This past weekends was one of those weekends that I was actually more stressed when the clock said 5pm on Friday afternoon because I knew it meant that it was time for the crazy times to begin. Friday after work I ran a few errands to get stuff done for Brazil and after that I went to dinner with three of my girlfriends (Amy, Mindy, & Tara) at the Porch. We had a great dinner followed by drinks - it was nice to just get to hang out and chill with some good friends who I haven't spent a lot of time with lately.
I will be the first to admit that I stayed out a little to late on Friday night especially since I knew my alarm clock was going off at 6:30am on a Saturday. I had to pack for my quick surprise trip to Wichita Falls and meet Brooke for a 5 miles run at 7:30am. Mine and Brooke's run was one of the better ones we have had in a while - granted it was extremely humid but it was really fun and we both felt really good the whole time we were running - it's a step in the right direction considering the past couple of runs hadn't been good ones. I finished my run with Brooke just in time to make it to event number two of my jam packed morning - donation shopping at Target with some Brazil people for VBS supplies. We had a good time and it was nice to feel like we had most everything we needed for VBS once we left Target. My third event of the morning was suppose to be my Saturday morning weights class with Emily - which I sadly skipped out on but I need to get Whitney's birthday present and finish packing for WF and get on the road before the weather got bad. As if this weekend wasn't busy enough with it being the weekend before I leave for Brazil - I decided to fit in a quick trip to WF in on Saturday for Natalie's debutante ball and to see my family before I leave for Brazil next weekend. Natalie was a beautiful debutante, and I was really glad I got to be there.
My old next door neighbor from growing up, Payton - even made the royal court which was a fun surprise too. After the debutante presentation mom and I found out that Meredith's dog Millie, had gone missing - so we went to help look for her in our nice clothes, needless to say I am sure we looked really funny walking around yelling for Millie. (thankfully they finally found her late Sunday night) After our nice dinner - we were all really tired so we just opted to go home and watch a movie - needless to say it is well after midnight at this point, so it had been a really long day. Sunday was just as crazy with breakfast with Mammaw & Poppi before I headed back to Dallas for our last Brazil training meeting. All afternoon I had my Brazil training meeting, which wrapped up just in time for me to review over my little girls bible study lesson. The lesson was over "Salt & Light" and had lead to some great discussions in the past couple weeks - it is really neat to see how much they have grown in the last few months. Stacy and I received two new additions to our group this week, but one of them wont be joining us until the fall since she is a transfer to from another group. We are really excited to have Liza and Morgan - our group has
more than doubled since we have started it is kind of crazy but lots of fun! Tonight my little girls served me in a huge way by making bracelets for my Brazil trip - they made over 100 bracelets in just an hour. This weekend was not the weekend I had planned for it to be on Friday morning because I had planned to start packing and gearing up for Brazil, but it ended up being a great weekend even if I am exhausted and not any closer to being ready for Brazil, but I know it will all come together - it always does even if it means a little less sleep. But I am thankful for every minute of this weekend especially getting to spend time with family and friends before Brazil.
