5-6

The last hour of work is so hard. Like, mind boggling hard. I thought I was grown up now...you know, responsible and hard working and stuff? Eh, not so much.

Yesterday I took the scenic route back to Atlanta. All I could think about was how creepy all of the small little towns were that I drove through....including Fort Payne which yes, is the city with the Alabama grp museum. The drive was a good change up though. Back roads, windows down, blaring Dixie Chicks song, "Cowboy Take Me Away". It all makes me think about my childhood.

A few things I loved about my weekend at home.....visiting with Ms. Mary Cox. Meeting sweet little Lenox. & spending Easter with my family and cute Kayla.

Looks like this Monday is o-ver. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Death in His grave...

I think it is pretty amazing how something that happened centuries ago can still be felt in the hearts of people today. Good Friday always makes me feel, think, and most of all acknowledge and appreciate what God did for us- what saved us.

Though the Earth cried out for blood

Satisfied her hunger was

Her billows calmed on raging seas

for the souls of men she craved

Sun and moon from balcony

Turned their head in disbelief

Their precious Love would taste the sting

disfigured and disdained

On Friday a thief

On Sunday a King

Laid down in grief

But awoke with keys

Of hell on that day

The first born of the slain

The man Jesus Christ

Laid death in his grave

So three days in darkness slept

The morning sun of righteousness

But rose to shame the throne of death

And over turn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men

Would pay not their dues again

The debt of blood they owed as rent

When the day rolled a new

He was cheated

Hell and seated

Us above the fall

In desperate places

He paid our wages

One time once and for all

Today is going to be a good day :) That is if my bestie will ever wake up. This weekend we are pretending to be roomies. My real roomie (who I love dearly) is out of town, so Erica decided to come up and keep me company! She even drove through the storm...what a sweet little friendy! Things I like about right now.....listening to Coachella's live stream + drinking coffee, the sunshine peaking through the blinds, and time with my bestie! Weekends for just us are rare...and therefore, needed. Wake up E!

:)

This&That

I've been wondering what my next blog post would be about, waiting for that moment of inspiration & motivation combined but have began to think that it may not ever come, at the right time at least. Usually I have all these ideas & motivation to write while at work....typical, huh? So, this is going to be a post full of random thoughts.

I am really enjoying Spring, my wallet......not so much. Sporadic buys are way too common these days. With the change of seasons, I am all about the phrase...."out with the old, in with the new". Sounds like a good thought for this time of year...but then, there's the whole in with the new part that I tend to focus more on.

This past Saturday, I decided was going to be a good day. My plan was to wake up early (ew) and make my way down to a local farmers market I've been meaning to go to for a while. Despite the fact that I made it there with 15 minutes until it was over & the ATM was conveniently out of service, I enjoyed the small time I had. There is something so purifying about a sweet little local market. It reminded me of the Cotton District Arts Festival that Starkville has every spring. Of course it was smaller, but just as inspiring and cute. I can't wait to go back this weekend, and buy some locally made granola bars for breakfast next week! :)

{These are just pictures I got from google image, but how adorable is the marketing for this market?}

Next I made my way to an outdoors store down the road, just to browse. I swear, every guy in there was a hottie which means I need an excuse to go back, hehe.....any suggestions? For real though, the best part was that I scored some sweet deals which included some new Toms (on sale & wearable for work) AND a cute little back pack that will be great for the Hangout Festie.....which, btw, I CANNOT WAIT TO BE HERE....anywayzzzz, good good Saturday. I loved every minute of it.

Other things worth mentioning...

-I saw Amos Lee this weekend at Variety. It goes without being said but he was absolutely amazing. I felt the meaning behind each song he sang.

-I went on a date this weekend (hehe....leaving it at that)
