It's 4 am and I'm wide awake. Blame it on the night shift life, but insomnia is raging full force. Which I suppose is a blessing in disguise--gives me a little time to actually show the blog a little love. You know the usual song and dance..."work and school and life and blah blah blah have kept me so busy..." but really. Story of my life.
I'm off work today and am going to try to cling to my sanity and see the sunlight, work out without being in a rush, and actually lay eyes on some of my friends. Being social always recharges my batteries after being drained a little by work nights and busting my rear to try to get into the swing of grad school. Humph, life. I need a vacation.
Here's a little bit of a life update through Instagram, just to prove I'm still alive and well.
I've been reading through Ephesians and I'm really loving Ephesians 3:14-21...it's been popping up randomly in devotionals and in cards, and I love to keep reading it! It's such an incredible testament of His love for us.
This past Friday, we went to Starkville (our rival university's town, for those of you who don't live in the South) to celebrate Andrew's BFF's birthday! I really love Andrew's group of friends from home, so I'm always excited to see them.
Molly, me, and Rebecca--two of my favorite girls in the whole world!
One of the best things about going to Starkville--getting to hang out with my Kelsie!
Somehow I didn't get a picture of the birthday boy or his sweet girlfriend...didn't even get a picture with Andrew. Humph.
Saturday night, one of our precious friends from high school got married! So we went to celebrate with her and her new hubby...
Kelsie, Mrs. Wells, and me
The happy couple dancing their first dance :)
Kelsie's mom, Vicki, Kelsie and me...my second family
Photobooth fun...you know how I love photobooths
Sunday night was taco night...our house is finally almost perfectly put together, so we had a few friends over to enjoy some dinner with us!
And this is what we do for fun on Sundays...play with a camera app on my phone.
Had to post this picture because it cracks me up.
Something else I've been doing a lot of lately...reading and studying.
This is my "Finance in Healthcare" book--also known as "A Nurse Attempting to Read Chinese." Send me some prayers :)
Last night, we had Dierks Bentley in the Grove. It surprisingly wasn't too hot, just super crowded. I felt so old with all the little freshman running around--oh, and when we were in college, our wardrobe was Nike shorts and sorority tank tops...now, it's apparently high-waisted, cut-off jean shorts with midriff tops. One trend that I won't be getting on board with...
Can you tell how excited we were to see Dierks!?
My mother came up for the concert--she's Dierks' biggest fan. I was so happy to get to see her though!!
Pardon the big, white leg...
Friends...
Mr. Bentley himself...I'm not a huge country fan, but I will say he isn't too bad to look at in his white t-shirt and tight jeans!
Well, I'm going to attempt to doze off for a few before the day gets started. I'm going to lunch with two of my favorites and then going to see a play tonight with Rebecca. Good day! Hope you all have a lovely day...I seriously MUST get caught up on your blogs. Miss my people!
Happy Thursday to you!

You are such a busy lady! I hope grad school is going well for you so far!
And I, too, say that I'm not the biggest country fan, but anytime I find myself at a country concert I have such a good time. I guess we can't deny the Southern in us. Hope you have a fabulous (and not too stressful and busy) rest of the week!
So jealous of the Dierks concert... He hasn't had a good song out in a few years but he sure is fun to look at and his old songs are so good!
and yea, I can't get into the new trend either. Simply put, it's just not cute... at all.. cut offs? sure. 80's inspired cut offs? Not so much... who wants their arse to look ten feet long? Not me..
Oh, so good to hear from you. And, guess this really, really shows my age, but I don't even know who Dierks is. How funny!
Love your glasses! Too cute! Great pics and looks like lots of fun.
Hang in there with graduate school. It will be worth it in the end. :o)
Blessings my dear!
What a FUN night!! I hope that it was able to relieve a leeeetttle of your stress. I need to get caught up on grad school!!! I'll be sure to pray for your "chinese" class. ;)
Glad you are still packing in a bunch of fun with your grad school stuff going on too. It's always important to keep that balance!
Also, Dierks Bentley is sooooo hot. If I ever have my own dog, I might name it after him. haha
I'm so jealous! I wanted to go to the concert soo bad!
I've applied to Grad School! Ahhhh!
I absolutely LOVE Ephesians 3:20 :) it brings SO MUCH hope! & you look SO CUTE in those last few pictures.. :) Have a wonderful weekend, sweet girl. You're a beautiful person, inside & out. XO
I still haven't grown out of the nike shorts and oversized tank phase!! This girl is never hopping on board with a midriff shirt. NEVER.
