A day of surprises!!

Had a great day at work today. I'm getting in my rhythm with my responsibilities soooo yeah that's going great.

Best part of my day though was getting home and picking up a package from all my Hope Kitchen BFF's. As you may know, I am an expert gift-unwrapper. Ask anyone in my family, they can tell you some of the infamous stories. Well this joker was so well wrapped that it took me about 3 full minutes to tear into. Tape and cardboard box ripping, styrofoam little white stuffing things that get everywhere, and BUBBLE WRAP (SWEET!!!).....Then finally got to my PRESSSENNTTTTT:

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

You are some of the most wonderful people I know, and definitely some of the greatest friends I could ever ask for.

The cross is now leaning up against my window until I find the perfect place for it! Thank you to Lawana, Kathy, Jen, Shelley, Lisa, Doris, and every one else. I love you all times a million. The Crate & Barrel Gift card will be going towards replacing the suitcases that hold all my shirts, scarfs, sleepy pants, hats, socks, etc. with actual dressers. YES!! 

OH and YEAH. And I got a wonderful taste of home (Memphis) tonight when I got to see my friend, Claire, who was so awesome to bring a bag of clothes for me up here from my parents so I don't have to live off my two week bag anymore. She's a trooper. It was nice to just to see someone you love from home. Thanks Bear. I think I've reworn outfits about 5 times over by now, no joke, so having a few more things to live off of makes a huge difference. I hung up all my (what feel like new, but actually old) clothes and have been gazing in wonderment at my closet which is actually beginning to fill up now! (and rather quickly). My parents also sent up the two pictures that I always keep by my bed at home in Memphis. One- of Owen driving Caroline's (CB's :)) car (see picture 38 of my profile picture on the FB). And two - a picture of Wright and me at the Kentucky game that he gave me for Christmas one year where he wrote on it: "ALWAYS MY BEST FRIEND."

Ah I miss home... But it's a smile and miss, not a frown and miss :) make sense?

bonsoir!
