It's Friday!

T.G.I.F everyone! I am so happy to be having a weekend off to spend in the nice warm weather we are expected to have. What a great way to end a terribly cold week....75 degree weather:) Time to get out the flip flops and short-sleeves! My favorite type of clothing! I swear I am meant to live in a warm climate. My body just does not do well in cold weather at all. I can honestly say that I have no desire to see another flake of snow for a LONG time! I guess seeing that I was pretty much born in snow country and lived there for a major portion of my life it really is not fun anymore.

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know a particular group of girls over the past couple of weeks...my Esther girls:) I am blessed beyond measure with every single one of them and can't stop thanking God for bringing them into my life. They are amazing and all so different, which is what I love about our group--diversity! We went through Week 2 of the Esther study by Beth Moore and were able to sample beauty treatments, compliments of Amber:) I have to say...thank God for making me a girl! I sure love being pampered. Sometimes I take for granted getting my nails done, or my hair cut and colored every month, but seriously I could not imagine being a guy! They do not get to have all the fun that we do as women:) Now don't get me wrong, it sure can be a total pain in the butt being a girl sometimes too. I mean we do have to go through the child birth part and go through painful and rather annoying periods every month, but all in all we can still pamper ourselves. I really have loved reading the book of Esther and being able to dig deeper into this story and how God's hand has completely guided the story. Everything has been nothing short of a miracle! If you have never read the book of Esther or really have not done a good Bible study in a while--I recommend this one!

Tonight, Peter and I are heading to my favorite resturant of all times---Panera Bread---with a newly engaged couple Kristin and Tim! I have known Kristin for a couple years and Peter knows her fiance as well. I have to interview a SPED teacher for the last week of my class and she teaches in a SPED classroom so I immediately thought of her! It will be good to catch up with her and of course the wedding plans---and do a little school work on the side:)

No other major plans happening this weekend. My brother comes a week from today and I am so excited to have him stay with us for a long weekend. He has not seen our house since we moved in. Well, I am going to get back to work here, but I will blog later on next week. Have a great weekend everyone!!
