A Work In Progress

Friday night I was going out, period. I wanted to celebrate my achievements and what I see as a milestone in what I have been working on for the past three years. However I am going to yield at the fact that I only reached this place in my life because of Gods mercy and grace so really celebrating wasn't about me but about God and his faithfulness to me. So there, even more reason for me to celebrate. It all started at, what is now, my new favorite mexican restaurant. Mexican and margarita's with Emily and her mom, I couldn't think of a better way to come together with to people who have blessed my life in so many ways. We drank and ate. Awesome. Next on the agenda, drinks at Em's new, swank apartment. Nick met up with us and then we headed to Growlers to meet up with my Home and her friends. On the way there we belted Lady Gaga's "Starstruck". Nick's presence continuously makes me smile and warms my heart. It was that simple moment in my car that I love and will never take for granted. The night had gotten away from us so by the time we got to Growlers Liz and her crew were finishing up their fun time so Nick, Emily and I sat down at the bar, got a drink and chatted away about life. I hadn't laughed as hard as I did that night for a while. My heart needed it. Note: If you ever need a good laugh, I'm talking a-to the-mazing laugh, get Nick and Emily together, HILARIOUS! We had a great time but as all great times, it had to come to an end. Nick dropped us off at Emily's apartment where we both made a mad dash for pj's and I, personally, was more concerned with the snicker doodles that Emily's mom had made. I got my cookies and milk, hunkered down in bed and got on Em's laptop to blog about the night and by the grace of God I noticed the date on the computer, October 3rd. I forgot to write down in my planner that I was supposed to open the pool at 8:45am. I had to throw it up to the big man, laugh and set my alarm for 7:30. My head hit the pillow at 1:30am and I was out. Honestly, it is just like me to have a moment like that. I have to say though, I had an amazing Saturday. After I finished working I swam which it was an awesome quality swim! Then I came home opened all the windows in my apartment, let the autum breeze rush in and just had a relaxing, yet productive, day. I must say that the pumpkin beer purchased the night before rocked my socks off too. Yum, I strongly suggest it.
