I'm going on 5 days without working for feeling like crap!

the promised video.

I got ahold of the video from my embaressing weekend...
They only caught the tail end of it...but here it is. [my intial reactionof hearing my name would have been better] I couldn't hate the person that called me up on stage more.

[esssh]

essh is right...
Friday I was really sick...had to leave work 1.5 hours into my day...slept all day, then felt pretty good, so I decided to keep going with my weekend...only to be in my bed all day today with the flu...I guess I should have taken it easy...

BUT I had a good weekend!!! Here are some pics to sum it up. I love festive fall weekends.

hanging out with Autee

[error.]

I am going to make a statement that I have said time and time again...

I HATE at&t.

It only happens with Autee...whenever I text her, which seems to be the most common person I text, it generally goes to everyone BUT her. So, if you get a text, and it doesn't make sense to you...it probably wasn't for you!!! It makes for a really awkward conversation with it goes to people I haven't talked to in awhile. Oops!! [at&t is activley working to fix your situation ms. miedema...]thanks, but seriously, you guys suck!

Tomorrow is a new day! Thank goodness! I was in a terrible mood all day! I think im looking forward to next weekend a little too much.

Happy Tuesday!!

[amazing weekend]

I had an AMAZING weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday at a retreat. It was awesome. like really, I wish I could go back. I learned SO much about myself. I can't even describe the experiance I had. It was like nothing I have ever felt before. The only way I can really describe it is a song that I heard repeatidly the whole time. Something is definitly going on when you just sit there in tears and you can't understand why!!! It was a really refreshing experiance.

"Whatever your doing inside of me
 it feels like choas but I beilieve,
 your up to something bigger than me
 its hard to surrender to what I can't see,
Larger than life, something heavenly"   -Whatever your doing by Sanctus Real.

Funniest part of the weekend...
I totally hate to be the center of attention...especially in a room full of people. They called up 3 volunteers on friday and my stomache was flipping really just hoping they didnt call out my name...WHEW, they didn't call on me...
Saturday...sitting there, once again they call someone random out...I hear NICOLE...omw, lets be real...I am NOT going on that stage...but sure enough, I had to go up. My heart is racing and I am shooting up prayers for God to take me right then and there...I have HUGE stage fright.  I had to go into a room so I couldn't know what was going on...they told the group what they wanted me to do and I had no clue, so I had to come on stage and do something random...if it was close to what they wanted me to do then they would all cheer, kind of like a hot and cold game. I started by spinning...they cheered...so I figured it had to do something with turning around in a circle. I then couldn't figure out what they wanted from me, so the guy goes...ill do a sound effect...he makes the kissing noise. OMW, there was a guy next to me...so as I got closer to him they started cheering louder...sure enough...they wanted me to give him a kiss. SO EMBARRESED!! its on video..ill locate it!

here are some pictures of the weekend!!!


I made some cupcakes for Autee's b-day!

Off to enjoy the freezing weekend!

Project Pumpkin...next weekend :) I LOVE fall!



Roadtripping up to Northstar!

Deep convo with a really great person!

AND im frozen. my hands took HOURS to heat up!
And i'll leave you with something the leader said that really made me think. [he was talking about the busyness of life, and making sure you arn't overbook] He said something along the lines of- in making those decisions, think about and chose the thing that when you fast forward 5 years, what is going to make the most difference in your life, or the life of others around you.
 I now see that working 60 hours a week is NOT how I need to spend my time! I need to be doing stuff for other people, for myself and for God.

[free? hardly]

Gluten that is...
Im doing a new Gluten/dairy free totally organic  deal...it has positive results as in the way I feel at the end of the day, and whatnot... but let me tell you, its NOT a cheap route!! Geesh!! Thankfully the grocery store here has a whole section with rows and rows of options which makes it convienant and quick!!!

[minus the funfetti cupcakes (pink sprinkles... thick frosting...you get the idea!)I'll be making this weekend for my friends birthday...maybe I'll just look at them]

Second: There is nothing like waking up to a text that says "Good Morning Beautiful". maybe cheesy (sorry) but it's nice.

I'm so genuinely happy. life is wonderful, and this weekend is quickly approching...Took some time off from work on friday and gone all weekend with a few of my favorite people. LOTS of pictures to come.

[another one in the books!]

Happy ___th Birthday to my mother!!!!
(that would be a big 6-0 in that blank!!!)

LOVE YOU!!!
