One Heck of a Week

Well, this week has been quite the adventure. On Monday, one of my best friends was in an accident involving a train. Thank the Lord she is okay, just a little banged up. But that was super scary. I don't know what I'd do if she had died. I'd certainly be even more of a mess than I am now.
On Thursday, I had a job interview with a maid service in Hoover. I'm fairly certain I got the job, as long as I pass the drug test, which I'm sure I will, I studied real hard for it;) Also, I made tie dye shirts with Sugoi and Morgan. That was super fun. It made me feel like I was in the 6th grade again. The magic of tie dye still amazes me. I mean, I know how it works, but it's so awesome to see a plain white t-shirt turn into something that looks like an explosion of color and design, simply by folding/twisting it and putting some rubber bands around it. We also made some bandannas. They turned out pretty sweet. Meanwhile, we also made pizza and an assortment of cookies. Peanut butter cookies with mini Reese Cups in the middle; sugar cookies wrapped around mini bars of Snickers, Twix, and Milky Ways; and chocolate chip cookies with cut up candy bars mixed it. Delicious! While our shirts were setting, we made veggie pizza and took it, along with some cookies, to Kaitlyn's house. It's her favorite type of pizza, and she is stuck inside all day (being hit by a train will do that to you). So, we went to visit her and bring her goodies. We also had made her a shirt, but it wasn't done yet. I then stayed the night at Morgan's and we sat in the hot tub and just talked. It was nice to have someone to talk to.
On Friday, we finished our shirts then headed to the park to take pictures with Sugoi. We looked so cute! LOL. Then Morgan and I headed into Calera to set up a few things. But, I can't tell you what just yet. Then we went back to my place and wrote on our shirts. We made Team Kaitlyn shirts, and wrote our names on the back with the number 12, which is the year Kaitlyn graduates. After they were finished drying, we donned ours and took Kaitlyn hers. She loved it, of course. Then we headed off to Relay for Life at the park. It was a different experience this year. I haven't ever actually known anyone who has had cancer, and then all the sudden someone who has become really important to me has been a survivor since she was nine. She's so strong! It was something different to actually know someone who has been through this horrible thing not once, but three times and still be the wonderful girl she is today. BTW, I'm talking about Morgan Lane. She's so strong and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.
Today, after a busy week, I've done pretty much nothing. I cleaned, had a delicious breakfast, and then went and looked, unsuccessfully, at cars. And then I went and watched my bestest friend in her senior play. Brianna was Belle in her high schools production of Beauty and the Beast. She did such a wonderful job!!! And then I finally got to hang out with her. I haven't spent any time with her outside of church since before I went to Idaho and so it was wonderful, even if it only lasted half an hour. Oh how I had missed her. She is so important to me and my sanity. LOL
It has been one heck of a week and one heck of a way to start off the summer..
