3. that weekend i had another FANTASTIC girls weekend with Jennifer, Rachel, Lara, and Sarah. We went ate a TON of sugar, girl talked over wedding magazines and E! TV, and checked out the Dallas Flea- and i do love a good Flea. its a little difficult to find ones that are not 1. super sketch 2. actually have afforadable merchandise...this one was great...wished it been a little bigger but the merch was a nice mix of vintage finds and cute crafts of today! i love hanging with these ladies so it certainly lifted my spirits!
4. i got a JOB offer last week! i am now officially a seasonal employee at Crate and Barrel on Alpha....once i know my sched. you should come visit me. Yes, and you may laugh, but that does mean that the Lows are now a Crate family (a fam of 3 if you count our dear one Erin ;)) but i will act. be working at a diff. one than Brent and Erin so sadly that does not mean more face time with them....its ok though, we make it work ;) and the impt thing is ill be making money again soon and doing something that sounds pretty entertaining!
5. I had my first interview! i think it went pretty well but now comes the lovely waiting game! fingers crossed and prayers going that i hear something sooner than later but i really really LOVE the school and the staff and students were sooooo nice! so it would just be amazing to get in. i was completely worn out after the interview Sat. but at least i am feeling good about my answers no matter what.
6. Went to the Freedom Parade in uptown with Erin, Brent, and Sarah. We met up with Morris, Rudy, and eventually Maurice for what became an amazing Sunday outting! Morris got there at like 6 am to secure us a great location to watch the festivities! we had mimosas, tons of cheetos, hamburgers, beer, snickers, and tons of fun celebrating the wonderful differences in our great little city! heres a group shot from our perch....sorry its a little dark
and now you are officially up to date! sorry for such a long post but i guess in retrospect i was more active than i thought for these past few weeks! lol hope you have a fabulous wednesday...im off to finish my ghetto-lunch concoction ;)
