Friday Fill-In

1. The first rule of working in an office and getting along is being away from everyone over the weekend.

2. It would be nice to find a pearl in some clams.

3. When I think of carnivals I think of awesome rides that keep you terrified you might die and roasted corn on the cob.

4. Tulips are my favorite spring flower and that also is my nickname from Tim!

5. Things on my desk include a picture of me and Tim, a tray with bills and a Dave Ramsey book, hole puncher, two pen holders full of pens and highlighters, and a piece of brick from the torn-down Zeta house that Jill got for me.

6. Thinking about being done with law school makes me wanna shout and jump for joy.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting my airbrush tan and going to a movie, tomorrow my plans include getting a massage with Tim (yay!), getting my hair done, going to Bob's Steak and Chophouse for dinner, and staying at the Omni Hotel for our anniversary (!), and Sunday I want to go to church to get a blessing for our 1 year anniversary, watch our wedding video, and celebrate being married to my wonderful husband for one year!

100th Post - Really Cool Video

This is my 100th post - Cool! I am studying right now for my last final (tomorrow - wish me luck!) but I took a little break and a girl on The Nest posted this video. It is so cool I just had to post it on here - go watch it!

Heavy

I recently started reading a new blog (as if I need more people's lives to be concerned about! ;)) that my friend, Stephanie, sent me called Little April Rose (http://www.littleoneapril.blogspot.com/). The writer of the blog is pregnant with a little girl (April Rose) who was not expected to live through the pregnancy. She is now 37 weeks and April is still with her. She has started a thing on her blog called "HIS Will Wednesday" where people can send in prayer requests. I was scrolling through the requests, most of which link to people's specific blogs, and came across a request for a baby named Noah. Noah is 5 months old and was born perfectly healthy. Last week, he was at daycare and a daycare worker shook him. Noah is now in a medically-induced coma because of seizures that resulted from being shaken. His parents don't know if he will be okay once he is taken out of the coma and he will have to have an MRI to see if his brain is damaged. (http://www.noahsroad.com/?page_id=23)

This makes my heart so heavy. I started to cry just reading the brief story they have on this blog. I cannot even begin to imagine the parent's anguish in this situation. I cannot fathom getting a phone call to tell me that my child is having seizures because some shook him! Furthermore, I cannot imagine ever doing that to a small, innocent child. It's disgusting. The parents are trying to stay positive and hope for the best for their son. I ask you to pray for them and/or keep them in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

There were so many prayer requests for HIS Will Wednesday. It just makes you realize all of the things going on in people's lives and how we need to be thankful for ours....

hahahaha

If you have a second today, please say a little prayer for me. I have the first of my big, very difficult exams at 1:30 today. Ahh!

Oops!

I just realized that I had my font color in white...and I think I heard that if you read the blog on Google Reader, that you can't see it if I post in white.

Sorry about that! Now it's changed and I hope everyone can see it :) If I do that again, please let me know!

Friday Fill-Ins

I finally looked at someone's blog who had one of these on an actual Friday so I could participate. Yay! This is the most I have time to do right now with studying.

1. Apparently there's some sort of disorder in my brain that I can't get any studying done if I have other things going on in my life - such as unpacking boxes.

2. I really hope my week off of school contains sunny day after sunny day.

3. 2009 is mediocre so far.

4. The first night I went out with Tim, I got butterflies when he put his hand on my leg as we were talking and that was it.

5. For too long I've been stressed about school.

6. I am not obsessed with Dr. Laura; I am not!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to pretty much nothing, tomorrow my plans include taking the Professional Responsibility exam and studying and Sunday, I want to relax, but I have to study!
