Happy Friday, friends and fam! I hope it's been a good week! I decided to throw in a quick blog update in these final moments tonight. God's kindness has continued to shine in a way that makes me feel grateful, as our Wednesday-Friday jury trial settled, so I had some extra time to devote to homework and counseling paperwork and transcripts!
In addition to that, Chettles asked on Sunday if I "had to" be back at work on Tuesday... and since we had nothing set, I promptly decided to take it as a recovery day from my trip. lol (Which honestly was needed and helpful, but I'll cover that in the next post.)
After unpacking on Monday night, I made a Tulsa trip to join Chet and Karli and Teresa for the 11am showing of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale! Thanks to Chet and Karli for the movie ticket, and it was great getting to see all of them again, as it had been over a month, which is a rarity that I do not care to repeat.
Our pic by the movie poster that you can barely see. =)
This was after our lunch at Mission BBQ... I was happy that Teresa and Karli both randomly wore pink that day too! =)
The movie was pretty great... lots of memories with this series (starting with K-Lamb and TLT back in the day), and I'm happy that they ended it well!
I love a comeback story and I love strong female characters... most improved character goes to Lady Edith!
Panera dinner before movie #1 in 2019 + Pic outside the theater after movie #2 in 2022! It makes me happy that I've seen all of them with the Wilsons!
Truth:
The Doubletree by the DFW airport gets a 7 out of 10 rating from me - I appreciated the complimentary cookies and shuttle ride to the airport, but the hotel itself was pretty meh. The Embassy Suites in Frisco (pic below) gets a 9 out of 10, as I very much enjoyed my stay there! (Only Vegas or NYC hotels can merit a 10 out of 10 in my book for a fantastic view. lol)
Surreal that I was watching Leslie perform live in NYC less than a week ago!!
The marketing genius of T-Swift continues. She's doing a movie "release party" for one weekend only for her new album dropping October 3rd. I hopped over to the Regal app to claim my seat 30 minutes after she made that announcement, and the theater was already half full. lol Kristin sent me the Sugar Llamas ad, and I will gladly enjoy some Swiftie-style mini donuts! =)
Top right = the FB ad that caught my attention while they knew I was in Dallas. Didn't take me long to decide to go... not quite as good as the one in Branson, but I enjoyed it and learned a couple new things (Like that "RMS" Titanic = Royal Mail Ship because in addition to holding over 2000 passengers, they were carrying loads of cargo across the ocean.)
Kristin with Hope and Miles at Evergreen's Pastries with Parents breakfast! ❤
My current workplace, the Cleveland County Courthouse! I'm honestly very grateful to be there!!
Our deputies and the metal detector (I get to pass by it since I'm a courthouse employee). This was a photo posted by the county on FB.
This = my phone notes from Mel's podcast today. It was a very well-timed reminder for me!
Let them be confused, and let me be clear...
More on that coming right up.
I love you and believe in you, and I believe God is with you and for you today!
❤ ❤ ❤
