Friday night, I was torn between plans with two great groups of friends. Luckily, they both wanted to go to the same restaurant. I met my 4 seasons for dinner at Coyoacan in Quitman. Shortly after we arrived, we changed seats and went and sat in the back room with my co-workers. I loved getting to introduce my 4 seasons to my Principal, Assistant Principal, and teacher friends...and vice versa. What a CRAZY and FUN time!
Saturday, I helped with Project Rosebud all day long. It was life changing and the biggest blessing ever. I loved my cute 14 yr old. We started out with a breakfast of Chick-fil-a, doughnuts, fruit, you name it we had it...at the technical college. The technical school is sooo nice. The girls got facials, hair cuts, manicures, and their make-up done. Ms. Thomasville also hung out with them all day.
We spent most of the morning shopping at Belk's. We had great discounts and $200 to spend. My rosebud, racked up. It might've helped that I spent a good little chunk of my own money to get her a little bit more! :) She was precious, thankful, and very deserving. They changed into their new outfits and we went to lunch.
We planned a wonderful catered lunch at Madison Grove Clubhouse. We ate, then listened to two motivational (amazing, faith-based) speakers. I got just as much out of it as the girls. Then we took pictures out by the pool. Gave the girls all their goodies and gift bags, and played a really fun game with them. Their parents picked them back up around 4pm. I want to work with Project Rosebud every year. I loved it! What a ministry and great opportunity to serve others. Of course, it made me a little sad. But, what doesn't! My friend, Charity, said that she cries just thinking about Project Rosebud...it means that much to her. She also said that it sums up what League is about. I have to agree. I have so many great pictures...maybe I'll share more of them soon.
After PR, I went downtown to meet Carrie Beth, Bridgett, and Jennifer, who were shopping downtown. We hung out at my house for a bit, and then went to dinner at Cafe Marebella. Then we came back to my house for awhile. I love those girls! I only wish we all lived in the same town.
Sunday, church was AMAZING. Matt and I got sooo much out of our pastor's message. I LOVE HIM! Then we ran errands, and I did schoolwork, oh and got a wonderful Sunday nap.
Overall, PERFECT WEEKEND!
Hosea 6:1-3
Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us.
He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.
In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.
Oh, that we might know the Lord!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.
My favorite song in my college days!
