One crazy week...

Well, it has finally come, the day I've been waiting for...SATURDAY!! I must say this has been one of THE busiest weeks. Started off by packing, cleaning, organizing, and re-packing everything at my house in preparation of my move that was to take place Tuesday. My oh so sweet friend, Ashley came over and helped me clean and pack EVERYTHING...seriously, she was so sweet to give up her weekend to come and help me pack and clean MY stuff, and because of her, we got it done! So Monday night another sweet friend, Cassie came over and helped me pack my friend's truck and my car and dark-thirty while trying to find every nook and cranny to lightly place shove stuff in and that we did! Tuesday, the moving day finally arrived and despite the sprinkles downpour earlier in the day, the rain did decide to hold off just long enough for Mrs. Val and I to move all my stuff in! I can't even tell you how excited I am to be in my new home with my new roommate. Tuesday evening Mrs. P brought over my FAVORITE meal (Poppyseed chicken, green beans, rolls, and fruit) and myself, my roommate Tiffany, and her sweet boyfriend Chase sat down as a family at our table and enjoyed our first meal. The best part about it was having to use toilet paper as our napkins because we forgot napkins and paper towels. So on Wednesday came and man was I dragging...went to my Leadership Bay Session ALL DAY (but I must say I love this group of folks and we have become fast friends). Wednesday night I headed straight to the church as I had signed my small group up for selling pumpkins (that story will be on my following post) and Thursday I was up bright and early to head to a meeting I was supporting on base from 7am to 5pm...that's right...a 10 hour meeting (wanted to pluck my eyes out) but it was that morning that I remembered why I hate living on the 3rd floor of an apartment. I was leaving my house around 6:15 when I began to descend the first flight of stairs and about 2 or 3 steps into me walking down, I fell face first down the concrete steps, skinning my legs from my ankles all the way to my knees (seriously, it looks like someone took a bat to them, and feels like it too) and hit my head on the rod iron fence that was at the plateau before the next flight of stairs...can I just say that this would be my luck?! Anyways, I was fine, got up and on my merry way I went to the meeting where I then came home enjoyed my one un-hectic night of the week so far and then it was Friday. I worked and then headed home early to meet the cable guy and Ashley who came to stay the night. I'm always very leary of cable guys and any other random men coming in my home when I'm by myself so I called in Ashley for backup! As the cable guy was here, I decided I wanted to make cookies to put in my cookie jar and low and behold, I didn't burn them. I was so proud of myself I even offered them to the cable guy!!! They were delish! So here it is, Saturday morning I've been up for quite awhile, watching HGTV, sitting by the warm fire and even decided to make some cinnamon streusel muffins that ALSO came out without burning...man, my house smells wonderful!!
