"OMWP"

This weekend was a long one with the MLK holiday this Monday. I spent the majority of the weekend in Birmingham where I hungout with visiting guests, Cameron Butler and Mac Gibson. We had a fun night Saturday night going to Jackson's for dinner and the Blue Monkey afterwards for drinks. The Blue Monkey was an interesting venue where we sat by the piano and made a new friend. We didn't know his name, so he was deemed the "one man wolf pack." This ginger fellow danced alone to the oldies playing on the piano and had a certain fondness for Mac. Unfortunately, "OMWP" was asked to sit down or leave and the atmosphere grew a little dull. Suffice it to say, we left soon after and I wish we had asked him to join our group. Then maybe his wolf pack would have grown from one to six...a six pack.

Mac and Cameron both left on Sunday. So, Monday morning I decided to go to Carrollton for the day. I was in a hurry to get there and meet my mom, dad and brother for lunch at a decent hour. I always hate losing an hour on the way there but it's so nice on the way back to gain one! It is a little under two hours on I-20 where the speed limit is 70 the whole way. Or so I thought. Guess who got a speeding ticket? Yep, a little upsetting.

Now I am back in Birmingham ready to start preparing for the maternity leave I am taking over in March. I am excited about being in a second grade classroom and really feel like I am going to love the school and system. Lately, I have been babysitting my little cousins and substituting in the schools close to my apartment. I also took the MAT again for the second and final time! Woo hoo! It should be a blast applying for grad. school and looking for jobs simultaneously(sike!). But seriously, I can't wait to see how it all pans out for the fall. Who knows where the Lord will take me?
