7 Quick Takes Friday, July 19th




For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

- 1. I printed out Lumen Fidei tonight before leaving work. Looking forward to reading what Benedict and Francis have to say about faith. Hopefully I'll be able to adopt some of these words of wisdom into my daily life. Definitely in need of some inspiration at times.

 
2. Work this week has been absolutely crazy this week. Yesterday I didn't leave until 6:30 and I even went in an hour early so I could leave early but I never did leave early. Maybe today, but honestly probably not. My day is filled with interviews, fixing the phones, and being ready to leave the country for 10 days. 

3. Speaking of leaving the country, I'm leaving for Rio de Janiero on Sunday! I'm so excited. I can't believe we are actually going. A great article was written about us this past week. Check it out here.

4. Roommate and I have been watching Bones again and it makes me happy to watch the love story of Temperance and Seeley (or Bones and Booth as they refer to each other as). It's very comforting.

5. While watching I've been crocheting a starry blanket for a friend who is having a baby this coming October. Hopefully I can get it finished to be a pretty decent size!

6. Speaking of babies, check out the twins I got to hold for hours on Sunday!


7. Prayers are appreciated and welcome for our trip to Brazil! See you upon the return with lots of pics and many stories!

Head on over to Jen and the gang for more quick takes this week!

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, ...
