26/52

Well!

What a week last week was!

I failed at taking pictures except for really one day, but you will understand why soon! And I got the most important day, so you know.. priorities..

Tuesday I was up and awake early, even before my alarm went off. 

It was my day to head to a local nursing home that I play at, but even more exciting than that, it was the day my bestie was going to have her baby!

I knew what time she had to be at the hospital, but other than that I really don't have much knowledge of c sections, or how long they take.

None of my other friends have had that kind of birth, so I'm fairly well acquainted with the other process, not so much the c section process.

I assumed it would be speedier.

I. was. wrong.

Y'all..

When we had passed the 4 hour mark I got NERVOUS. My hands were shaking, and I was just starting to have all the fears.

I sat in front of my laptop and kept hitting refresh on her husband's fb page every 3 minutes.

OK it was every 2 minutes.

I did that for an hour.

Yes, I said an hour.

I would have done it longer but I had to leave!

So by the time I arrived for my concert we were past 5 hours and I hadn't heard anything and I was really getting scared. I'm pretty sure my hands didn't stop shaking until half way thru my hour long concert. 

Pitiful.

I didn't have any reason to think something had gone terribly wrong, but I have had someone close to me lose a loved one during a c section, so even though that rarely happens, I was just very aware that it does. And without warning. So I prayed and prayed, as I played away, and eventually my nerves calmed down.

And after I got done with my concert, and I had chatted with the activities director and explained my hand shakingness, ha! (she hadn't noticed anything, God bless people who aren't musical) I went and checked my phone and saw baby girl had arrived!!!! HURRAY!!! I then proceeded to hustle my way back to the director's office and say She's Here!!SHE'S HERE!! And the director replied Who? OH WAIT! THE BABY IS HERE??!! Do you have pictures? What is her name? And this is why this facility feels like home y'all. 


This is my post concert, I can breathe now that I know everything is ok piano selfie.
And here is the cutest little patootie!! Miss Evie!

Since this isn't my bestie's blo, and not my child ;) , I'll keep the details for them, but she is adorable (obviously), she came out with a full head of dark curly hair which is crazy since big sister is a blondie. We are all IN LOVE! I can't wait to get my hands on her and snuggle!!

 I wasn't sure anything could top that but we tried to Thursday night! My church was hosting a special event for the volunteers and since I co lead a team of guest services, I was invited to the event and got to take a guest with me! Emboz was gracious enough to go along, and to pick up chik fil a for us to eat on the way to see......
 JOHN.CRIST.
 I mean he was hilarious, he's John Crist! We had a great time, and even though we were sitting in the balcony, we were in the back row, of added on chairs, so we got to adjust our seats and be super comfy, and I didn't feel like I was going to pitch to my death when I stood up. Which is always my fear in a balcony. Cherrybear is not so good with heights.
 Since we rode the bus to the event (It was held at our main campus) we couldn't stick around and stand in the very long line to meet and take our picture with John Crist, so we did the next best thing. (And both of our heads look weirdly shaped for some reason in this pic. )
I got a strawberry smoothie at capstone and popped my contacts out, and we hopped back on the bus for our ride home!

The next day I was up and went out and about to get my second massage of the summer. It was lovely and much needed after my concert earlier in the week. 

And that wraps up week 26!!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...
