busyness

I have been so extremely busy at work, that I haven't been motivated to blog much lately. I am counting down the days until June when, hopefully, my work schedule will lighten up somewhat until our big international conference in August.

Our dinner Monday night with the family was wonderful. I highly recommend St. John's Meeting Place for special occasions. The food was delicious and the atomosphere is really nice.

Tonight, Kirk & I have our 2nd pre-marital counseling session. We're looking forward to reviewing the results of our "relationship inventory" that we took during our last session. We've also been reading from our counselor's own book that he published about the spiritual element of marital relationships. It's been quite insightful/helpful. We are excited about developing that aspect of our life together with daily prayer and Bible study together.

Dia de la Madre

I was able to spend Mother's Day yesterday with Kirk's family. Both of his grandmothers were in town for a visit, so that was a real treat! My parents were out of town for a funeral, so we're celebrating tonight by taking my mom out to a nice dinner in Chattanooga. We're going to St. Johns Meeting Place on Market Street. I've never eaten there before, but I've heard rave reviews about their atomosphere and menu selections, so we're looking forward to a nice evening out!

ho-hum

It's been a few days since my last post. I've been extremely busy at the office. My physical body is really reacting to the stress of my job lately. It's becoming very frustrating! Among several other things, I am ready to rip the tonsils out of the back of my throat myself! They've been swollen, sore, and yucky-looking the last several days. Unfortunately, there's no time for a doctor visit in my jam-packed schedule. Oh well ... just thought I'd come vent to the cosmic void. *le sigh*

coffee & flowers

Well, Kirk succeeded in impressing me yet again this morning. He made a special trip to my office to surprise me with red roses and my favorite drink, a mocha frappuccino! I can't imagine what I've ever done to deserve a companion like him, but I'm thankful to have him.

monday already ?

*yawn* Boy, I really hate this place [the office] on Monday mornings! To be totally honest, I think I hate it every morning, but we won't go there. I had an okay weekend. Friday night we had dinner with my brother, Ben. Let's hear it for Thai food! I did have to work for a little while on Saturday, but overall, I was able to get some relaxing time in with my favorite person in the whole wide world, Kirk. We watched a couple good movies that we'd been wanting to see: "Jarhead" and "Two For The Money." We enjoyed them both. I'm really wishing that I had eaten breakfast this morning. I am going grocery shopping tonight to take care of that problem. Oh well ... nothing else to report at this point. Over and out!
