...Just What I Needed!

After a crazy week last week....a nice slow relaxing week was just what I needed! First I just want to officially welcome my little brother Drew to the Wolfpack!!!!! He found out he got accepted to State and me and the rest of my family are so happy for him!! CONGRAGULATIONS DREWBY!!! I am so so proud of you and can't wait for you to start making your mark :)

The rest of this week has been great so far!! Tuesday I had off from both of my jobs! When does that ever happen?? I went to bible study in the morning (which is still going great and I love it more each week) and then I went to the beach. This is a picture I took while I was laying there...

I am still amazed I live here! The view never gets old and I just feel so lucky to be here. When I see a view like that, I know that God exsists....I mean who else could create something so beautiful? I laid out on the beach for a total of 2 hours. I was only going to stay for an hour, but it was the perfect time to catch up with some wonderful friends of mine! I talked to Kara for a while and she told me this picture looks like a screen saver....haha. Then I found out even more exciting news! Meredith Ellis got accepted to UNC's prgram for Physical Therapy!!! I am soooo proud of her! She has worked so hard and deserves this more than any one else I know! God's work is just falling into place for her and it is so cool to watch. CONGRAGULATIONS MERE!!! So by the time I got done talking with them...and my mom....I realized I had been out there for 2 hours. Now at a normal beach, I wouldn't be worried, but because the sun is so strong here...I knew I was in for it. I got home and realized I was a lobster! I am still feeling the pain today :(

Other good news this week is that on Monday, Tyler went to pick up these!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHH! I can't believe we have our wedding bands!! I am so excited!! They are so beautiful and I can't wait to wear mine!

At DRC, we are getting a new little dolphin! He was one that was stranded during the oil spill and he arrives on Friday! Guess what this means....more over night watches for me! I have to spend the night there 3 nights!! What am I going to do?! And I have to miss the superbowl....what a bummer :( Oh well, at least he is super cute! After this post, I'll post a video link of him at the facility he is at right now. You can fast forward to about 1:30 into the video because they talk about the turtles they have there also.

Bear Update: Well I am at work right now, but I'm sure Bear is at home sleeping. Because I had all day Tuesday off and Wednesday morning off, he was probably like "why are you here so much all of a sudden?" haha....I did do laundry this morning and like always, he tried to help me out the best he could...

Then, he was playing with this crinkle ball and he kept batting it under the dresser, and then would lay there and meow at it until I came over and got the ball out. Then, 5 min. later, he was meowing again. So I came up with a solution of how to stop this problem...

haha....I thought it was pretty nifty. I'm sure I'll come home to the towels all over the floor and his ball will be under there, but it worked for a little while.

Well....like I said before, a nice relaxing week with good things happening was just what I needed. I am also getting very excited because Tyler comes to visit on Friday the 11!! Thats only 8 days until I get to see him!!!! I can't wait! Thanks again for reading and I hope you have a wonderful night tonight :)
