Whew!! First let me apologize for not writing in such a long time. Life has been crazy post Praxis. Way too much has happened to write about everything. So here is a (hopefully) brief list of what's gone on since I wrote last.
I took the Praxis on Sept 18th (day of the UT vs UF game) and passed!! The lady that was handing out the tests was wearing a UF so I figured it wasn't a good omen for the game and I was right.
Andy and I decided on a church for the wedding! Church of the Ascension is now booked for the Stevenson/McFalls wedding for next year. My next project: find a florist.
My mom and dad came to visit for the UAB game so I got to enjoy listening to my dad yell and playing "Where's Ross" (kind of like Where's Waldo only Ross is wearing a trainer's uniform on the UT sideline) with my mom...next time they come to visit we need binoculars. The Friday before the game we had dinner at Calhouns on the river and listed to a GREAT band (RammaJay Intercostal). I'd never heard "Walking in Memphis" played with a steel drum before but it was awesome....and now my dad and I both want to take steel drum lessons.
I watched UT lose to LSU because we are incapable of counting apparently. I think the entire coaching staff needs tutoring and maybe for next season we'll be able to count how many people are supposed to be on the field.
Drove to Memphis to surprise my grandma for her 80th birthday. Andy and I snuck into her house while we were on the phone with her. My favorite thing was my grandma saying "People have been lying to me all day!" since my aunt flew in from NC and my parents, sister and brother in law flew in from FL and she had no idea.
Drove to Memphis (the next weekend) to see Wicked!!!! I LOVE WICKED. I could see it literally everyday. My secret dream (which I guess isn't a secret anymore) is that I wake up one morning with the ability to sing....not just sing....like belt it out, Broadway leading lady, make people cry I'm so good sing. The people that cast Wicked will hear of me and beg me to come join the cast. I will of course agree and move to NYC to be Elphaba and be painted green every night. Nothing would stop this dream of coming true except I'm forgetting the fact that I can't sing, the only time I've acted was at an acting camp (and I didn't have a speaking part) and I have horrible stage fright. So I suppose I'll resign myself to watching Wicked on youtube and singing loudly in the car. Anyway...I went to see Wicked (my 3rd time) with my friends Jen and K-Lo and they both loved it. I'm already watching the ticket websites for when Wicked it coming back near Knoxville.
I came back to work and my boss told me that we're moving our office 2 miles down the road. The new office is bigger than our current one and I'll have my own room!!! YAY!!! My boss also recently hired a part time audiologist.
What I'm excited about coming up:
-My parents coming to visit for the Ol' Miss game.
-Drs appointment with a kidney stone specialist in NC (yeah I know I'm a dork but I don't care I just want to not have kidney stones anymore)
-Memphis for Thanksgiving
Until next time.
