okay, okay, Jules!

So my bestie called me out for not having posted in about a year, so here I am.  Apparently, even though we talk/type nearly every day, she cannot live without my posts, and I cannot deny such a dear friend anything.  Anything for the Love!  ;)

Quick update, more later:

-- Those of you familiar with Melissa's story -- she has her first MRI since the surgery back in July today.  We hung out last night and she's in good spirits, but understandably kinda nervous.  We should know results later today.  Please, if it's on your heart, remember this in your prayers today.  This is big.

-- Mississippi trip is coming up quick -- a week from today.  Lots of prep to get things ready for the week I'll be gone, so it's going to be a busy few days in the old cubicle.  Now that it's coming up so quick, I am about equal parts slightly nervous and excited, but am so grateful this door was opened for me.  And excited that I have a three-hour layover in Houston.  Three hours in an airport?  YES!  PEOPLE WATCHING AT ITS BEST!

-- Life has been so lovely and full lately.  My days are full of good time spent with friends, happy memories made, fun conversations had.  Keeps me busy, but it's been good times.  Happy.

-- One thing that has been a bit of a challenge (and why posts have been so sparse) is that the writing well has been a bit dry lately... I am really looking forward to coming back with stories of what I saw and experienced in Bay St. Louis.  Nothing like new perspective, right?

Okay.  I'm now late for the gym, so I'd better head out.  (It's 6:06 am.  Don't act like you're not impressed).
