Dinner with the Girls!

Every time I go Uptown, I end of traveling around in at least 5 circles. I sort of understand where I am and where I'm trying to go, but not fully.

For instance tonight I drove past the parking garage I was looking for at least 3 times because I though it was on the same block as the restaurant. It wasn't.

I think I might actually be parked where I first intended but honestly, I'm on Level 7 and came down an unmarked elevator and into an unmarked hall. If I would have been attacked I'd have no idea where to have them search for the crime scene. Honestly I'm not even sure I'll be able to find my way back to my car!

I probably could have done valet but I don't want to tip someone to do what I can do on my own...but honestly I'm not sure I can even do this parking thing on my own.

Uptown, you drive me crazy with your one way streets, strange no left/no right turn rules, and overall elite attitude you exude. However, I will continue to come (infrequently at most) because I refuse to be conquered!

Now off to a great dinner with the girls, who I'm sure didn't get as lost as I did, they never do! I've got to remember to drive with them next time!

Small in the main area, but so beautiful and elegant!

All in all, dinner was amazing. We all had tragic stories of being lost and traveling around and around in circles before finding a place to park. Only two of us found the right place to be validated - which was super sweet! Great to see these girls, my definite best friends...just wish it was more often! But ready to celebrate Devon's bday before July is out! Off to bed after a tiring day, gotta get up early for the gym again!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series ! A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions: - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set. I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick. So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady. One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days! And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it! A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress. A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville! She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband. I said, ...
