Five Favorites (June 19th)

1. Faithful Servant: It's a week long retreat hosted by my Diocese of youth and adults to learn and practice leadership skills. This week we have 55 adults and teens. It's been great - last night I came home to work for a few days, but I'm going back tomorrow night after work. But some crazy things happen there, so these are my favorites:

2. Christopher: one of my kids during the lip sync contest on Monday evening. He and another boy did something with Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. It was just delightful. In this video - he's the tall one!

3. One of the topics I presented on this year was Consensus. This is where the group decides what is best for the group and takes a consensus rather than voting. This way everyone's opinions are part of the process and all are involved. The activity was finding one flavor of ice cream with 6 toppings to have as a treat at our Skit Bonanza on Thursday evening. We will be able to make a pretty delicious sundae from the results, although it took forever to agree on which flavor of ice cream!

4. Sleep: When I got home last night, I rolled right into bed and got almost 10 hours of sleep last night! I could have gone for a few more and still been tired. There has been some drama associated with bed time the last few days and I truly don't even know what time we've been going to bed. After 12, possibly not until 1 or 1:30 - and getting up at 6:15 ready to go for the day. I was good driving home until about the last 15 minutes - then I was starting to fade and quickly. Someday my sleep schedule will regulate - WAIT, I take that back ... as soon as it does, I'll probably find myself pregnant and then it'll never be the same again. Which will be a beautiful occurrence! But what I need to do now is prepare for getting less sleep to train myself!

5. Again, Christopher and Tu-Tu's and Pink - my favorite things!

Well, off to the post office then work!

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, ...
