a day in the life

Yesterday evening was a time when I noticed God abundantly showering blessings on me. He reminded me of the way that he'll give me good things like crazy when I trust him and try to be in the center of his will.

I went on an adventure with my friend Vicky. First we had dinner at Panera Bread - have you ever noticed those signs in the parking lot that read "park at your own risk?" Just a little odd... :) We had a really good conversation and then drove to both the Raleigh and Wake Forest Target in search of a coat for Vicky. I got a super cute dress on sale for $9.98 which was really exciting. I pretty much love sales. We sampled some of my favorite Austrian chocolate which they now sell in North Carolina (!) and got home in time for me to wave to my parents as they backed out the driveway on their way to Barnes and Noble. I was able to get some good music from iTunes with a gift card I got for Christmas. (As you can tell, it's the little things in life that make me really happy.) I had a late night, so way later than I should have been up I had the funniest conversation over facebook with Lilly, the sister of one of my best friends ever. The topic of this conversation is highly confidential (coughpineconescough) but all I can say is that I haven't laughed that hard in forever. The mix of Lilly's personality, the topic of conversation, shared memories and events that occurred while our chat was going on made the level of hilarity get to the point where I was seriously considering literally rolling on the floor laughing. It was probably one of the funniest nights of my life. Both yesterday night and this morning I've gotten several texts and facebook messages that really encouraged me.

I have to say that I love it when my life goes right. :)
