Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

Kyndal Faith had her final volleyball tournament with her Charge South 11s team this weekend... they were running a full hour ahead of schedule, so Mom and I made the drive to Tulsa to watch one game, but still worth it to support the Mini Miss K!

Amber (one of the team mom's) had these shirts made with close-up pics of the girls faces. lol. Rach was standing behind a little girl at first - I heard Kyndal say, "You can't even see my face, bro!" so I told Rach to move to the left a little, then she did the sorority squat and had her hands together and Kyndal's face was kinda blocked and scrunched again. lolol

This = Kyndal being annoyed with her right after that! lol

Team pic - Tulsa Regionals tournament!  (This = the one JEM and Chet came to on this exact day last year!)

Aunt Lindsey and Mamaw getting a pic with the volleyball star!

Cheese on a stick... nom nom for us, David!  They had one concession stand that had this, corndogs, chicken on a stick, and funnel cakes -- and they were raking it in with their 4-item menu!!

Two selfies in a row, but whatever - Dad was kind enough to wash my car as we were gone, and Mom was kind enough to order this happy pink sticker for it, so this is me celebrating that!! ❤  In far more annoying news, the next-level-stress + sunscreen-free-sun + humid-salty-sweat combo of the marathon caused a cortisol hormone surge, peeling dry skin, and the worst breakout I've faced since my teen years... all perfectly timed for my graduation later this week.  Sadness.  I've been trying to be extra-zen and meditative to re-regulate my shaken nervous system and calm the breakout, but I don't think it's gonna work in a time crunch, sooo yay, concealer!

Tried out the Moore LC campus for the first time on Sunday.  Craig is doing a sermon series on marriage, but I appreciated the emphasis on how unity is built through a common mission and a common enemy... obviously true for the entire body of Christ, as well!

Thissss applies in a couple places for me, and it's making me think... also, the comma is not needed. lol

I got a post-race hot stone massage at Mokara Spa in the Omni Hotel downtown... highly recommend - the spa atmosphere and amenities there are fantastic!  I hadn't been since approximately a year ago when I had a pre-surgery massage... I was pleased that the robes fit better this time. lol

Crazy rain and flooding in Moore lately... this was Portland and Bryant both being shut down when I was gonna go home for lunch on Monday. lol #changeofplans

But in happy news, the flooding did finally inspire them to replace my disgusting ceiling tiles, and it brought me so much joy to put my office back together after that!

Kudos to Chettles and Mark Anthony, who are training for the Tulsa Tough this summer.  They did 40 miles on their bikes this Saturday!  Pics = Chet walking the bike to his car after getting a flat tire in their previous long ride, Chet sending me a hilarious pic after Mark fell trying to hop the curb, and a FaceTime screenshot while I was on my trip to Tulsa on Saturday. lol

Okay, this post is full of randomness, but I'll feel caught up afterwards, so bear with me.  The Atkinson ladies are currently on a trip to Paris, and I'm loving all the photos and stories!!  Beth bought her first Chanel purse at the original Chanel store there, they had amazing desserts at the fabulous Carette bakery, which is now on my list for my future Paris trip!  Tori bought art supplies and explored Monet's actual gardens and water lily ponds, and they're all living it up and hitting the fun tourist spots!  The pic of Lauren baptizing her daughter was definitely local, not in Paris, but I was collecting these to add to my Board of Empowerment, so yay!!  It makes me happy to see each of them living with joy and passion and using their gifts to make a difference! ❤

Speaking of joy, how freaking adorable is Parker Elizabeth!?

We met the Wilsons and Melissa for a late lunch at Slim Chickens after the volleyball match this weekend... I was so happy to see Chet driving the red truck that once belonged to his Uncle Richard!  And carting tons flowers for their neighborhood planting party this weekend! =)

Jace Michael in his fish-shirt signed by Paul Cuffaro (not sure I'm spelling that right?)

I made a cake with Karli's cookies n' cream icing to bring for our fam dinner tomorrow... I also was kind enough to taste test it first! lol  Yum!

Ran into someone named Kevin Franklin, so I had to text Rach this gif from Houseguest, circa 1995! =)

I could add a few things in each column, but it's a pretty solid list!

Sent this one to Rach! lol

She took J&K to Okana last Tuesday, and they had a lot of fun!

Annie hanging out on the beach with a friend!  It's funny how much I feel like we are real-life friends!

That's all I've got for you today - yay for being caught up at work, and now caught up on my photo documenting!  Hope your week is off to a lovely start!!
