Welp, I made it back safe and sound. I added it all up, and I was awake for 25 hours...one word comes to mind: brutal. I landed to my fam and bff Amanda (what a GREAT surprise), roses, and went straight to Souper Salad. My other bff, Lace, met up with us, and I proceeded to have the largest salad ever...a little piece of heaven. Next up was Target and Costco. Sensory overload to say the least. Good gracious, I was floored by the amount of choices. I've become accustomed to very few choices at the grocery store. I was feeling a bit like I had hit a wall, then I walked into Target...did a 180 in a matter of seconds...Lord have mercy how I love and have missed that place!! Got stocked up on some essentials (i.e. some cute new clothes), and headed home. I was able to stay up til about 9:00, then I was down for the count. Woke up around 6:00 the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. Had a 10:00 appointment with my favorite hairdresser, Christine, which is definitely one of my happy places. Saturday night proved to be a bit too much for me. I had a Christmas party thrown by my good friend Mary, and my friend, Christy's bachelorette. Somewhere in there I thought I could handle it all, but was seriously mistaken. I showed up to the bachelorette as they were heading to the hotel for some more fun, and realized I just couldn't do it. It was already 10:30, and I had to speak at church the next morning. I opted out of that one, came home, and went straight to bed.
It was soooo great being back at church. How blessed I am with an amazing church family! The talk went great, and I was able to see so many of you on my team. I look forward to catching up with some of you so very soon!!!
As for today, I took it easy. Got my morning workout in, and then cleaned house for my mom. She's hosting her office Christmas party at the house, so we have to have it all ready for tomorrow. Lots and lots of cooking and cleaning going on...I pray your doing well, and enjoying the holiday season. Take the time and count your blessings. Our God is great, loving, and overflowing with goodness. Goodnight and sweet dreams!
