This week has done nothing for me but make me restless. Restless for a vacation, change of scenery and a new pair of shoes. It's been hot. Yes, I know I'm stating the obvious. I believe this is the reason for my restlessness. The day in and day out routine has caught up with me and I'm desperate to get out of dodge! (It could also have something to do with being just on the brink of starting back to school. Boo.)

Alright, now that that's out of my system, on to the weekly happenings.

This week was a bit slower at work which in turn caused the days to drag on a bit. I haven't accomplished much in my ample extra time besides cleaning the house a little and watching Big Brother. These all being the reason I haven't posted in awhile. Nothing much to say!

So the previous 2 paragraphs were written last week...........now fast forward to this week!

I picked up books for school which starts the 15th. I am looking forward to it this year (even though it's Chemistry, yuck!) because that just means I only need 2 more classes before applying for the nursing program. In case you didn't know, I'm almost 31. Which means I'm too old to be still going to school =) Not really, I've just been going FOREVER and I'm ready to be done.  So the time has come to start burning the midnight oil again. *sigh*

Adam and one of his co-workers started collecting donations to send to his old unit who are currently stationed in Afghanistan and man, it has been an eye opener. I have taken part in asking/gathering donations and it has been nothing short of unbelievable what and how much people are donating.  It is so incredible to see God's hand in all this. We are hoping to continue to send supplies to Alpha Co. for the entire year they are deployed so if you or anyone you know is interested in donating, please contact us.  If all goes well, we plan to 'adopt' another unit and continue the good deed God has set forth for us to do.  As we get the donations gathered and packed, I will post pictures to show you all just how generous everyone has been. God is so good!

As I mentioned earlier, there hasn't been much going on. So with that, I will leave you with a series of text messages between myself and my younger sister, Lindsey.

Lindsey: "Yep today is one of those days where I want to be like Charolette from Sex and the City and hide in my closet!!!"

Me: "Funny....ME TOO!! Hey, speaking of having a drink in the closet, I had some of the Jose Cuervo light margarita and it was good. Better than skinny girl!"

Lindsey: "Really, I will have to try it!"

10 minutes later....

Me: "Wait......Charolette doesn't drink when she hides in the closet does she???? Maybe it's just me who wants to go hide in the closet and have a drink...."

These are the things that make me smile. I would be LOST without my sisters. Lost I tell you!

Love,

The Mrs.
