Weekend Update!

Tonight (after waking up from my nap at 6-ish), I'm having an awesome Honey Nut Cheerios and Rice Chex mix for dinner, playing with my freaking adorable Pom puppies, and starting a new book (Divergent - I decided to read it before the movie comes out - I went ahead and bought the trilogy)! :)

This has been an interesting week at the courthouse... Laura's first week at work (YAY!) and we have the worst trial that we've had in the 7+ years I've been there!  It was cruel and graphic and hard to hear, but I assured her it's all uphill from there.  Judge and the Clerk's Office all have been impressed with her, as I expected they would be.  It's been really nice having her there! :)

So glad the weekend is here - it's been fun and relaxing so far!  I'm a teensy bit nervous about Monday, because for the first time ever, I'll be a witness at a jury trial, testifying about my car wreck from 2012.  I'll update you on how that goes next post.

Now here goes another picture update... get excited! lol

Women's LifeGroup celebrating Datonna's birthday!

Lauralai Allison's first day at work!! :)

Susie took us out for a celebratory dinner at Los Cabos! =)

Laura's present from her mom! lol  (She'd mentioned on FB that since she's leaving the dental industry, she would now have to buy her own toothbrush and toothpaste for the first time in years.)

My close friend and coworker! :)

I'm going to try to post a "LIGHT" themed verse and picture every week for my word of the year!

The lights on Main Street in Jenks - love it almost as much as I love tree bridges!! :)

And now, a video so you can feel like you were there:

I signed up for this mid-2012 and forgot all about it in 2013.  So when they emailed my "Year End Report," I got pretty cracked up!  Awesome! lol

Celebrating Kristen's 30th birthday at Georgia's Arts & Crafts!

Sam-Sue has interrupted this blog post to say hello! lol

Bellsy does too, just not quite as enthusiastically. lol
They're definitely a handful, but the good far outweighs the bad!

My verse for the year (2 Cor. 4:6).

Final thought, I got up early this morning for Panera breakfast + seeing a matinee of Frozen with a group of girls... I must say again, I really love it!

Top 10 "messages" that make Frozen awesome:

1.  Don't fall too fast; not every 'prince' is what he seems.
2.  Sometimes loving, well-meaning parents mess up.
3.  Even princesses don't wake up looking perfect. :)
4.  Let go of fear and hiding and embrace what makes you unique.
5.  Isolating yourself from those who love you is not the answer, ever.
6.  Nobody's perfect - everybody's a "fixer-upper."
7.  Snowmen are awesome.  As I've always thought they would be.
8.  Fear causes confusion and panic and makes people cold and hard.
9.  An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart. :)  And that doesn't have to be romantic love -- this movie is actually about the sisters' relationship, not the love story!
10.   As the trolls say, "People make bad choices when they're mad or scared or stressed, but throw a little love their way and you'll bring out their best!" :)

That's all for now - see ya next week! =)
