a good day

I like today a lot. Well, really the last 26 hours. Last night I drove up to Northern Ky and met my precious friend Shannon Henson at the best place in the whole world, Reality Tuesday Cafe. :) It's like our little meeting place. We got to catch up about our lives before she had to go be a teacher today. It was wonderful. She is fantastic. My best friend ever. This is Shannon on her wedding day!

beautiful :) So anyway, we parted ways and I headed for home and went to bed at 10:00 :) I am getting OLD. (today at the TC soccer game, one of the senior girls reminded me how i used to drive her to cheerleading when she was in 8th grade. its fine.)

Today started out with a little trip up to one of the greatest places ever. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. I LOVE that place. I got to go back for my yearly visit & bloodwork and got to see some of my old nurses. Treat. I also got insurance stuff straightened out for graduation, which is always good. My mom and I went to see my grandparents, which was good, but is usually sad because they are both not doing too great. From there we went to eat lunch and visit borders.

One of my favorite parts of my day was the drive home. I know that is crazy, but I LOVE driving between nky and lexington. Its just really pretty, and I had a great playlist (gloriana, ingrid michaelson, drew holcomb, feist..). I may have taken a picture while driving to capture how pretty it was :) Lots of green and blue. I feel like God makes himself so apparent through creation. Especially when windows are down driving :)

I got back to Lexington and ate Chick-fil-a softserve with Jen. Always a treat. I have a VERY OLD picture of us that is perfect for this occasion (it was taken on a disposable camera like 4 years ago) We were little and making very pretty faces.
So to end this day I went to the TC soccer game at Henry Clay. It was such a pretty night! Kind of chilly, which was awesome. I definitely got in for a student price. It was a deal. I feel really excited about starting YL events up, I feel like there is excitement about it this year. I even got asked tonight when it would start. Treat. I can't think of anything I am more pumped about than getting to share life with students this semester.

Oh! I almost left out something my friend Shannon Wheatly would love. My friends blogs are all precious and have really cute pictures of decorating and things like that. So I am being influenced by that with this next picture, and also influenced by Shannon, because this recent purchase remind me of her :) I found these treats at forever 21 today:

Precious earrings. Tonight one of the TC students was wearing them in black, so we got to bond over our earrings :) I definitely feel a lot girlier wearing them :) And I think about Shannon, because she would definitely wear these. And she is girly. I think her picture could go in the dictionary under girly. I love it.

Oh, on another note, my bible study started another Beth Moore study. She is being crazier than ever. I love it. If you have never seen her speak before, you should. Its pretty great. She gets super fired up. She also has giant hair and great outfits. (did I mention she is also super wise and encouraging? she is.) I am so excited to learn more about the spirit, and the fruits of the spirit in our lives.

Well, I am off to read a little Francis Chan then go to bed :) Goodnight friends.
