This has been an amazing week, and hopefully it is the beginning of many.  When I sit back and look at my life I’ve had incredible ups and downs, and I feel as though life is starting to make sense.  I used to think my life was horrible and I focused so much on that that I neglected to see the everyday positives.  This week alone, one of my closest friends brought her baby into the world–and Miss Mallorie is positively a beauty. 

 

Now my best friend, who moved to FL for her Ph.D. is coming in for the WKU homecoming game.  She is definitely a ray of sunshine in my life that I’ve missed desperately.  I know that we’ve both been incredibly busy, grad school is totally kicking me in the face, but there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. 

Another plus for this week came in thr form of Charlie Daniels.  I got a chance to work security at the concert.   Before the show we were all out in the lobby of Van Meter and we sat there in awe as we watched him eat fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans.  Suddenly I realized…he’s human–he’s not some musical super-god.  He rocks, that’s for sure, but the way he interacted with people that is what showed the type of person he really is, and that is phenomenal. 

I can’t wait to see what this weekend holds in store, besides the obvious homework that has been neglected thus far.
