Happy 9th Birthday Juliana!!

Last Saturday we celebrated my baby sister's 9th birthday at Gattitown! I had never been to Gattitown before but it was a really neat place! All you have to bring is your cake and they take care of the rest! They played games, danced, painted faces, ate pizza and then went to the arcade. I think John and my brother had as much fun as the little girls!

The sweet birthday girl!!!

Lazy Weekend

We had a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute! Friday night consisted of MRA football- we killed Canton Academy 64 to 0! The game was over by the 2nd quarter so they ran the clock for the next 2, thankfully! (Btw-last Friday we lost to Prep- it was too awful to blog about!!) Saturday we slept late, my fav! John's parents got new living room furnitue so they offered us their old leather couch and love seat which we gladly accepted! So they delivered the furniture that afternoon and then we had lunch with them at Mugshots. Saturday night John and I went to the movies to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it was really good!! Today I caught up on some laundry and took the pups for a long walk while John watched film at the school. I thought I was going to have to carry Noah back home, he's spoiled and doesn't like the heat one bit! Hope y'all had a great weekend!

BIG game!

Friday night is MRA's first game of the season and it's a BIG one! We play Jackson Prep at home! They are big rivals and both really good football teams. MRA put JP out of the playoffs last season so they are coming back for revenge! MRA has a whole new football staff so it's going to be an interesting game! I just pray we play our best with good sportsmanship and leave the game with healthy football players. But a "W" would be awesome! Go PATRIOTS!

God's timing is perfect!

Monday I started my new and FIRST RN job in the well baby nursery! To say I love it would be an understatement! The hospital is brand new and SO nice! And I get to cuddle and love on brand new babies all day! Perfection! But what's even more perfect is the way it all happened!

School was a nightmare, Hesi almost killed me, and boards were stress-FUL. Surely finding a job would be easy.. not! God's timing is perfect. It's something you hear and preach to others but when it's your turn to hear it and believe it, it's a lot harder to swallow! John and I were in Dick's sporting goods-John sees a young boy trying on tennis shoes-He asks him what school he goes to and if he plays sports-The boy says he goes to NWR and he plays football-John asks him why he doesn't go to MRA-The boy says he is interested but didn't want to leave his friends- They talk and exchange numbers- John introduces the boy and his mom to me-The mom asks me what I do- I tell her I just graduated from nursing school and I'm currently looking for a job-She tells me her husband is the CEO at River Oaks and is sure he could find me something- She gives me his number- I call and email him my resume-he sends my resume out to all the Chief Nursing Officers and makes phone calls- I get a call on Aug 1st for an interview on the post-partum unit- Another call on Aug 3th for an interview in the well baby nursery and offered the job on the spot. God is so so GOOD! This job couldn't be more perfect for me!

Girls Night!

Monday night the head coaches wife, Elizabeth, invited all the football coaches wives for a girls night! We ate dinner at McAlisters and then headed over to Easely Amused for a painting class. The theme for the night was "All I Do Is Win" and we all painted MRA football helmets! Most people painted their favorite college team but we decided to show the patriots some love! This was my first experience at EA so I was very excited and a little nervous because I am the least artistic person alive! It was so much fun! And they really do go step by step!

My finished product! Not too bad for my first experience!
