Growing up!

It has been yet again WAY too long since I have blogged! I wish I was better at staying up that little bit extra every other night to just work on post at least once a week! I am going to again just try to do better!
Life has been crazy, but it has been such a growing last couple months for me. I feel like I am learning "big girl" lessons and just every day learning more about who I am becoming! I would be masking it all if I said it has been easy. I have been keeping my focus on the stars, and not letting the darkness get me down. There is so many encouraging people that I have in my life and they have kept me going! I have had a busy schedule, but it has been full of living on and serving people....that is what keeps me going!
 

Work: It has been a challenge, but at the end of the day I always look back and am so thankful for being blessed to work for such a great company and owner. I have been over prep, but this last week I have been helping manage the kitchen with a good friend of mine. Last week was tiring yet I am so proud of the kitchen. It has been so awesome to see our kitchen come together and have each others backs. The kitchen can be very stressful and it is cool to see it full of support for one another! 
 
 
 One night we had to feed the UGA band so we had to go in at 1am.  It did not make any sense for me to come home for a couple hours so I slept in the playground in the cow car :)
Got to do what you got to do :)

 
Halloween night I volunteered at a church that a lady from CFA attends and had a blast with all the little kids that were there! 
 
 
The corporate office- I was blessed with being chosen from my store to go and visit our corporate office in Atlanta. There was about 16 of us that went {between two stores} and it was so eye opening! It was so cool to see how humble Truett Cathy was. He has recently went to be with the Lord, but it was so cool to see how his family is keeping that same humble spirit in the business. My favorite part was the test kitchen. It is where they test all the up coming products! It was mind blowing to see all the thought and energy they put into one product that has the potential to be successful or even fail. The people there were so friendly and I was able to meet so many different people. 

 
 
This is the van of everyone that went from the store I work at! It was such an encouraging/FUN van ride both there and back! 
 

These words were put up after Truett passed of just words that described him. 

 I tried to compile my pictures into different areas so I didn't have as many pictures just collages :) 

Here is where all the staff eats everyday... 

 
The test kitchen...


On our trip we were also able to also go to the first ever CFA dwarf house and eat PIE!! I got coconut pie and it was so yummy!
 

Sundays: Every week I am the leader of a 4-5 year old class and I love all the kids as my own. They are so sweet and just have this free sprit that is so contagious. We have a blast every week and learn more about the Love of our Savior. 

 
 
Then I get to babysit sweet little Norah on Sunday nights! 
 

My birthday: To sum it up I felt so loved by so many people! It has always been so hard for me to spend  a birthday or a holiday away from my family. This year I went to corporate the day before my birthday and when I walked in the door after a long day LoLo and Gabby had a surprise dinner all set and ready for me when I got home! They had decorated the apartment and made dinner and dessert! It was so sweet of them, I did not really felt beyond thankful. 

 
Dinner was so good! they did a Mexican theme!

 

Yes, am getting old ;)
These two girls mean so very much to me! Could not ask for a better roommate and bestfriend!


I had to go to work on my birthday, but two of my good friends there made it so fun! They covered me in whipped cream after our lunch rush (yeah felt just as great as it sounds). I also had gifts and cards from my family waiting for me when I got home:)


This is my birthday breakfast :) Oh, no calories in any food on your birthday..don't u know that...


Since we were all so tired after the long day at the store my friends took me to a farm that Sunday to celebrate! They took me out to lunch, then we went and played at the farm and got to go through a corn maze! I had one and a half things of Cotten candy { ;o) } and probably could have even eaten more!! We were going to stop for slushes to cool us off on our way home, but I had fallen asleep in the back seat...so they called it a day! 
 

All around it was a ton of fun and I made so many birthday memories I will not forget! 

Catering- I got the opportunity to cater a small bridle shower! The pictures really speek for me :)  again just trying to not have it take u a year to get through this post :) 


I will update you all on my soccer team in my next post, so look forward to that update soon! Thanks for supporting our blog and I will try to post more for you more often! Have a fantastic week!
 
With a pinch of love,
