SUCH A FUN NIGHT!!!

How Did I Miss This??!

I don't know how I let this one slip past my fingers, but I have been blogging for over a year now!! Wow, time sure does fly when your having fun, yes?

A few updates with Annie:

God is so good and has brought in more than I could've ever imagined as far as my expenses go for the Amazon Mission trip! I still have a little more to go, but I am not at all worried. Seeing The Lord's faithfulness thus far has humbled me to no end! I can't wait to see what He has in store for this trip.

Only a few more weeks of night shift left. My very last night shift will be September 24th. A little surreal, but exciting at the same time! I am counting down the days!

Jason Mraz was AWESOME! Me and the girls met up with some chruch peeps this week and jammed/danced to his amazing music at Nokia Theatre!

Audrey's 80's Roller Skating Bash is this weekend....should be VERRRRY interesting!!! Party pics coming soon!!

I am super pumped about all the fun TV shows starting these next few weeks! Be sure to tune into Cougar Town on September 23rd. Look for me and Kendall! No guarantees on a sure showing, but theres always the possibility you may see my elbow! haha. Here is a list of the shows I will be keeping up with this fall:

1) Cougar Town...duh!

2) So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD for future reference)

3) THE OFFICE!! (SO EXCITED about this one!)

4) Grey's

5) Dancing With The Stars (always a favorite)

6) Big Bang Theory

7) How I Met Your Mother

Those are just to name a few! Happy Fall Watching!

Stay tuned!

If you haven't done so already...

READ THIS!!!

It is truly AMAZING and will change your outlook on life!

Exciting stuff!

A few exciting bits of news going on in my life right now:

1) I am going to start working the Day shift beginning in OCTOBER! I am counting down the days until I am "normal" again. (I know I am never going to be "normal", but "normal" as in 'not vampire-like')

2) I am going on a mission trip to The Amazon over Thanksgiving with our Young Single's group. God is good!

Thats all for now....pretty cool, huh?!

maybe I should....

wear a sign on my badge here at work saying "No, I am not married. No, I am not engaged. No, I do not have a boyfriend. Yes, I am single...And, sure I will meet your son/grandson/nephew/cousin/brother/etc....but he has too meet some pretty high criteria!" Maybe then, I won't have to explain myself to every single one of my patients. Or maybe I should just wear a sign that says "AVAILABLE!" Maybe that'll work.

BIRTHDAYS GALORE!!!

This past weekend was FULL and I mean FULL of fun Birthdays!!

It started with My favorite (not just because he is my only, but because he really is the BEST!) Brother-in-Law's 30th Birthday! My sister decided to surprise him at the Rough Rider's game on Friday and it was a great success!! After some worry of it no longer being a surprise, we pulled it off without a hitch! We had fun, food, family, friends, and Baseball (Jason's favorite!) Jason and his friend, Carl, were even good enough sports (which I don't think it took a lot of convincing) to go down on the field and do the hula hoop race! It was a definitely a site to see...especially after they had enjoyed a few beverages! ; ) Happy Birthday, Jason!

Jason and Carl on the Big Screen doing the Hula Hoop Hustle. LOL!

The next evening was Judy's, 5oth Birthday Bash! That girl knows how to throw a party! It was in downtown Grapevine at the Palace Arts Theatre. There was everything from a DJ and dancing to Karaoke and even a Photo booth!! Man, were those pics a site to see the next day!! The party was fantastic...I wouldn't have expected anything less from her! Happy Birthday, Judy!

Next on the agenda for the weekend-o-birthdays, the next day (Sunday) was my "Bonus Sister", Samantha's Birthday! Judy cooked, meaning, there was no question we were ALL over there to enjoy her great food and celebrate Samantha's big day. Happy Birthday, Samantha!

To top off the fun, My sis, Kendall, and I decided to enjoy a nice night and live band on the patio at Zen Austin Ranch. It was a great weekend!!!!

HOWEVER, The weekend didn't seem to stop there! Monday night, Kendall, Audrey, and I ventured out to the House of Blues for the Our Lady Peace concert! Here is what a successful concert night consists of: Getting into the Foundation room (something we do every time we visit the HOB), going down to the floor a few seconds earlier than the crowd and grabbing front row to feel the sweat of the HOTTTT lead singer, Raine (a.k.a. Jordan Catalano look alike), and enjoying a surprise guest appearance from David Cook! (Yes, the winner of American Idol! That boy can JAM on the guitar!)

A successful weekend it was!

tagged again....

I was tagged by Miss Sarah Begin (love that crazy girl!) with the Honest Scrap award.

Rules are as follows:
1. List 10 honest things about yourself that your friends don't know. (This is practically impossible...my friends know EVERYTHING!)
2. give the award to 7 bloggers.
3. let them know they've received the award.

Here goes nothin'...

1. I am slowly becoming addicted to murder mystery books. (Which is big for me since I am not much of an avid reader, but lately I have been! Sarah, I may take you up on that book club!)

2. I like to change my roommate's status on her Facebook when she leaves herself logged in. She claims I log in to her account each time, but she's the dummy who won't sign out, so she brings it upon herself. Sorry, Audge.

3. I really want a puppy of my own. This may entail waiting until I find Mr. Right to help take care of he/she when I work my long hours. There is, however, no rush in either of these processes...I'm pretty darn happy with where I am and with my adopted puppy, Layla Boo (Audrey's dog).

4. I enjoy taking last minute road trips...the unplanned events always end up being so much fun! (Right, sis?!)

5. I have to have something sweet EVERY time I finish a meal. Even if its a piece of gum...its a must!

6. I LOVE the color GREEN!

7. When I am at the movies I have to work "THE Rotation": Popcorn, Milk Dud, then Diet Coke....not necessarily in that order.

8. I was an extra in Courtney Cox's new show, Cougartown. I played a high school girl. Look for me and Kendall in the Pilot coming on ABC this Fall. Kendi is in L.A. right now and was able to get on the show again! That hoe.

9. My Friends and I say "Hoe" alot...It is a term of endearment, not an insult...so take it as a compliment when we call you a "Hoe", HOE! ; )

10. I check people.com on a daily basis. Love me some Celeb gossip!


Now I tag:

1) Sister
2) My Crazies
3) Mrs. Amanda Allen
4) Summer
5) Aunt Shona
6) Gretchen
7) Hollie

YOU BETTER DO THIS!!!
