5 on a Friday

 

I am baaaaaaacccckkkk! I wish I could say I came with excuses to give you for my absence, but I'd be lying. I just have the usual "I've been so busy" excuse that you would give a guy you don't really want to go out with. But I have missed all my bloggy buddies SO MUCH!!!!!

I've been in Atlanta all week for a work conference and let me just say that I really do love Atlanta, but those people do NOT know how to handle a snow day. The whole city was shut down and the news people were throwing around words like "catastrophic". It was terrifying. All over maybe 2 inches of snow. We got 10 inches in my hometown, keep in mind. Most snow we've seen in years. But overall, ATL was fun and MAN they know how to make some grits!!

My food from Pitty Pat's which was DELICIOUS! Man I love being Southern!

We need a Flying Biscuit in Knoxville PRONTO!



Thursday AM outside my hotel in Buckhead

My church did a women's conference last weekend called IF:Gathering. It was SO incredible! I was so honored to be a table leader and was able to network with a totally new group of girls. You know how when you leave those things you feel like you can take over the world? Yeah, I still have that feeling in my veins! It was just all about sharing our stories and connecting with each other on a deeper level. Nothing can hold us back when we openly talk about our fears and stand together. #girlpower

Treat yo self to a cute little V-Day mani - trust me, you deserve it!

Made me laugh!! Gotta love V-day humor! And no I'm not bashing my ex... he's a great guy, just not the one for me.

Tonight I will be with some of my favorite girls from my small group at church and we are going to Winter Jam. I've never been before, but I'm pretty excited. Valentine's Day isn't about embracing love WITH A MAN, it's about embracing any kind of love that you have in your life. Just because you don't have a boyfriend doesn't mean you don't have love. I LOVE YOU! :) If you need to hear that more, then please let me know and I'm happy to tell you. Because sometimes I just need to be told that I'm loved too.

 

Happy Valentine's Day weekend, my loves!!! It's a 3-day weekend for me! YAY for dead presidents! My nerdy self will be all over the History channel this weekend, I'm sure. XOXO
