A little intimidating....

It's official. I'm a college student. As I was walking on campus yesterday with my 4 year old in tow I had to take a big breath and fight the urge to go back home and just stay the same. I love being a mommy and right now that is my most important job. But God has really placed a love for medicine in my heart and Greg and I have decided it is time for me to start pursuing my RN degree. We are both excited about it but I was so intimidated walking around and going into the college bookstore. No one treated me any differently and I realized it was just in my head. It will be fine. A lot of hard work but fine!! I can't believe how much it all cost though. If anyone needs a charity just look me up.

Princess Isabella is 4!

What a beautiful day to celebrate Isabella's 4th birthday. The sun was shining and all her princess friends got to come and celebrate with her. The princess tea party was magical but the real party began after the presents were opened and one special makeup kit (thankyou Aunt Chrissy) was opened immediately. The beauty salon commenced outside and Isabella was completely enthralled.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us today. I am honored and blessed that God chose her for my daughter.

Oh the HORROR!

For anyone who knows me, I hate going to the dentist. Like use to get panic attack the night before hate it. I have had so much dental work done in the past and it hasn't been pretty. So today was my dental check up. AND......I'm cavity free. Everything looks good. I guess it's working to brush and floss and rinse and use special toothpaste and the list goes on and on.

On a happier note, Isabella loved watching mommy. She will get to go to her first check up soon! She even got an early birthday present from the dentist. A princess toothbrush. WOO HOO!

Arrival at 12:15 A.M....YIKES!

Wow. I have not stayed up that late in a long time. I had the priviledge of going to the start of the Girlfriends kickoff last night at Faith Baptist. What an incredible group of women that God is raising up to impact their world for Christ. I can not begin to tell you how it ministers to my heart. I also can not tell you how hard I am praying for my church's leadership to realize the importance of "strengthening the core" (especially for the women)!!

Then afterward I got to go out with my "pumpkin patch crew" at Applebee's and stayed out way to late. In fact, we closed the place down. It's wierd when you're sitting there chatting away and you see the manager walking around putting chairs up on the tables. You kind of feel like they're shouting....HINT HINT!! Ladies, I love you all so much. I actually stood up twice to go but found myself glued to the conversations and not wanting to miss a beat. God has granted me such blessings overflowing. With the drive home I arrived in my garage at 12:15 A.M.! YIKES. It was hard to get up this morning. Unfortunately Greg shared his sore throat with me too.

But, it was a fantastic start to a good week. On to birthday preparations for Isabella.
